<![CDATA[This brief article has two objectives. First, it aims to provide a concise and lucid elucidation of Theory of Levels, an ontological system which the veteran Japanese thinker Shinichiro Kurimoto first invented in the early 1980s and has ever refined through the course of his decades-long career. Second, it intends to demonstrate with cogency that the discourse, albeit having been buried in oblivion for quite a while, carries a potential to help one to obtain a new perspective from which to freshly and positively interpret the existential dilemma between our natural sense that each one of us is a unique existence and the sheer reality that every one of us is merely a trivial strand of diverse larger structures. In order to achieve the objects, the argumentation proceeds in the following order. Taking a survey of the papers in which Kurimoto’s Theory of Levels makes an appearance, the initial part confirms that, though it fis not the case that all academicians have completely disregarded the theory, as yet none of them has conducted a sufficiently comprehensive dissection thereof. Consulting, or rather reconstructing Kurimoto’s laconic account in his 2013 booklet entitled The Last Lecture of Shinichiro Kurimoto, the second part clarifies that the theoretical singularity of Theory of Levels consists in that it enables one to deem an existence to be a ternary object and thereby to get over the apparently insuperable quandary mentioned above. The third part concludes the discussion by indicating that decades after Kurimoto some researchers in natural science come to discuss from their own scientific perspective some views that hold a quite high degree of intimacy with Kurimoto’s theory. The authors of this paper are fully convinced that the Theory of Levels and/or fields upheld by the researchers mentioned in this paper are worth academic efforts to be scrutinized to close in on the ontological essence of mankind and every other existence alike. Keywords: Shinichiro Kurimoto, Theory of Levels, Japanese Thought]]>

<![CDATA[Literature reproduces social realities. These realities are furnished through ideas and form in the service of a society and every of its moments and events in history. Drawing from the foregoing proposition, this study explores the connection between literature, idea, and the feminist consciousness in Charlotte Perkin Gilman’s “The Yellow Wall-Paper” in order to demonstrate Gilman’s foregrounding of the challenge of a married woman. This study notes that Gilman’s portrayal re-echoes the challenges of contemporary women against the exertions of patriarchy, and the denial of the female voice and agency in marital space. Gilman underscores her theme through specific narrative strategies such as the creation of a cognitively active and questioning female character; who is prevented from exercising her artistic abilities and whose agency is stifled as a house wife without a name in contrast to her husband Dr. John. Another strategy is through the use of symbols such as the yellow wall paper to allegorize the female condition in marital sphere in the similitude of a prison and a caged existence. Importantly, while this paper locates the society as an important source of inspiration for the feminist idea manifest in “The Yellow Wall-Paper”, this paper submits that Gilman makes a demand for social change, and her short story constitutes a type of resistance to the narrative framing of women in domestic sphere by men, institution, authorities and orthodoxies as marginal and subalterns.]]>

<![CDATA[It is expected that Indonesian secondary school students learn to read in English for fulfilling school requirements (for both learning and testing). However, many students have a problem in reading textbooks caused by the lack of students’ understanding in answering the comprehension questions correctly. This leads to students' lack of interest in reading. Having collected the relevant pieces of literature and data, we concluded that students' motivation, the students' awareness of reading text genre, and the proper implementation of reading strategies are the effective solution to enhance Indonesian secondary students' reading comprehension skills. This study offers some important insights to the research in reading skills not only academically but in daily life. Moreover, the study is to facilitate English teachers in understanding students' reading comprehension problems, what strategies to apply in teaching reading and how to choose the suitable reading text genre to make their students achieve better in their academic performance and to make the students' love reading. Keywords: reading skill, comprehension, secondary school, students]]>
