This article presents Foucault’s ambitious thoughts on various historical events in the past and sees how people faced and reacted to all these events in different eras of thinking, ways of life, cultures and historical settings. He works with past events, yet his objective is to constitute a history of the present. His rich analyses in his works are classified in three main axes, namely the axis of knowledge, of power, and of ethics or subject. The author of this article also presents Foucault’s notion on power as practiced throughout the history of systems of thought, and how this way of thinking can be read into in any political power, or how Foucault’s thinking can be seen as a criticism on various repressive powers practiced everywhere, including in Indonesia.

This article shows that what Foucault understands as genealogy is in many ways still in line with Nietzsche, that in terms of the basic concept of genealogy, using history, reveals the Herkunft – the origin of values that will dismantle the assumption of finality. Morality is born in the midst of a chaotic situation that forces individuals to make decisions and in the experience of a fragmented and unstable body. While through Entstethung one can see how the dominations that play behind any value are considered noble, the noble value is not in the hands of an independent subject. But there are also differences, since Foucault calls for the death of the subject, while Nietzsche is not up to that extreme. Another point of difference is that Foucault’s genealogy is practiced in a strict study discipline, wrestling with historical documents and writing down the detailed facts, while Nietzsche does not. The author argues that through Foucault’s thought, one might find a new meaning of the subject, that the subject is not an autonomous entity, but merely a production of power. The appearance of the subject is considered as a result of domination-relationships. In other words, these are the result of a disciplining effort.

In business activities, there is a known type of agreement termed as “standard agreement”. This standard agreement is an agreement which is made by only one of the parties involved, and the counterparty is not in the position to bargain with regards to the content of the agreement. The counterparty solely accepts the predetermined terms and conditions in such agreement. Here this kind of agreement indicates that there is inequality of positions between the parties, which is contrary to the principle that “all human beings are equal”, the fundamental principle as the source of human rights. Human rights are carried by each person since birth, and such basic rights are equally owned and must be respected by others. However, in business contexts, efectivity and efficiency are highly considered in running the businesses, and human rights tend to be ignored whether undeliberately or deliberately. This article finds it imperative to analyse the standard agreement in Indonesia in the light of civil law and human rights law. The resulting contracts should contain the distribution of rights and obligations between the parties involved. And to produce a proper contract, business executives are the first to get a complete understanding of how to make their business in accordance with human rights.

There is a somewhat symbiotic relationship between religion and culture: religious practices shape, and are shaped by the culture within which they thrive. When people in a given culture adopt a specifc religion,their culture begins to assimilate only the ethos and practices that are acceptable within that religion; and when a particular religion arises within a given culture, its ethics and rituals are usually grounded on the tenets of that culture. Thus, having strong roots in patriarchal and androcentric cultures, Abrahamic religions cannot shy away from the encumbrances of flawed gender relationships. With the help of feminist studies, we have unearthed the insidious force of gender in the assignment of roles ‘skewed’ to favour men over women not only in politics and commerce but also in religious and social lives. The idea is not to take a knock at the spiritual values represented by these bodies, but to highlight the underlying influence of gender on the various ethics and practices of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Theology with ‘freedom’ paradigm understands grace not as a third matter between God and humans. The nature of grace is God and God’s actions in relationship with and insofar as humans experience them. With regard to the attempts to understand the relation between grace and the sacraments, an integrated description of the sacrament as a representative and real symbol could be formulated. God is present in the sacraments through the particular symbols and when God is present, God is therefore realising humans’ salvation through the real symbols. In a sacramental celebration, with all the complexities of its forms and activities, the faithful experience how God is exceptionally present (in representative symbols) and when God is present salvation is realised or embodied (in real symbols). This is an explanation of how grace is conveyed through the celebration of the sacraments.
