Abstract

Writing, for Nietzsche, is a very personal endeavor. Nietzsche became Nietzsche through the acts of writing, reading what he has written and re-writing. For a decade or so I have struggled with Nietzsche; I read his books, I wrote essays and I taught on Nietzsche. In this essay I try to answer a personal question: what does reading his books and writing and teaching on Nietzsche mean for who I am today? The second question this essay deals with is how my experiences with Nietzsche’s work influence my view of art. Art is in this essay understood in two ways: first and foremost as the art of living, i.e. how to become what one is, and in the final part of the essay in the narrow sense, i.e. the fine arts.

Abstract

Ethics, and its articulation in moral conducts, is not existed in a vacuum, sterile or fixed human world, but a subject of ‘reformulation’ or even ‘redefinition’, as the result of a certain socio-cultural transformation. The development of a global information-digital culture has in a certain intensity affected the perception, understanding and practice of ethics itself as a moral standard. One of the main character of this culture is its ‘artificiality’, through which human communication and interaction is no longer performed on a ‘face-to-face basis, but on a technological mediated one. The consequence is a ‘cultural distanciation’, in which perception is separated from experience, body is separated from message. Another consequence is the ‘transparency’ at an ethical level, in which several ethical boundaries are deconstructed: good/bad, proper/improper. A community ethics is one of today’s ethical problem, in which a ‘commonality’ is no longer constructed based on conventional social bonds, but on more artificial bonds: solitude, rejection, helplessness. Friendship in the digital world is another ‘strange’ development of moral conduct, in which a great numbers of friends is just an affirmation of one’s solitude. As the result, connection—as main pilar in the architecture of our contemporary life—has taken us along a cultural contradiction: it mediates, but at the same time dissociates our cultural experience.

Abstract

Religion has probably been very influencial since the dawn of civilization. The next imperative question would be how something that has always been in the very discourse of human achievement stays in the centre stage for generations to come. To tackle this question, it is important to see what religion actually is related to its ability to manifest the self. The question can even be extended further by examining how the self – central to epistemological inquiries – be justified by the presence of consciousness. Constructing answers to this colossal undertaking of religious identity invites a thorough understanding of how human beings can be taken as conscious. The subsequent agenda is to determine whether consciousness lies within or – on the other way around – outside; whether it is naturally personal or else impersonal. Having dealt with these risky arguments allows us to slightly probe something in the future concerning the debatable fate of being a religious self. Both Mark C. Taylor’ rejuvenated schemata and Yuval Noah Harari’ reinvented algorhytms have provided an extra breathing space that facilitates broader chances for religion to further play a farther role in an even broader horizon of foreseeable possibilities.

Abstract

Information conveyed through the history is not always recorded in writing, but also in various other media. Information about events in the past can be obtained in various ways and in various forms. K.R.T. Purbaningrat, a Kraton Yogyakarta abdidalĕm who lived during the colonial times chose a unique way to 'record' the historical events of his time. As a ‘choreographer’, K.R.T. Purbaningrat used the mystical dance bĕdhaya as a medium to record and pass on information. Sindhenan in bĕdhaya was used as well to reveal the important events surrounding the king and his kingdom. This paper wants to suggest an interpretation of a cultural dance used to record historical events. It also brings forward a challenge for contemporary history science in the discovery and interpretation of historical information sources other than writings.Keywords:informasi sejarah l K.R.T.

Abstract

To clearly grasp the importance of science, we need to startacknowledging the value of knowledge as constituted by twocriteria: its utility and its reliability. However, there are questionsconcerning the interpretation of both notions. Fortunately, theproblem is solvable. The meaning of utility becomes clear whenwe distinguish between two possible forms of utility: expected andachieved utilities. The meaning of reliability becomes clear whenwe recognize which form of reliability is the one that is trulyachievable.

Abstract

The advanced nature of art owes to the fact that it involves the complexity of 'human' in its process, with all the capacities: emotions, feelings, soul, mind, imagination, will, attitudes, perceptions, values and meanings. Science and technology, by contrast, does not deal directly with these human dimensions. While at the beginning of this article 'science' and 'art' are seen as two completely different disciplines, in today development, particularly in the development of ‘post-modern science,’ the boundaries between them appear to be dissolving. The methods of science now even 'fuse' with the ‘methods’ of art. Among the discoveries of science there have been used the 'paradigm of the art' or the 'artistic courses of action'. In contrast, the patterns in art itself now also rely on scientific and technological discoveries, such as imaging technology (imagology) or virtual reality. What is developing in the discourse of searching 'knowledge' in all areas is the so-called 'artistic paradigm'. 'Artistic paradigm' is a model of searching for knowledge (truth, wisdom, beauty), by allowing the mind to move dynamically in the disorder, the black box, and chaos, but then to find a dynamic equilibrium in the so-called the 'edge of chaos'.

Abstract

Job lives as a righteous man before God and he is one of the good models of believer. The Scripture tells about his experiences of severe and extreme sufferings. His wealth is lost, his children die, and he becomes painfully ill. His friends accuse him of being a sinner and they even avoid him. His wife tends to do the same as his friends do. Job is afflicted and lonely in his suffering. But Job responds to his suffering by an attitude of faith. Suffering is interpreted as a way to know and understand more his God. Suffering cannot be comprehended by interpretation, but should be responded by faith. Job walks through the mystery of suffering not merely with critical and rational thought, but eventually with a confession of faith, “I know that you can do all things” (Job 42:2a). But this is yet a ‘rational’ knowing that needs further decision in faith to accept every suffering as part of life in God. It is this decision to respond to suffering that makes the difference to the character of faith as experience, that is, the courage of being religious rather than simply of having a religion.
