Abstract

Cosmology is not limited to the questions of the origin and the end of all beings or to the law and order of the universe from the perspective of modern sciences. One can perceive cosmology as a knowledge model of the universe which sets in a non-Western model of knowing. The Sundanese cosmology is an example of this model. Instead of mathematical and physical explanation, it focuses on the mythological description of the universe. Such description can be found in narrative poems (pantun) and pious lessons. This paper observes the non-western knowledge model and puts it in its context, which is geographically equivalent to Southern and Eastern Asia. An overview of the Rig Veda and Daodejing is included to describe the cosmological models in these cultural contexts. The Sundanese cosmology reverberates these models. An elaboration of Sundanese narrative poems and an old Sundanese manuscript, Sewaka Darma, indicates the similarities of the Sundanese cosmology to the cultural contexts and the knowledge models referred to. The Sundanese model enacts ‘mountain’ and the metaphor of ‘filled nothingness’ as the cosmological model. The Sundanese cosmological model portrays a down-upward journey to experience ‘moksa’ (the ultimate enlightment). This journey utilizes meditative practices and everyday deeds by means of our social and cultural roles.

Abstract

This article investigates the deeper foundation for the rapidly emerging and widespread consciousness in the business world on tbe nature and demand of the corporate social responsibility. Ethical norms and values should no longer be considered as externalistics, annoying additional costs and burdens to business interprices, but the very inner motivation for doing business at all, namely, to bring betterment to the world-wide human condition. That enduring noble al could only be accomplished if there is a comprehensive understanding on the kind of rationality that should permeate the so-called market society. In addition to the instrumental rationality that presently makes the market fluorish, we should also integrate what Max Weber called affective rationality and normative rationality.

Abstract

The Eucharist is the Christians’ source of life in faith. In Eucharist, Christians gather to commemorate the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ's presence in the Liturgy of the Word is marked symbolically with the book of Evangeliary and with the act of proclaiming the Gospel. The meanings of these symbols in the Liturgy of the Word seem to receive less attention by the practice of replacing Eucharist’s readings with other texts on spirituality. The Evangeliary and the act of proclaiming the Gospel hold an important role in the Eucharist as the symbol and the peak of Christ’s presence in the Liturgy of the Word. When liturgically and correctly administered, the liturgy of the Word is the medium for Christ to be present and to speak to the faithful.

Abstract

Pancasila is the nation's art in Indonesia, that is, a masterpiece rooted in the values that have been grown in the society. Since it has been embedded in the society, the values it gives rise should be returned to the society. It is worthy to say that Pancasila is the substantial values of this nation, without which Indonesia will disperse. This value tracing is in fact not a finished work, but an ongoing process. Thus the language used to translate the values ought to be unique, communicative, and contextual. To the end that the language contextual, the learning of local cultural values is an important orientation since only with it Pancasila has a future in this nation. When Pancasila deters the values emerging from the local wisdom then something is definitely wrong there, for these values are the root of Pancasila. Pancasila enriches the local virtues and vice versa. Because Pancasila was formulated from the local virtues then it must also be returned using the local, contextual and hospitabe language. Dogmatic and unsocial language based on the Cartesian patterns that is used to put this ideology into practice needs to be recolored. In this paper, an aesthetic paradigm is reconsidered to make room for experiences. Pancasila should be approached in a language that grew out of the sense of awe. When we talk about awe, we talk about how to talk aesthetically. Being amazed by this spirit is a start to walk through the journey towards being Indonesia. Departing from this aesthetic paradigm, the author examines the spirits that already exist and grow in the societies. Keywords:*Aesthetics, *Pancasila, *experience, *aesthetic experience, *awe, *diversity, *local values, *contextual language, *aesthetic masterpiece, *familial and common experiences, *culturization

Abstract

Education is a wide terminology describing among others the transformative and liberatif activities of human being. One of the major aims of an education programme is to make a more balanced growth of a person’s characters, covering the intellectual, spiritual, social, emotional, and physical dimensions. In the light of Ki Hadjar Dewantara, the founder of Tamansiswa educational institution, one might say that education is an effort to advance the good characters (the inner strength and characters), the mind, and the body. For him, education is an effort to liberate the physical and spiritual aspects of a human being. Thus every activity in an education institution should be a process of humanisation that goes holistically, that is, physical, mental, spiritual, individual, sosial, cultural, dan natural growths. In line with this, a well educated person who has good characters may respect other people’s rights and could develop ecological concern. This article aims to explore how far education institutions can respond within the range of Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s concept of education to the globalization issues affecting our society today.

Abstract

Dekonstruksi yang dihadirkan Derrida pada akhirnya mengajak setiap pribadi yang datang dari tradisi religius tertentu untuk merumuskan kembali penghayatan imannya, mencairkan kembali apa yang selama ini mungkin sudah terlalu membeku. Salah satu nya adalah pemahaman kita dengan apa yang disebut iman itu sendiri. Selama ini iman dipahami sebagai kebenaran obyektif yang diwahyukan, yang dipercaya (fides quae) atau penyerahan diri secara pribadi kepada Allah (fides que). Namun, jika tidak berhati-hati, kebenaran – yang objektif – ini bisa menjadi pengetahuan ilmiah-saintifik, kalau saja kita tidak menyadari “ada masalah” pada kata “Allah”. Ketidaksadaran ini lantas sangat berisiko, karena apa yang tadi dianggap sebagai ‘kebenaran’ kita berubah menjadi ‘pembenaran’. Kekerasan, pembunuhan, intoleransi, terorisme, radikalisme yang berasal dari agama adalah karena ketidaksadaran akan hal ini.
Power and Good Governance: Observations from Nigeria Columbus, Ogbujah

Abstract

In recent times, the terms ‘power’, ‘governance’ and ‘good governance’ are bandied around conferences, symposia and literary works that seek for solution to the multifaceted problems of modern life. This has become necessary, and perhaps expedient because while in some climes people legitimately struggle for power to rule, others in different regions usurp it through undemocratic means (by military coups); and others still, while hiding under democracy, unleash terror on the citizenry and/or political opponents in order to accomplish their personalized agenda unhindered. Today, Nigeria is ranked low in the committee of democratic nations because of lack of good governance: there is massive corruption, political turbulence, decline in economic productivity, and overall social discontent sometimes orchestrated by the activities of ethnic militia. The spate of violence and crimes has created an alarming sense of insecurity, such that people no longer trust on the powers of their government for protection. This paper has looked at the use of power by Nigerian political actors, especially during the democratic dispensation, and found that the flagrant disregard for the rule of law (abuse of power) has been the bane to good governance. It discovered that bad governance which is increasingly linked to corrupt ‘use of power’ is the root cause of social glitches within the nation.
