Diskursus Mengenai Keadilan Sosial: Kajian Teori Keadilan dalam Liberalisme Locke, Persamaan Marx, dan 'Justice as Fairness' Rawls Alwino, Alfensius
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 32 No. 3 (2016)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

Through the history of philosophy, the theme of justice has become a very important topic. Thinkers of the theories such as utilitarianism, intuitionism, eudaimonism, perfectionism, liberalism, communitarianism, and socialism have discussed the theme. As French philosopher Alain Badiou has pointed out, the central of political studies from the time of Plato to the present day is justice. The question is what is justice? For John Rawls, justice is the supreme virtue of human. In A Theory of Justice, Rawls asserts that justice is the first priority in social institutions, as is truth in the system of thought. A theory, however elegant and economical, must be rejected or revised if it is not true, so the laws and institutions, however efficient and neat, must be reformed or removed if it is unfair. Rawls criticizes the theory of justice in Lockean liberalism and Marxian socialism. Both theories of justice are very strong colouring the landscape of debate on the roots of thinking about justice. For Rawls, liberalism that accentuates basic freedoms can create inequality between people who have better abilities with less fortunate people. Similarly, socialism which accentuates equality ignores basic freedoms. The two theories of justice are considered ideological in the sense that there are hidden interests behind the jargons of freedom and equality. Rawls then develops an abstract theory of justice, in which the participants depart from a veil of ignorance, so that they are free of any interest and ambition. Here they might build a cooperative contract in a society governed by the principles of justice.

‘Ribet’-nya Hidup Sehari-Hari: Menafsir Hidup Harian sebagai Teks Budaya Bagus Laksana, Albertus
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 29 No. 1 (2013)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

It has been pointed out that modernity is marked by the disenchantment of the world. This means that modern human beings might no longer be easily enchanted by their natural/material and social environments. Their everyday life can thus be dull and boring. Under this condition, this paper inquires whether it is still possible to restore the richness of the everyday life as a cultural text. The author presents some major insights on the everyday from both philosophical approaches and cultural studies. These insights can shed light on the complexity, hibridity and messiness, but also the depth and richness of the everyday understood as a circulation of the affections of the humans. Everything in everyday life has some qualities of a poem, an image or a metaphor, a pleasant melody. Humanity turns to be enchanting because of its mortality, ambiguity and complexity in the everyday. The objects of the everyday do not need a special 'aesthetical appreciation' as the paintings in the museum. These objects must be seen as a place of encounter between the human affections and 'the thingly world' regarded as routine and ordinary. An aesthetic experience can be seen as a dynamism of proximetrics, that is, the intimacies with the material things we encounter in our day-to-day life.

TILLICH’S VIEW ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAPITALISM Rachmat, Agus
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 25 No. 3 (2009)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

Driven by his method of correlation, Paul Tillich critically analyzes the social condition of modern society which is characterized by the growing hegemony of capitalism. Capitalism is viewed not simply as a certain economic arrangement of society but as the embodiment of the religion of reason, namely, the historical project of humanity to realize its utopian goals and longings by the power of science and technology alone. However, by forgetting the awareness of the inherent finitude of reason cultivated by a genuine religious consciousness, mankind is threatened to lose sight of the demonic dimension built-in structurally in the capitalist mode of wealth creation.

Foto Sudah Mati? Pergeseran Paradigma dan Pemaknaan Kebenaran dalam Fotografi Setiawan, F. X. Rudi
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 29 No. 2 (2013)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

Critique of photography came into view from within. The advance of the technology of photography always opens the possibility that a photograph can be manipulated, especially from the time of the invention of digital technology. The implication is that subjectivity and intentionality are interwoven with the photographical processes. Photographical truth in journalism cannot rely on the singular and absolute ‘mechanical’ truth, but on its ‘contextualisation’ that cannot presuppose intersubjective agreements in producing common measures. This paper aims at affirming the position that one can make sense of the objectivity of journalism photography only in the context of intersubjective consensus. The distinctiveness of a photograph compared to other visual and expressive media lies in the process and the procedure of the making. The problem is a photograph does not tell how it is made. The causal relation in the photographical process gives the epistemological status of a photograph. Photography today cannot be understood within the causality framework that is too instrumentalistic and impersonal. Photography becomes more and more intentional, like painting and furthermore text. Major themes like causality, correspondence, accurateness, and objectivity are contested. However, photography is still powerful not only by virtue of its descriptive-explanatory role in imaging the reality in a realistic way, but also on account of its metaphorical aspect. “Photography is dead” only if it is considered as a representation of the reality. Photography will not die if it is seen poetically as our interpretation of reality.

MEMBANGUN PERADABAN YANG LEBIH ADIL Kusumohamidjojo, Budiono

The widespread misperception about identity has apparently led to identity absolutism that is also reflected in the quest for absolute truth. The consequence of this mindset has placed mankind in a “confederation of cultures” (Amartya Sen) that ultimately fails to deliver a peaceful and just coexistence. As if human suffering is yet to be hardened, globalization brought more burden into the drama. We are like destined to watch human civilization split into various conflicting civilizations. As mankind hasreached an unprecedented complex Lebenswelt (EdmundHusserl),we need to develop a kind of global civilization (to reconcile the effects of globalization) that is more just in order for the human race to retain itsexistence and co-existence.Ways and means need to be determined for that purpose, however, argumentative dialogue still seems to be the main avenue to achieve that end. For its own sake Indonesia has the obligationto contribute to the development of a more just global civilization. Such obligation is indeed implied in the Preamble of its 1945 Constitution. Otherwise Indonesians risk to be at the mercy of arbitrary forces of globalization. Nevertheless, Indonesia's capacity to participate at and contribute to the process of developing a more just civilization depends very much on improvement of the qualities of its citizens, which in turn requires adjustment of mindset with the ongoing process. Efforts to adjust our mindset will need the rendering of subjects on social ethics (budi pekerti), world history and global geography starting with the elementary school. Only with reasoning citizens will Indonesia be able to participate in the development of a more just civilization and thereby also improve its ownwell being.

Creativity as the Conceptual and Pragmatic Framing of Mind Amir Piliang, Yasraf
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 27 No. 2 (2011)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

As a philosophical concept, creativity is generally understood as a mental capacity of generating something new that has never existed before: ideas, compositions, arrangements, concepts, systems, forms, styles or products. As a mental capacity, it is widely believed that the end product of creativity is ‘new idea’, as an absolute creation of ‘individual genius’. This general claim about ‘newness’ as a genuine product of creativity obscures the fact that an idea can only be generated based on previous ideas, through a mechanism of ‘repetition’. The disavowal of repetition as an integral part of the concept of creativity leads to certain form of framing, namely a ‘conceptual framing’, through which newness as a relevant concept is celebrated in discourse, while the concept of repetition is concealed as irrelevant. This framing distorts the true meaning of creativity. In addition, there is another form of framing, which is more pragmatic, namely an ‘economic framing’, through which the profit motive of creativity is exposed, whereas social, cultural, educational, and spiritual motives are concealed. Both forms of concealment have fundamentally distorted the true functions, motives and aims of creativity.

Illative Sense John Henry Newman: Relevansi dan Kekuatannya Situmorang, Riston
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 30 No. 2 (2014)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

For John Henry Newman, the illative sense is a faculty owned universally and not particularly by every human being. It is an ability that converges from the various particularities into the one and the same substance, that is, the existence of God. Newman’s illative sense is a way of explaining the sensus fidelium, which is based not simply on the intellect but also on ‘the logic of the heart’. It is a potential to deduce based on the consciousness of the conscience through understanding, judgment, and senses concerning the meaning of a phenomenon. This faculty can assess and conclude in a perfect way, and is beneficial during the process of the mind in deciding naturally whether something is right or wrong within the concrete circumstances. In the light of this idea, Newman’s illative sense is regarded helpful to understand the believers’ way of apprehension in matters of faith, for they might have adopted a particular way of apprehending the objects of faith. This article tries to put the whole idea of illative sense in its relevance to the history and the development of philosophical and theological thoughts.

FUNDAMENTALISM REVISITED : Fundamentalism as a Counter- Culture to Modernity and its Values Purwadi, Y. Slamet
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 24 No. 2 (2008)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

One of the most prominent and haunting cultural phenomenain our times is 'fundamentalism'. Its prominence, complexityand negative impacts render fundamentalism worth revisiting.Beyond its definitions, forms and enigmas, the existence offundamentalism compels us to reflect on some significantaspects of our age. I assume that fundamentalism is not athrowback to a tradition, but that it is in a dialectic relationshipwith modernity. I stress, therefore, the points of convergencebetween fundamentalism and modernity. The overlappingparadigms of fundamentalism and modernity are exploredthrough a socio-cultural and philosophical approach. Throughan elaboration of the function of fundamentalism as a culturalopposition, the paper concludes with a postmodernistapproach toward a new sensibility for 'difference and diversity'.
