Publisher : Parahyangan Catholic University

Focus of this paper is to find the face of the relationship between ‘I dan Others (Liyan)’ in Lejong culture of Manggaraian society. The methodology which we use is a critical reading of the rites contained in Lejong culture using the concept ‘framework I’ by Armada Riyanto, Indonesian philosopher. This study found that, ‘framework I’ make possible the relationality between I and Others (Liyan). The relationship between I and Onthers (Liyan) in Lejong formed by equality principle. The equality of I and Others (Liyan) in Lejong shown by placing the others as ite and toe ata bana. It means that the other is he who is respected, recognized and valued as being as dignified as ‘I’. The recognition of this equal dignity shown by the rites used to welcome guests, namely reis, raes and raos. The existing rites present various faces of equal relations that exist be- tween I and Others (Liyan) in Lejong, namely intersubjective relations, mutually enrich- ing relations, relations based on openness and relationships that promote love.

The problem that has yet to find a boundary for resolution in Indonesia is how to reconcile religious pluralism. This paper focuses on the problems of religion which are often destructive, reductive and asymmetrical. Religious hegemony that dominates the public sphere is more aggressive, confrontational and egocentric than altruistic and cooperative. The tendency of religious actors to affirm their own religion better than others has triggered the emergence of various kinds of conflict. The face of religion seems to undermine Pancasila as the spirit and breath of the Indonesian people. Start- ing from this problem, the method used in this paper is the literature method. With this method the author grapples with a wealth of knowledge to restore religious life. So, as the findings of this paper, the writer presents a new paradigm that the Indonesian nation needs to be purified and restored. The Indonesian nation must receive the sacrament of reconciliation and this must become a collective consciousness of the Indonesian people. Reconciliation means being able to open oneself to forgive others and create conducive and harmonious spaces for togetherness.

Penghormatan Ze Hai Zhen Ren - Dewa Tionghoa Di Tekhai Bio: 澤海真人崇拜-澤海廟的印華神 Ardian Cangianto; C. Dewi Hartati

The events of 1740 in Batavia brought the Chinese community into a new phase. One of the new chapters that has never been studied is the birth of local gods who are worshiped in various temples. The gods were none other than the Chinese folk he- roes who fought against the Dutch colonialism. Among them are Yiyong gong (義勇公) which is worshiped in the city of Lasem and Zehai zhenren (澤海真人) in various cities in Central Java, such as in the cities of Tegal, Semarang and Pekalongan. The cult of Zehai zenren is wider than the cult of Yiyonggong, even in some circles the Javanese community also respects the figure of Zehai zenren. Zehai zenren can be respected among the Javanese people, especially those who become fishermen because they believe that Zehai zenren is the ‘god’ protecting sailors and traders. In addition to its distribution in Central Java, it turned out that based on field research, it was found that there were Chinese people living in the West Java area who worshiped Zehai zenren as their patron god. That there are local Chinese heroes who can be worshiped whose distribution is wider than the local Chinese Indonesian gods deserves to be investigated. It should also be noted that Zehai zhenren's ‘bodyguards’ are Javanese. Belief in Zehai zhenren that transcends ethnic boundaries can occur because of the closeness of the belief system of the people of Central Java or known as Kejawen with the Chinese belief system. His beliefs are inclusive, build harmony and respect for people who are worthy of respect.

Menyoal Efektifitas Kuliah Daring: Analisis Filosofis atas Dinamika Kuliah Daring Selama Pandemi Covid-19 dalam Terang Pemikiran Jean-Jacques Rousseau Kristoforus Garnodin; Sebastianus Hagoldin

The focal point of the discussion of this research is the relevance of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s thoughts to online lectures. The basic concept of education according to Rous- seau lies in forming free, independent human beings without pressure or bondage, not for a particular purpose. In other words, freedom is the basic law of education. The covid-19 pandemic has forced lectures to be conducted online. The change in the lecture system from face-to-face to a new system, namely online, has become a reality that is not easy to implement. There are many challenges that occur both from the educational institutions, teaching staff, and students. This happens because lecturers and students themselves do not have a balanced ability to provide or receive lecture material online. The method used in this paper is to analyze the thoughts of the characters in the context of online lectures. This study found that the dynamics of lectures that occurred during the covid-19 pandemic did not work effectively. The teaching staff has not been able to fully provide lecture mate- rial to the maximum and students also cannot absorb the material optimally.

Merajut Kembali Relasionallitas Masyarakat dan Pemerintah: Relevansi Politik Berasaskan Rekonsiliasi dan Kebenaran Martin C. Barut; Pius Kanelmut; Krispianus W. Sarhe

The center of the study of this paper is to explore and understand Armada Riyanto’s ideas about reconciliation and truth. The ongoing political and security dynamics generate new and rich awareness and meaning in the pursuit of peace. The methodology used in this paper is ‘phenomenology’, that is, everyday phenomena become the main source of philosophy. By looking at the political reality from marginal notes, from phenomenological experience, this research comes to the finding that the political concept based on reconciliation and truth is a relevant political program to seek peace. Reconciliation cannot be carried out without revealing the truth and a truth will have a deep meaning in the act of reconciliation. The government and society have a responsibility to cultivate the virtue of peace. The synergy between the government and the community determines the progress of the life of the nation and state.

Kritik Metafisik Terhadap Kesemertaan Pemahaman atas yang Fisik Simson Ericson Simanjuntak; Norbertus Rio Chandra

Science, technology, that now tends to be materialistic, offers humans how to get a truth. It is ironic that such science, tends to reduce other factors that already exist in the world of human understanding. As a result, with all its ambitions, science tries to con- vince humans that some of its fundamental beliefs are a deception. But in fact science, technology has limitations in explaining the truth. This limitation is often closed tightly with opinions so that humans lead to dryness of understanding. There is an effort, more useful to view life or other basic understanding is more lively.
