Abstract

The death penalty is not an act of self-defense against an immediate threat to life. It is the premeditated killing of a prisoner who could be dealt with equally well by less harsh means.  There can never be a justification for torture or for cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment. The cruelty of the death penalty is evident. Like torture, an execution constitutes an extreme physical and mental assault on a person already rendered helpless by government authorities. The most common justification offered is that, terrible as it is, the death penalty is necessary: it may be necessary only temporarily, but, it is argued, only the death penalty can meet a particular need of society. And whatever that need may be, it is claimed to be so great that it justifies the cruel punishment of death. The death penalty, as a violation of fundamental human rights, would be wrong even if it could be shown that it uniquely met a vital social need. What makes the use of the death penalty even more indefensible and the case for its abolition even more compelling is that it has never been shown to have any special power to meet any genuine social need.

Abstract

Every encounter with a work of art has the potential to give birth to the aesthetic experience. The depth of the experience and its transformative effect is different on each person. However, as an experience, its existence is not in doubt. The problem lies on whether an aesthetic experience is something purely subjective or objective. If the aesthetic experience is objective, to what extent can it be accounted for? Could an aesthetic experience encourage certain ethical action? In this paper the author argues that an aesthetic experience is always moving between the directions of a pendulum, namely, when the artwork appeared to the awareness of the subject and when the experiencing subject narrated the experience. The author wants to defend one of the main positions in aesthetics which says that not only the aesthetic experience encourages a particular moral action, the artwork itself might often stand as a medium of a moral struggle for the betterment of the people.

Abstract

Human forgets, but at the same time longs for one of the basic hopes that might disclose the web of meanings within the world of human existence. One might start asking about one’s fundamental reasons to exist, and one of them is to use language. Still, language is understood and used in multifaceted ways. In these miscellaneous interpretations of language, one that is quite seldom to explore is human language to express humour. Humour entails laugh and joy, and these bring forth nothing less than happiness that seem to have been eternally carved in the history of humankind. Reflecting on this aspect of language, this article wants to explore the human as homo ridens, a laughing being, which foreseeably brings forward his/her dimensions as a playful being, a social being, and a spiritual being. The author tries to show the relevance of a laughing human with the struggle of every individual to be a more authentic, social, and faithful person.

Abstract

Environmental crisis is rooted in a fundamental mistake of philosophical understanding or worldview (weltanschauung) on human nature, nature, and human’s place in the overall ecosystem. The solution cannot be approached only technically and partialy, but instead, in a more comprehensive-holistic way by radically changing the perspective and the nature of  human behaviour, which means, they are to be tuned in to the environmental ethics. Accordingly, human behaviour is to be conceived of and conducted in line with eco-philosophy. Its political praxis is to be implemented by way of politics of law (rechtspolitiek), politics of environmental law in particular. The politics of environmental law is the policy direction to be set by the government so as to achieve the goals and objectives in the protection and the management of the environment. This, in turn, can only be implemented if the constitution as well as the legislation is already ‘green’.

Abstract

By referring to the variety of cultures that have emerged and flourished in Indonesia, the author wants to figure the depth of ‘belief’ in God in relation to the respective cultural and spiritual expressions and through the rituals performed by the people of this belief (kepercayaan). Because of the influence of ‘Western’ beliefs brought into Indonesia by the colonialists in the past, the life of the people believing in God from within their own local beliefs together with the diversity of their cultures and spiritualities seem to have been marginalised. What is needed is a sort of new paradigm to view and value the local beliefs in the face of the so-called ‘official religions’ in Indonesia. This greater appreciation to the people of the local beliefs is in the line with the growing awareness of plurality of societies in this land. Efforts to recognise and understand the essence and values in the system of the local belief are of great importance. The author tries to explore how the doctrines of the belief Sunda Wiwitan develop by starting to browse the historical aspect of Manusia Sunda (‘Sundanese human being’) within its religious context and the other related elements in this system of belief. What is most important for the adherents of Sunda Wiwitan is not so much the frequence of praying to or worshiping God as the effort of every individual to maintain the attitude and deeds as a human being that keep the harmony of relation with the other human beings, the surrounding nature with all its contents, and God.
