Abstract

Salvation is hoped by all people. Salvation is the purpose of human being to have a good life not only in the world but also in the afterlife. The question of whether it is historical or eschatological salvation as the most important in life comes up among the different religions and cultures. Culturally, people seek to find  salvation inn the world and hopefully in the hereafter. Ayii and mobu are concepts of salvation of the Ekagii tribe in Papua, Indonesia. These concepts want to give answers to the Ekagii people needing salvation in this world and in the afterlife as well. Mobu is an understanding of how a person survives in this world, but especially with regards of the material as well as the spiritual needs. Ayii is an understanding of how salvation could be experienced after death. The Ekagii people are trying to find the eternal life, ayii, in their life. This article correlates these concepts of salvation with that of Saint Paul especially in his escathology. Paul’s tension between the terms ‘already’ and ‘not yet’ is different, but in some sense similar to the cultural concepts of the Ekagii people. Paul is also providing some answers to the Christians concerning their need of salvation in the world and in the world to come. The author underlines the focus of both concepts on the process of salvation that is experienced historically and dinamically in the world.

Abstract

Thomas S. Kuhn envisioned the development science as occured through a scientific revolution when the scientific paradigm defended by the scientific community was no longer able to solve concrete problems. The scientists then shifted to a new paradigm that was able to solve the problem as well as promising a more stable of future research. This view has been criticized by Larry Laudan who says that paradigm shift is incompatible with the reality of the development of science itself. For Laudan, science develops through an internal evolution of science itself. The paradigm will never be abandoned altogether whenever scientists face a new scientific problem. Scientific theories will prove its compatibility and update itself through the process of scientific dialogue vertically and horizontally in the hierarchical model of epistemic justification.

Abstract

Popper melihat induksi mengandung tiga prinsip yang saling bertentangan. Pertama, ketidakmungkinan membenarkan suatu hukum berdasarkan suatu observasi dan eksperimen semata. Kedua, dalam kenyataan hukum-hukum itu tetap saja dipakai secara universal di dalam sains. Ketiga, ukuran untuk menerima sains adalah observasi dan eksperimen. Popper lantas mengusulkan untuk menganggap hukum-hukum dan teori sebagai bersifat tentatif namun mengandung kemungkinan ke arah akurasi dan ketepatan apabila kelak didukung oleh evidensi baru. Pengetahuan atau teori absolut tak akan pernah tercapai.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

By moral methodology of Vatican II, I mean the way of moral thinking or moral approach used in the documents of Vatican II. Louis Janssens is of the opinion that Vatican II documents are characterized by a personalistic way of moral thinking. This way of doing moral theology bases itself on the human person adequately considered in all of his/her dimensions which build up his/her dignity as the human person. This article explains some characters of personalistic moral methodology, namely that dynamic and dialogical aspect of moral approach which characterizes both Janssens's moral theology and Vatican II way of thinking. Moral theology must be dynamic as is life from which it derives. One cannot just repeat moral norms to every situation. Life situation is always changing and causing new moral questions which needs new and correct moral solutions. The most  important criterion is whether or not the moral answers to new moral problem are promotive for the real good of the person, that is making the person better and better as human being. The council of Vatican II and the moral theologian Louis Janssens are the examples of how to deal with a new changing modern world with such a creative and dynamic engagement in making dialog with new situations.

Abstract

With the death of Pierre Bourdieu in 2002, the world has lost its mostpassionate and authoritative sociologist. Although politically Bourdieu was always on the Left, the early 1990s marked a sharp turn of his writings. Sickened by the tendency of Mitterrand's government in leaning to the Right, Bourdieu had become increasingly bolder and audacious in criticizing globalization and neoliberalism. What made him more frustrated was the fact that neoliberalism at least in France some other European countries was installed by those who claim to be socialist enthusiasts. In his last years, Bourdieu unleashed a volley of blistering attacks on conformism of both the media and intellectuals toward neoliberalism. His only hope was to contrive a global social movement This paper tries to show how  important Bourdieu's critical perspective on neoliberalism in our attempt to understand the impact of globalization. It argues that Bourdieu's attack on neoliberalism and demand for a global social movement can help us to get a better understanding of globalization and antiglobalizationmovements.

The Trauma of Victimization and the Role of Forgiveness in Mitigating such Feelings Columbus, Ogbujah

Abstract

In the present world, there are rampant acts of violence, hatred and crime which have left a long trail of victims. Victims of crimes and ‘acts of God’ are traumatized not just by physical injuries but much more by the psychological torture of self-blame and un-forgiveness. To initiate a process of healing, the offender must seek for forgiveness; the victim must forgive as a means of liberating the offender and himself, and the process must entail a structure of restitution, for to forgive without requiring the other to change is not only self-destructive, but ensures that a dysfunctional relationship remains. Hence, a liberating forgiveness, even though it is growing in the act of not holding things over people, must be executed in such a manner that it neither approves, nor excuses the offense as to give the offender the leverage to perpetrate his crime.
