Abstract

Penelitian filsosofis terhadap kepercayaan suku Igbo kerap tergoda menjadi sistematisasi menurut standard penalaran logis atau hanya menerangi keunikankeunikannya yang berbeda dari sistem kepercayaan lain. Kedua-duanya luput menangkap kompleksitas dan kedalaman kandungan pengalaman konkrit suku Ibo. Artikel ini mencoba merumuskan kompleksitas itu dalam membahas khususnya kepercayaan Ibo tentang takdir dan kelahiran kembali. Dibahas disini ihwal tubuh material yang melampaui kematian, kaitannya dengan konsep Igbo tentang kemanusiaan yang integral dan identitas personalnya.

Abstract

Among the myriad of human behaviours, few may provoke the wrath of God such as that of ‘sexual asininity’ (pathe atimias). An expression literally meaning ‘lust for impurity’ or ‘shameful desire’, this refers to homosexual acts be they feminine or masculine. In his letter to Rome 1:18-32, Paul asserts the gravity of this sin as evoking the ire of God upon their heads, the reasons being not only this sin confronts the natural will of the Creator, but even more so for its inclination in leading human to idolatry. Paul clarifies that homosexuality is not the issue per se, but all acts in whatever form they be, should they violate God’s will are displeasing to God. Paul’s starting point was not that of homosexuality leading up to idolatry. On the contrary, the text quotes Paul as explaining that idolatry is the result of erroneous relationship between human and God mirrored in aberrant sexuality. Human errs due to the bond between human and God is not firm. The logical consequence of God’s wrath is punishment. In other words, human’s transgression brings the wrath of God. God’s wrath is not part of the judgment, but a logical consequence streaming from the ill-relationship between the Creator and the creation. Punishment befalls the humankind because of the deviation of the creation’s nature.

Abstract

Rationalism has led to the inability of capturing the presence of the divine in human activities. In such situations, the rites tend to be seen as a mere ceremonial activities and secularism pervades religious life in the believers’ ways of living of their faith. Secularism happens when people only look at the physical and material elements in the religious activities, and not the work of the Spirit in an institution or in particular rites. Secular world happens because God no longer has a place in human life. A religious becomes a secular person if he or she is "not afraid of God", "does not appreciate God", and "does not recognize God’s role in life". God is probably recognised, but God is far from the real life. To counter secularism in the rites and bridging the sacred and the profane worlds, rites should never be separated from life, the concept of life needs to be developed from the concept of the self as God's image, and the self-concept needs to be renewed constantly towards the direction of the integral self.

Abstract

Yang telah cenderung mengakibatkan agama dan kebudayaan rentan terhadap konflik adalah persoalan identitas. Identitas budaya atau pun agama tak mesti dipahami dari sudut prinsip non-kontradiktoris atau pun dipastikan sebagai suatu substansi tetap. Juga tidak harus dipahami berdasarkan kesamaan prinsip formal, pengelompokan sosial, atau pun berbagai bentuk batas. Hal-hal ini terlampau cair, tumpang-tindih dan kontekstual untuk memahami identitas. Perbedaan cara pandang kehidupanlebih merupakan perkara "bagaimana" daripada "apa"; lebih soal bagaimana berbagai unsur yang sama digunakan dengan cara yang berbeda dan dalam berbagai konteks yang berragam. Maka, barangkali identitas lebih tepat bila dilihat dari sudut "kepedulian yang sama", yang dalam perjalanan sejarah perlu selalu dikaji ulang kembali kepentingan dan maknanya.

Abstract

Globalization brings about not only amazing changes but threateningleakages and ruptures to the local cultures. The flush of virtualization mayhave blurred the borders founded by the cultures and in turn confused theviews of cultural identities. The identity of 'being Indonesia'(“keindonesiaan”) is in the middle of a crisis. All the processes ofglobalisation, streams of information through the media andpostmodernity have brought great impacts on this identity. This crisis isworsened by the cultural leakages and ruptures in the whole building of theculture. There are chances of mix, amalgamation and hybridisation.Multidimensional rupture brings in external influences that should beresolved by strengthening the substance of local identity. Some localcultural principles seem to have been defoundationalised. Trans-culturalphenomena appear simultaneously with the rise of hybrid identities andways of life. All this can end up in a cultural schizophrenic showing itself inthe fluidity of identity that doesn't care about the cultural foundationsanymore.

Abstract

Immanuel Kant has been considered as one of the prominent philosophers that in a way put an end to metaphysics. Kant’s critique of metaphysics is directed towards the totalizing unity of mythological narratives, religious doctrines, and philosophical explanations. The basic concepts of narratives, religions, and philosophy had riled upon a syndrome of validity that dissolved with the emergence of expert cultures in science, morality, and law and with the autonomy of art. Today, philosophy could establish its own distinct criteria of validity under conditions of rationality in relation to science that is fallible. Habermas puts forward that philosophy after Kant can no longer be a metaphysics in the sense of “conclusive” and “totalizing” thinking. In his communication theory, Habermas develops a theory of philosophy that is not reducible to a simple totality but has social complexity as its ground that is a number of plural language games, different orders of power, different structures of politics constituting modern time. Habermas is thus concerned with developing a theory of philosophy in general as a discourse of social differentiation. Keywords:*paradigm shift *metaphysics *post-metaphysics *identity/totalizing thinking *situating reason *proceduralrationality *discourse ethics

Abstract

Culture may transgress geopolitical boundaries. these days, especially when the survival of a certain community is under the threat of global political power, the need to overemphasize cultural uniqueness arises more strongly. Tradition is ambiguous and multi-interpretable, depending on the frame of interpretation, interest, power, and above all, on the dialectical encounter of ‘translation’: only in relation with something other and different, particular aspect of the tradition comes up. More than simply a matter of ‘transmission’, tradition is in fact a process of on-going ‘transformation’ and ‘reinterpretation’. The world becames a huge stage where multiple waves of existence intersect and realize the complexity, ambiguity and subtlety of each other’s world and of their own. In the interaction self-interrogation and mutual self-criticism take place, in which the participating cultures are called into question. In such global stage, cultures would weave and reweave their conceptual networks continually. The world cultural stage today is a never-ending conversation where traditions are not only rearticulated thereby, but also reinvented, and extended to their unpredictable potentialities in terms of new contexts. Culture lives in the conjunctions of our grammar of conversation happening on the stage.

Abstract

Dalam disiplin ilmu filsafat sejak Yunani Awali, manusiadimengerti sebagai terdiri dari badan dan jiwa. BagiSokrates manusia adalah jiwa-nya. Sebab, badan tidakmenampilkan kodrat kemanusiawian yang sesungguhnya.Plato melanjutkan Sokrates dengan “menyangkal”kepentingan keberadaan badan. Problem filosofis klasikitu berlanjut pada pemikiran René Descartes yangmenyatakan bahwa badan adalah res extensa (itu yangmemiliki keluasan), sementara jiwa res cogitans (itu yangberpikir). Karena itu, dalam Descartes istilah yang lebihtepat untuk jiwa adalah “mind” daripada “soul”. Tetapisoal paling krusial dari definisi ini ialah bagaimanamungkin yang material bersatu sedemikian rupa denganres cogitans sehingga menyusun sebuah kesatuan tunggaleksistensi manusia yang begitu memesona? Pertanyaaninilah yang menjadi status questionis dari artikel ini.

Abstract

Human being is driven by many factors, but in trading activities, an individual is driven primarily by self-interest rather than other encouragement. This is the point which then develops into the core of the image of an economic being. However, the whole of human self is never driven only by self-interest. Through the history of the idea of homo economicus, what was originally a particular point of view about humans turned into a claim about the whole of human nature. The actions and behaviours of homo economicus were still driven by self-interest, but what was meant by self-interest was no longer in its classical sense. Its meaning has been much more extensive. This article shows the ambiguity of the idea of homo economicus: what was originally a certain point of view about human being, was applied to human nature and then became an agenda of how human beings and society should be. Humans must be homo economicus, but the latter is definitely not the whole picture of human nature. The image of an economic being is not the real description of the nature of human self, for it has its own territory. It is not the economic beings that gave birth to economics, but the economics that created economic beings.

Abstract

Artikel ini menyoroti bagaimana Neo-Liberalisme dan New Christian Right berhasil mendominasi politik Amerika dan merusakkan ideal dialog universal pembentukan komunitas global. Tindakan komunikatif sebagai ideal ke arah komunitas global dalam kenyataannya menghadapi tantangan sosial dan psikologis. Neo-Liberalisme dan New Christian Right di Amerika adalah neurosis sosial, siasat pertahanan diri yang bersifat reaksioner terhadap tantangan-tantangan real. Dengan itu Amerika, alih-alih mengkaji kembali dirinya, justru jatuh dalam ideologi yang protektif namun tanpa fungsi.
