Abstract

Han Feizi is a Chinese thinker who lived in the 3rd century BCEand had the opportunity to inspire the Emperor Qin Shi Huangdiwho is acknowledged as the founder of the Empire of China.Taking the path of his realist Confucian teacher Xunzi (contrary toMengzi who was an idealist Confucian), he believed in the evilcharacter of the human being, as basically everyone only prioritizesits own needs. Therefore Han Feizi deems it most important thatthe ruler establishes order and peace in society. As such Han Feiziteaches a political theory that differs from the mainstream of theother classical Chinese thinkers in general who consider socialethics as most significant. To establish harmony in society, he findsstrict laws, shrewd statecraft and clear authority more decisive thanthe personal moral virtues of the ruler as taught by Confucius. Inorder to govern effectively and efficiently, the ruler should employthe “two handles” of governing by punishing law breakers andrewarding law abiders proportionally vis-à-vis all his subjects. Itwas indeed that kind of governance that was pursued by MaoZedong while dealing with the officials of the Communist Party ofChina, resembling that what the Government of China did to dealwith civil unrest in Tibet in the 1950s and 2008, and now in Urumqias well.

Abstract

One who learns and reads Western Philosophy is familiar with theDecartes' proposition 'cogito ergo sum'. This proposition becomesontological and epistemological reason of our existence.Nevertheless, one can also explore another reason of existence, notonly this Cartesian proposition considered the universal. A nuanceof affirmation implied within a local tradition of wisdom can be theother ontological and epistemological reason. Therefore, anexploration the nuance of affirmation in Asian tradition of wisdomis necessarily discovered this alternative reason of existence (1).One can discover such alternative reason from a local worldviewand philosophical narration in a local tradition of wisdom (2). Thisarticle observes the worldview and philosophical narration ofSundanese people. The observation offers a further interpretationto the Sundanese worldview and philosophical narration. Thepurpose of this interpretation is to formulate the nuance ofaffirmation as it is implied in the local system of knowledge. Aprinciple of affirmation is derived from the interpretation of thesystem of knowledge (3). The interpretation also becomes a furtherinvitation to explore and to find out an intercultural understandingand dialogues of various systems of knowledge (4).

Abstract

Creativity moves from the exclusive domain of the designer intothe space between disciplines and between producer andconsumer. A new form of design is needed, i.e. relational design.Relational design has to focus on relationships and responsibilitiesinstead of a focus on the individual. Relational design gives us thenthe opportunity to go beyond hyperconsumerism andindividualism.

Abstract

Globalization brings about not only amazing changes but threateningleakages and ruptures to the local cultures. The flush of virtualization mayhave blurred the borders founded by the cultures and in turn confused theviews of cultural identities. The identity of 'being Indonesia'(“keindonesiaan”) is in the middle of a crisis. All the processes ofglobalisation, streams of information through the media andpostmodernity have brought great impacts on this identity. This crisis isworsened by the cultural leakages and ruptures in the whole building of theculture. There are chances of mix, amalgamation and hybridisation.Multidimensional rupture brings in external influences that should beresolved by strengthening the substance of local identity. Some localcultural principles seem to have been defoundationalised. Trans-culturalphenomena appear simultaneously with the rise of hybrid identities andways of life. All this can end up in a cultural schizophrenic showing itself inthe fluidity of identity that doesn't care about the cultural foundationsanymore.
