Abstract

When moving from one place to another, people encounter a variety of things and persons. They encounter physical things, meet other people, and interact with them in a way that might be sensed as ‘divine’. The meanings emerging through human interactions in life appear when there is a presence of other human beings in the surrounding. Humans realise their meaningfulness within themselves when others find the same thing as well, that is, in realising the presence. Life turns into a meaningful experience when human beings treat their neighbours as a human being, and not as an object that does not react or respond when encountered. Regarding the others as a representation of our own relatedness with the divine may enable us respect human life, more than we value ourselves, for we realise that our relationship with fellow human beings is not the same as with objects around us. Our relation with the divine is situated in connectedness with other people so as to experience the beauty in relation. The divine needs humans not because he is weak, but because he has the desire to save and to make human’s life meaningful.

Abstract

Axel Honneth gives a new direction for Critical Theory from Frankfrut School. He points out that the theoretical foundation of intersubjective relationship is not merely based on the dimensions of human communication as indicated by Habermas, but also on the recognition dimension. He proposes a shift of normative paradigm from the presuppositions of communicative action to the presuppositions of human identity development. This article summarises some of the main ideas of the critical theory of Honneth. It will describe the theoretical direction taken by Honneth that distinguishes it from Habermas, who later helped to find the problem arresting people into various forms of injustice, a pathology that occurs on the level of rationality, which will be described in the second part of this article. The third part will describe Honneth’s thought about recognition as a moral grammar, followed by a review of the three areas of recognition as a practical basis of critical theory. Some conclusions will be drawn concerning the importance of the small dimensions of recognition in contemporary society.

Abstract

Comic dimension, on the one hand, is a human condition. It is a basic precondition for a human being called to be humanum, to be authentic, complete and true human being. ‘Comic’ (laughter) can be seen as a cultural product that has become nurtural. On the other hand, essentially comic or laughter is innate by origin. The nature of human can be conceived as a mammal that is able of distinguishing itself from other mammals. Thus human as mangel wesen (incomplete and weak being) by laughter has a capacity to transcend herself or himself, her or his body and whole life. It might even further to be said that that comic dimension has a capability to save humankind. In a mystical sense, when we laugh, we live through our most fundamental life. Laughter makes life more alive. Laughter becomes a sacred moment, for it is a blending event of the human with the divine, and in turn it brings back men and women to their original nature as a human being.

Abstract

John Dewey never publishes a special work on theory of democracy. Nevertheless, his concern with democracy is undoubted. What is his main thought of democracy? This article is a textual analysis of the idea of democracy spread on his various works. As an experimentalist, his thought on democracy is to respond social problems. He views that two fundamental problems of democracy in his era are a tendency of reducing the meaning of democracy and social movements using violence in the name of political democracy. Dewey does not only look for the solution of the problems of democracy, but also put democracy in living process. The idea of liberty, equality and fraternity, as the democratic trinity, is ethical ideal of humanity. As an ethical idea, it should inspire each person in developing society for a better life. For this reason, he underlines the important of actualizing democracy through education.

Abstract

Education is a wide terminology describing among others the transformative and liberatif activities of human being. One of the major aims of an education programme is to make a more balanced growth of a person’s characters, covering the intellectual, spiritual, social, emotional, and physical dimensions. In the light of Ki Hadjar Dewantara, the founder of Tamansiswa educational institution, one might say that education is an effort to advance the good characters (the inner strength and characters), the mind, and the body. For him, education is an effort to liberate the physical and spiritual aspects of a human being. Thus every activity in an education institution should be a process of humanisation that goes holistically, that is, physical, mental, spiritual, individual, sosial, cultural, dan natural growths. In line with this, a well educated person who has good characters may respect other people’s rights and could develop ecological concern. This article aims to explore how far education institutions can respond within the range of Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s concept of education to the globalization issues affecting our society today.
