Abstract

A cyborg, also known as a cybernetic organism, is a being with both biological and artificial values. Real (as opposed to fictional) cyborgs are more frequently people who use cybernetic technology, like the Brain-Computer Interface, to repair or overcome the physical and mental constraints of their bodies.  The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), sometimes called divert neural interface or Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) is a divert communication pathway between a brain and an external device which aims at assisting, augmenting or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions.  It consists of systems that transform biological signals recorded from neural tissue into electronic signals that control a computer interface.  Once such a control is attained, it can then be translated into a system that can control a machine or a physical device or can even stimulate or activate biological tissues. Its principal goal is to enable people with neural pathways that have been damaged by amputation, trauma or disease to function and control their environment either through the reanimation of paralyzed limbs or control of robotic devices. A typical BCI/BMI consists of various components which include the acquisition, processing and discharge of signals.  All BCIs use either the invasive or non-invasive methods.  In isolated but real cases, chips which have been implanted into human brain have produced signals of high enough quality to stimulate movement. Also, retinal implants have restored vision to people suffering from retinitis pigmentosa and vision loss due to aging.  However, there are strong ethical concerns that the very idea of the interface between humans and machines can potentially alter what it takes to be human. KeyWords:*Brain Computer Interface, *cyborg, *human brain, *ethical concern, *biological capacities, *enhancement, *alteration, *the naturals, *the enhanced, *'normal functioning', *colateral implications, *personal identity, *autonomy

Abstract

The Niger Delta Region in the enclave called Nigeria today has been terribly locked in an endless battle for its Human Rights which also includes the right to development and economic autonomy, with various predatory institutions which have across time, relentlessly sought to command its immense natural wealth and dictate to it the terms and manner of development it must follow. The world conference on Human Rights held in Vienna, Austria recognized the fact that development rights are arguably fundamental and inalienable rights. The recognition of the right to development and the meeting of basic economic and social needs as part of fundamental human rights by the conference marked a turning point in the United Nations recognition of only Civil rights as fundamental human rights.This paper takes a look at the Niger Delta , its problems of human rights to which development rights is a part and contends that the Niger Delta development rights must be promoted and defended at all cost on the basis of proper understanding of the institutionalization of a transparent and genuine democracy. KeyWords:*Niger Delta, *human rights, *development, *resource control, *Nigeria, *fundamental rights, *linternational law

Abstract

Religious justifications might have happened as a result of religion’s too much self confidence, if not of self absolutization that ended up in uncertainty. Perhaps religions need to be aware of Francis Bacon’s warning that “if a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.” Religions need to do what Kant already called as pure critique when saying that reason’s autocritique has its own limitations. Religions need to carry on autocriticism and autoreflection so as not to fall into self absolutization. Instead of justifying itself, religion has to struggle to prove itself meaningful for individuals and communities, for the institution itself and other organizations. In lieu of justifying God, it has to justify humankind and to create the world ‘humanum’. KeyWords:*kebenaran religius, *rasionalisasi, *pembenaran diri religius, *agama, *mekanisme, *justifikasi, *kritik terhadap agama, *autokritik.

Abstract

It has been said that the advance of human reflectivity is a menace to orthodoxy. Some brilliant philosophical ideas have been accused of threatening the teachings of religious institutions. That might be the reason why some thinkers were condemned or even punished by religious institutions. In truth, however, human reflectivity is not always a threat. It, instead, can be a torchlight: it can help reformulate traditional teaching afresh and anew. And this can apply to the thoughts  of Martin Heidegger. His investigation of the meaning of Being can be deployed to help shed new light to the way Christians understand the revelation. Understanding truth as aletheia, that is, Being that is revealing itself continuously, paves the path to understand God who is unceasingly revealing Godself. Revelation takes place at an ontological level. Revelation is something that besieges human inevitably. Human should not simply linger within the humdrum banalities of daily business, but instead, should be courageous to penetrate into their authenticity to hear the real whispers of God. KeyWords:*Watchman State, *das Geviert, *otentisitas, *aletheia, *wahyu, *bahasa, *Sang Ada, *degodization, *Eigentlichkeit, *Interrelatedness, *'YangLain’

Abstract

Historically, the original impulse of capitalism is to be the emancipatory social power to liberate mankind from the fetter of Religious Leviathan reigning in the dogmatic Medieval Era. Ironically, after its historical global triumph, it becomes an Economic Leviathan of its own. The acute sense of structural sin and existential finitude nurtured by religious consciousness should make us aware of the hidden carnivorous dimension working deeply in the capitalist system that creates waste, crisis and destruction due to the cultivation of instant profit and unbridled greed as the moving forces of capitalism. KeyWords:*Watchman State, *Technical Reason, *Planning Reason, *Economic Leviathan, *Fascism, *Communism, *Global Capitalism, *SocialMarket, *Welfare State .

Abstract

Dekonstruksi yang dihadirkan Derrida pada akhirnya mengajak setiap pribadi yang datang dari tradisi religius tertentu untuk merumuskan kembali penghayatan imannya, mencairkan kembali apa yang selama ini mungkin sudah terlalu membeku. Salah satu nya adalah pemahaman kita dengan apa yang disebut iman itu sendiri. Selama ini iman dipahami sebagai kebenaran obyektif yang diwahyukan, yang dipercaya (fides quae) atau penyerahan diri secara pribadi kepada Allah (fides que). Namun, jika tidak berhati-hati, kebenaran – yang objektif – ini bisa menjadi pengetahuan ilmiah-saintifik, kalau saja kita tidak menyadari “ada masalah” pada kata “Allah”. Ketidaksadaran ini lantas sangat berisiko, karena apa yang tadi dianggap sebagai ‘kebenaran’ kita berubah menjadi ‘pembenaran’. Kekerasan, pembunuhan, intoleransi, terorisme, radikalisme yang berasal dari agama adalah karena ketidaksadaran akan hal ini.
