Abstract

ABSTRACT: Today, humans are always faced with the complexity of the acute world situation. This situation is nothing but an increasingly worsening environmental crisis. This emergency situation is inseparable from the increasingly exalted anthropocentric ego. The assumption that eliminates intrinsic value to other ecosystems and the wrong way of life leads to the separation of relations between humans and the surrounding reality.The interdependent context between all ecosystems is degraded due to the wrong attitude of life from humans. The loss of the relationship brought a variety of environmental damage which caused the destruction of human existence itself. Poverty, hunger, war, global warming, floods and drought are a few of the critical phenomena of nature. For these increasingly emergency natural phenomena, this thesis is written as a critical reflection for humans to re-examine their nature as religious, social and ecological creatures as well as concrete action that must be done to reconstruct relations (reconciliation) with nature, with the surrounding environment and especially reconciliation with his own life through ecological metanoia and a new lifestyle.  KEYWORDS: relation, antrophosentrism ego, ecological exigent, multidimensional perspective, awareness, reconciliation, repentance and new lifestyle.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The millennial geration are considered to have active characters and to master technical and individual controls. This competency is often not balanced with the individual's ability to care about the problems of national ideology. The ideology in this matter is Pancasila which is still seen as a product of the past, intimidative and even turning into techniques of mass degradation. First, the author raises the thoughts of George Ritzer and Roland Robertson who mentioned that the authenticity of globalization must be firmly grounded in globalization. Second, the writer used Gabriel Marcel's perspective which offers a different approach to the millennial generation that lives in the digital revolution, the presence as a collective action. The intended action is a social action in which individuals are willing to take part through their presence that involves feelings and openness to the issue of nationalism so that Pancasila can be experienced as an ideology that is rich in collective values and habitus. KEYWORDS: ideology, pancasila, the millennial generation, techniques of mass degradation, globalization, glocalization, digital revolution, presence, collective action nationalism, values, habits

Abstract

Abstract: This article entitled "Evaluation of the Music Draft Law" focuses on the substance of the problem set out in the Music Law, and the procedural side of drafting the Draft Law as an alternative policy, namely the process of drafting a policy seen from the parties involved in its formulation (Policies Stakeholders). This policy research is a type of policy formulation evaluation research. The findings of this paper are that the Music Law, specifically related to the process of its formulation, does not involve adequate stakeholders, and the substance of the policy formulation, specifically regarding the rules of the creative process, has limited individual freedom. The drafting of the Music Law lacks proper attention to the boundaries of private space and public space. The author's recommendation is that the Music Law as an alternative public policy discussion should be stopped as an alternative public policy program. KEYWORDS: policy, public, evaluation research, music law. Abstrak:  Artikel yang berjudul “Evaluasi terhadap Rancangan Undang-Undang Permusikan” ini fokus pada substansi masalah yang dituangkan dalam RUU Permusikan, serta sisi prosedural perumusan RUU Permusikan sebagai alternatif kebijakan, yakni proses penyusunan  suatu kebijakan dilihat dari pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam perumusannya (policies stakeholders). Penelitian kebijakan ini merupakan jenis penelitian evaluasi rumusan kebijakan.  Temuan tulisan ini adalah RUU Permusikan, secara khusus terkait proses perumusannya tidak melibatkan stakeholder yang memadai, dan substansi rumusan kebijakan itu, secara khusus tentang aturan proses kreatif terindikasi telah membatasi kebebasan individu. Perumusan RUU Permusikan kurang memerhatikan batasan ruang privat dan ruang publik secara tepat. Rekomendasi penulis adalah RUU Permusikan sebagai alternatif kebijakan publik permusikan harus dihentikan pembahasannya sebagai alternatif kebijakan publik permusikan.  KATA-KATA KUNCI: kebijakan, kebijakan publik, evaluasi kebijakan,  undang-undang permusikan.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article rests on the thesis that economic interest is the implicit end of Indonesian political agents. Economic interest, the implicit end, is the main driving force that cause the deterioration of the quality of Indonesian democracy. Various phenomena that cause the deterioration of the quality of Indonesian democracy will be understood and explained through the political strategies of Niccolo Machiavelli as a conceptual framework. Furthermore, the ideal political perspective from Bernhard Sutor which is sustained by Marx’s idea of basic and superstructure will be used to find the implicit end which moves political agents and influences existing political phenomena. This article concludes with a number of thoughts that remind and prepare Indonesian society, especially the readers, to seriously consider their political choices in April 2019, in order to improve the quality of Indonesian democracy. KEYWORDS: The implicit end, Indonesian democrasy, economic interests, Indonesian politicians, Indonesian political situation, Machiavelli  ABSTRAK:   Artikel ini bertumpu pada tesis bahwa hasrat ekonomi adalah tujuan  implisit agen politik di Indonesia.

Pemikiran Niccolo Machiavelli merupakan bingkai konseptual untuk memahami dan menjelaskan sejumlah fenomena politik yang mempengaruhi penurunan kualitas demokrasi di Indonesia. Selanjutnya perspektif politik ideal dari Bernhard Sutor yang ditopang oleh konsep basis dan superstruktur dari Marx akan digunakan untuk menegaskan tujuan implisit, visi/tujuan politik, yang menggerakkan politisi dan melatarbelakangi fenomena politik tersebut. Artikel ini diakhiri dengan sejumlah pemikiran yang mengingatkan dan mempersiapkan masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya pembaca, untuk mempertimbangkan pilihan politiknya pada April 2019 secara serius, demi peningkatan kualitas demokrasi di Indonesia.

Abstract

Abstract: Globalization has a significant impact on the dynamics of human life. The activities and creativities of individuals in society are facilitated. Everyone's knowledge and relations are increasingly widespread. Humans are becoming increasingly compliant in various dimensions: space and time. The cool breeze brought by modernity refreshes the external needs of personal and communal life. But the cool breeze of modernity inevitably lulls the deepest elements of life. Humans must be treated humanly, experiencing lameness. This dimension is blurred because it is rarely criticized because the society, both globally (world) and locally (Indonesia) is lulled by the pleasures of modernity. In the light of Hans Kung's thought, the perspectives in this discourse affirm the commitment to realize human authenticity in general, in a global context and implementation into the local domain, our Indonesian. The ideas presented in this thesis frame  -more less- a fundamental problem experienced by modern humans and the possibility of anticipation in the future so that the hope of realizing authentic human beings as outward and spiritual in nature, will not lost eroded and carried away by globalization.  keywords:Globalization, Fundamental Demands, Authentication, Commitment, Implementation, Spirit of Pancasila Abstrak: Globalisasi membawa dampak signifikan dalam dinamika hidup manusia. Aktivitas dan kreativitas individu dalam masyarakat dipermudah. Wawasan dan relasi setiap orang semakin meluas. Manusia menjadi semakin kompeten dalam berbagai dimensi: ruang dan waktu. Angin sejuk yang dibawa modernitas menyegarkan kembali kebutuhan-kebutuhan luaran hidup pribadi dan kelompok. Namun sejuknya angin modernitas tak pelak meninabobokan unsur terdalam kehidupan. Manusia harus diperlakukan secara manusia, mengalami kepincangan. Dimensi ini menjadi kabur lantaran jarang dikritisi karena masyarakat, baik secara global (dunia) maupun lokal (Indonesia) terlena oleh nikmatnya tawaran-tawaran modernitas. Dalam terang pemikiran Hans Kung, perspektif-perspektif dalam diskursus ini memberi penegasan pada komitmen mewujudkan otentisasi manusia secara umum dalam konteks global dan implementasi ke ranah lokal, keindonesian kita. Ide-ide yang tersaji di dalam tesis ini membingkai--kurang lebih--apa yang menjadi persoalan fundamental yang dialami manusia-manusia modern dan kemungkinan antisipasi ke depannya sehingga harapan merealisasikan manusia-manusia yang otentik sebagaimana hakikat lahiriah dan spiritual, tidak hilang tergerus dan terbawa arus globalisasi.Kata-kata kunci: Globalisasi, Tuntutan Fundamental, Otentisasi, Komitmen, Implementasi, Semangat Pancasila.

Abstract

Abstract: The civilization of human life is formed as not separated from human relations with the universe. Science has emerged through human relations with the universe. Human culture and tradition are also formed through human relationship with nature. Moreover, human religious imagination is formed through human relations with the universe. Briefly, humans live and develop themselves from and in the universe. In early time, humans interpreted themselves as part of universe and united with the universe that without it humans could not live. Yet, in line with the development of science and human civilization, the human perspective on the universe also changes. The universe tends to be seen as an object which can be exploited for the sake of human needs. Finally, environmental damage that also takes a lot of victims is a consequence of human behavior. The holistic and relational paradigm of the universe as well as philosophical and theological reflections offer to reinterpret the sacredness of the universe with the aim of improving human relations with the universe which tends to be anthropocentric. KEYWORDS: universe, ecology. ABSTRAK: Peradaban hidup manusia terbentuk tidak lepas dari relasi manusia dengan alam semesta. Ilmu pengetahuan bermunculan melalui relasi manusia dengan alam semesta. Kebudayaan dan adat-istiadat manusia juga terbentuk melalui relasinya dengan alam. Bahkan imajinasi religius manusia juga terbentuk melalui relasi manusia dengan alam semesta. Singkatnya, manusia hidup dan mengembangkan diri dari dan di dalam alam semesta. Sejak awal  manusia memaknai dirinya sebagai bagian dari alam semesta dan bersatu dengan alam semesta yang tanpanya manusia tidak bisa hidup. Akan tetapi dengan berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan dan peradaban manusia, cara pandang manusia terhadap alam semesta turut berubah. Alam semesta cenderung dipandang sebagai objek yang dapat begitu saja dieksploitasi demi kebutuhan manusia. Akhirnya kerusakan lingkungan hidup yang juga memakan banyak korban menjadi konsekuensi atas perilaku manusia. Paradigma holistik dan relasional terhadap alam semesta serta refleksi filosofis dan teologis hendak memberikan tawaran untuk kembali memaknai sakralitas alam semesta dengan tujuan memperbaiki relasi manusia dengan alam semesta yang cenderung bersifat antroposentris. Kata-kata Kunci: alam semesta, lingkungan hidup, eksploitasi, dominasi, paradigma holistik, refleksi filosofis, refleksi teologis, etika ekosentris.

Abstract:  This article entitled "Politics of Identity in the New Order Era in Indonesia Entering the Age of Reformation" discussed the development of relations between Christians and Muslims due to political policies during the New Order government which had an impact after the government ended. In this paper, first presented an outline of the history of the New Order government and then continued with a discussion of religious political policies during the administration. The discussions were directed at several events that took place at the beginning of the Reformation era and finally the impact of identity politics carried out by the government. In this paper it was found that although every major event that took place in this nation did not have a relationship with the two religions at that time, but with religious nuances at the end of the New Order government between the two religions namely Christianity and Islam in some regions, identity politics happened in the government.  Keywords: New Order, Christianity, Islam, reform. Abstrak: Artikel yang berjudul “Politik Identitas Era Orde Baru di Indonesia Memasuki Era Reformasi” membahas mengenai perkembangan relasi di antara umat Kristen dan Islam akibat kebijakan-kebijakan politik di masa pemerintahan Orde Baru yang berdampak setelah pemerintahan tersebut berakhir. Dalam tulisan ini, pertama disajikan garis besar sejarah pemerintahan Orde Baru dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pembahasan mengenai kebijakan politik agama pada masa pemerintahan tersebut. Pembahasan fokus pada beberapa peristiwa yang terjadi di awal era Refomasi serta dampak politik identitas yang dilakukan oleh pemerintahan tersebut. Dalam tulisan ini ditemukan bahwa walaupun setiap peristiwa-peristiwa besar yang terjadi di bangsa ini tidak memiliki hubungan dengan kedua agama pada masa itu, namun dengan adanya konflik bernuansa agama di akhir pemerintahan Orde Baru di antara dua agama yaitu Kristen dan Islam di beberapa daerah menunjukkan bahwa terdapat relasi terjadinya politik identitas pada awal Reformasi dengan politik identitas yang dimainkan pemerintahan Orde Baru.KATA-KATA KUNCI: Orde Baru, Kristen, Islam, reformasi.

Abstract

On November 7, 2017, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, decision number 97/PUU-XIV/2016, finally granted an accusation against several points of the Demography Administration Law. If not properly addressed, the decision will erode the number of members of the ethnic churches in Indonesia. The decision will be a driving force for them to reformulate their identities as believers and not Christians. Two historical backgrounds that made excesses of the decision namely the excesses of the G30S/PKI 1965 events that caused a large number of local believers to become Christians and the European nation's missionary legacy that was less friendly to Indonesian local cultures. To address this, I propose an alternative reading of the Bible that is friendlier to local beliefs - namely Cross-textual Hermeneutics. I will use the Protestant Batak Karo Church (GBKP) as a case study.  Keywords: Hermeneutics, mission, identity, Karo, cultural-belief, Cross-textual Hermeneutics.

Abstract

Salah satu ancaman serius dalam peradaban millennium ketiga ini adalah kecenderungan agama-agama yang hanya berorientasi pada paradigma rumusan-rumusan doktrinal konseptual yang sempit. Ironisnya, agama-agama yang harusnya menyebarkan perdamaian justru menjadi potensi sumber konflik. Situasi tersebut memunculkan keterpisahan antara manusia dengan manusia lainnya bahkan dengan yang ilahi. Akan tetapi evolusi peradaban masih menyadari ada banyak hal yang penting dalam tradisi spiritual agama-agama untuk membangun peradaban. Di sini agama-agama perlu meredefinisikan kembali eksistensinya dalam peradaban, memperluas horizon paradigma model religius-spiritualitas dalam konteks yang beragam dan berorientasi pada pertumbuhan kesadaran akan kesatuan realitas yang universal saling terkait satu sama lain.

Abstract

This paper wants to rethink the political attitudes and views of the churches at the time of the last democratic party. the aims also to reflect them broadly and enrich their discussion with the study of literature. There are practical political concerns carried out by the churches as institutions that consciously and systematically become partisans, as well as the ambivalence in the attitude of the leaders of the local churches when facing the five-year presidential election. By actively campaigning for covertness in the middle of the church even on the pulpit of the church. There is a dilemma in the behavior of church members about the relationship between faith and politics, there is less undestandeing of the apolitical attitude of the church that separates religion and the State. The unity of political movements in the "false" coalition to win certain candidates of presidential election contestation.
