Abstract

Renouncing the reality of plurality and multiculturality can provoke religious violence and social conflicts. The emergence of violence might have been one of the consequences of the deteriorating role of education, particularly the religious education, in the society. As part of the national education system in Indonesia, religious education bears on its shoulders the responsibility to propagate the values of plurality and multiculturality. It also disseminates other related values such as inclusiveness and tolerance, which are of paramount significance in building a society characterised by peace, harmony, solidarity, and respect to people of different cultures and religions. It is therefore an important role of Islamic Religious Education and Catholic Religious Education in Indonesia to cultivate ways of thinking that support plurality and multiculturality. This article analyses degrees of integration of plurality and multiculturality understanding in the 2013 curricula of Islamic Religious Education and Catholic Religious Education in high schools. The students’ better understanding of plurality and multiculturality can help them promote the above mentioned values as part of God-given reality in the society.

Abstract

Fake news spreads quickly and changes situations in the society. It has become a sort of linguistic violence circulating negative ideologies and perspectives that slowly destroy people both mentally and physically. The growing tendency of circulating fake news raises a serious problem in the society and moreover among Christians, for important human values, including religious values, are disregarded. Christian understanding of human beings as created in the image of God implies that they have the capacity to use good words to build a sacred society, that is, a society blessed by God. However, the tendency to retrieve and to disseminate information too quickly occurs almost automatically in this age of information, which ironically threatens every good intention of the self in building a trusting community. This article explores the elements of Christian communication based on the Church teachings on the subject matter, in order to counter the tendency of desacralisation of the self on social media and to promote truthful as well as deliberating communication in the society.

Abstract

Tracing the history of philosophical thoughts in Indonesia might lead to the fact that they build up from the daily experiences of Indonesian people. Philosophical thoughts are born of real situations lived by the people responding to the challenges in their lives. In the effort of tracing the history, one may find the courageous leaders of colonial era and the thinkers emerging after the colonial era who speak against the suppression of humanity in any form, whether in the context of politics, religion, culture, or economy. Indonesian thinkers are people who are fearless and devoting their lives to humanity. This may remind one of the classic slogan sapere aude (dare to think for themselves). In this article, the author correlates experiences, theories, and possibilities towards the future concerning the emergence of philosophical thoughts in Indonesia from a hermeneutical viewpoint. This article walks through the course of outlining an understanding of philosophy, applying hermeneutics to correlate the philocophical outline with the thoughts of Indonesian thinkers, and showing new perspective in seeing the dynamics of philosophical thoughts in Indonesia.

Abstract

Generally, listening to music is a fun activity to almost everyone. Furthermore, music can be used as an entertainment and a means of expressing the self. Music can be found everywhere easily, whether in private or in public places, and it has become part of human life. In this article, the author explores the power of music through its particular elements in relation to human character education. In other words, music is considered to have influences in shaping the character of the self, albeit in daily experiences music is often seen as merely entertainment. The elements of music, which includes melody, rhythm, harmony, beat, dynamics, timbre, and lyrics, are correlated to the effects each may bring towards the listeners. In this approach, music is considered to have a transformative role in shaping and orienting the character of the listener, since the person is not merely focused on the thinking mind, but to the sensitivity of the self perceiving the sound of music.

Abstract

This article presents the thoughts of Michel Foucault, a cultural historian, philosopher, and intellectual, who brilliantly analyses the historical events of the past as creative criticisms for shaping human attitudes today. Through this historical analysis, Foucault examines the ways in which subjects were formed from classical times to the present. Foucault sees how this process takes a long time, starting from the subject as formed through various discourses to the subject as forming itself. To arrive at the latter, Foucault brings his readers to the classical Greco-Roman era to see how humans live their freedom and responsibilities. He also shows them various practices of the self through meditation and inner examination, as well as the practice of telling the truth (parrhesia) to oneself and to others. All this in the era was known as ethics and also seen as a practice of freedom. For Foucault, life must always be seen as a work of art that requires the attention of the artist from time to time in order to arrive at an art level considered useful and valuable to many people. Foucault calls this an aesthetic of existence, where life is not merely seen as something given, but also that must always be fought for creatively from day to day. Life must be seen as an unstable condition in which there are always cracks, therefore it has to be fixed from time to time. This is what Foucault calls a model of human existence.
