Food has been one of the most important foundations of human history. Food functions as a statement of the self, a classification system, a way of social interaction, and even a cultural identity that it can be interpreted holistically. Food has been one of the most important elements that shape life and the history of human civilization. It demonstrates a kind of culture that signifies the dynamic of humanity from one era to the other. The expansion of food industry has brought a great impact on the revolution of social interaction model. However, a reduction of the food value is happening nowadays throughout the food culture, seeing it as simply as nutrition and economical commodity. Hedonism triggers the view of food as a tool to conquer the human desire, which actually never ceased even after being satisfied. A sort of ‘McDonaldization’ system is considered as a grand system of living that might have significantly changed many aspects of human life in this globalisation era. The Branded Life propaganda of the food industry seems to mislead people to continue their luxurious life. The fragmentation of human’s views on food becomes one of its consequences and in turn changes human’s respect of food within its holistic picture. The discussion now covers the social and spiritual dimensions. Today, the fragmented views of food have turned into a threat to humanity, but also a great opportunity, notwithstanding uncomfortable, to highlight the missing aspects of food in the midst of contemporary culture.

Martin Heidegger mengenai Mengada secara Otentik dan Relevansinya bagi Pelayanan Kesehatan Jena, Yeremias

Human existence is perceived by Martin Heidegger as Dasein, that being-in-the-world. The modes of existence of Dasein in the world are Being-with-the-other (Mitsein), Being-alongside-things (Sein-bei), and Being-one’s-self (Selbstein). For Heidegger, the ideal mode of existence of Dasein is Being-one’s-self (Selbstein). Only through this mode of being that Dasein forms its distinctiveness from other entities which are just being-within-the-world. As to the convenience of enjoying the objects of the world, idle talk or gossipping can cause Dasein to forget its authentic being. After describing the thoughts of Heidegger on the fall of Dasein into being unauthentic, this paper highlights the ontological awareness of the existence of Dasein towards death as an authentic mode of existence. At the end of this writing, I propose narration as a ‘tool’ to be used by health care providers in assisting the patient to affirm and accept illness experience as their modes of being.

Nietzsche’s early work that gives wide exploration of the idea of truth is his unpublished essay entitled Wahrheit und Lüge in Ausermoralischen Sinne (1872). His controversial statement in this essay was “Truths are illusions”, opening many interpretations among scholars in understanding his position on truth. Sarah Kofman argues that it is useless to speak about truth in Nietzsche’s philosophy, for values are neither true nor false. Referring values to truth means forgetting to place oneself “beyond good and evil.” Unlike Kofman, Maudemarie Clark separates sharply Nietzsche’s critique of metaphysics and his denial of truth. Clark argues that Nietzsche rejects metaphysics and eventually overcomes it in his own work, but also that he ultimately affirms the existence of truths and therefore does not undermine his own theory when he claims truth for his own position. Clark’s strategy in defending her theses tries to explain that there is a turning (Kehre) in Nietzsche’s position. This article wants to offer an interpretation that Nietzsche does not make a new theory of truth in WL, but rather examines and constates truths that hold true. With his subtile and metaphoric style, Nietzsche might want to vivify the symbolic and figurative elements in language before the truth or reality that already escapes languages.

Membaca Ulang 'Waiting for Godot' dengan Hermeneutika Paul Ricoeur Pranowo, Yogie

This paper presents an attempt of a philosophical exploration using Paul Ricoeur’s theory of text interpretation on Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. When viewed in a glance, Waiting for Godot does not appear much as a conceptual drama. It talks about so many things, ranging from things that sound trivial to things that smell theological. However, if one delves deeper through different interpretation, this drama is indeed intricate enough to provoke fresh insights. Its complexity is reinterpreted here insofar this drama is imagined within the genre of absurd drama. According to Ricoeur, one of the goals of interpretation is not only to understand the mind of the author behind the text, but the text itself with its circulating meanings around its interpretation, that is, within its interpretative world. The text gives rise to things for the understanding of the reader or interpreter. In the light of Ricoeur’s hermeneutics, this article attempts to reread some of the depths of Waiting for Godot. It is not so much of interpreting the intention of Samuel Beckett in writing the text as searching for different meanings in some parts of the dialogues in the text by way of engaging in its eventful discourse.

Gagasan Allah Kristianitas dalam Modernisme, Postmodernisme, dan 'Illative Sense' John Henry Newman Situmorang, Riston

Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

Modern worldview tends to explore everything, including the idea of God, grounded on reason and rational evidences. Postmodernism on the other hand tends to consider that the basic of epistemology of modernism fails to explain the experience and the existence of God, because modernism relies too much on the cognitive and empiric powers. John Henry Newman might be viewed as a constructive postmodernist for he chooses a different power for judging the truth about the concept and experience of God. Newman appears not to think in ‘either-or’ way like in the rationalism and empiricism worldview, but attempts to fuse and bridge the ways of thinking using ‘both-and’. He suggests that this power, i.e., the illative sense, is a faculty that help the believers judge the truth in comprehending the existence of God. With illative sense, people may decide and make spontaneous inferences on concrete issues naturally. In this line, postmodernism might be seen not as a threat or enemy, but companion to religion, for the postmodern epistemology tends to be sensorial, intuitive, and experiential. Illative sense, as a power that each believer has, is converging the particularities towards the existence of God in the context of religious epistemology.
