Abstract

Fluidity and ubiquity are two fundamental principles of our contemporary world, representing new ways of perceiving, thinking, experiencing, organising, and creating various aspects of our present world. These principles have radically transformed models of economic exchanges, industrial production, social relations, cultural representations, and aesthetic expressions. Fluidity serves as a philosophical antithesis to the modern rigid, stratified, and binary worldview, celebrating a fluid, non-stratified, and non-binary perspective driven by dynamic flow, flux, and connectivity. On the other hand, ubiquity defines our present world of objects, which are created through augmented and mixed reality, giving them the property of being present anywhere and everywhere. Both fluidity and ubiquity serve as contemporary models for generating disruptive ideas, forms, styles, products, organisations, and systems. Fluidity represents the fluid-creative organisation of physical, social, cultural, and aesthetic elements, independent of binary structures, while ubiquity represents the transformation of objects from the virtual to the trans-material.

Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) show deficits in social interaction and social communication. There are some physical and psychological problems. Some children with autism spectrum disorder exhibit difficulties in expressing their emotions. However, emotions play a crucial role in social interaction and communication. Various music therapy methods have been developed to support emotional expression in this population, one of which is improvisational music therapy. This study was aimed to know the effectiveness of improvisational music therapy for children who were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in terms of emotion regulation. The design of this research is a quantitative method using randomised controlled trials (RCT). Pre- and post-tests were used in this study. The tool of this research is the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). The result of this RCT maps the effectiveness of improvisational music therapy for emotion regulation. Improvisational music therapy can be used by children to express their emotions freely. This study demonstrates that participants were able to regulate their emotions and exhibited significant positive changes in perception building. The findings suggest that improvisational music therapy can be a valuable intervention for other populations experiencing difficulties with emotional regulation and a means to find connections between the mind and the events in the real world.

Abstract

This paper examines the ontology of artificial intelligence (AI) within the context of contemporary society. With the rapid progression of technology, the definition of legal subjects has become increasingly ambiguous, as the technological landscape continues to evolve. The orthodox perspective fails to provide adequate solutions to this problem. An alternative approach, as put forth by Visa A.J. Kurki’s bundle theory offers a potential pathway, yet AI’s intrinsic nature surpasses the minimum thresholds defined by Kurki’s model. The authors propose a periscopic model that explores the interaction between the material world and the virtual or augmented sphere, often referred to as the metaverse. This article contends that the current philosophical foundation of law is both outdated and insufficient, primarily due to the shift from singular to plural forms of agency. AI has transitioned from being purely instrumental or intermediary, as observed in Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), to autonomous decision-making entities, exemplified by Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Drawing on theoretical insights from Yuval Noah Harari, the paper underscores the need for a new conceptual framework to address AI’s lack of a material entity. In conclusion, the paper asserts that the recognition of AI as legal subjects is an inevitable development.
Sakrifisi dan Algoritmanya: Sebuah Catatan Propadeutis tentang Rasionalitas Sakrifisial Penciptaan Nilai Bawono, B. Haryo Tejo

Abstract

The word ‘sacrifice’ is both admirable and repulsive. It can be a “desired value” or a “crime against humanity”. Unfortunately, our ancestors left sacrifice theories unresolved. This paper will demonstrate that analyzing and reinterpreting sacrifice texts and theories yields a “sacrificial algorithm.” This term ‘algorithm’ means methodological, not mechanical. This article delves into the economical logic behind sacrifice after examining different concepts and theories on the subject. To address this issue, this article proposes an alternative understanding of both sacrifice and the economy. A change in perspective on sacrifice allows people to recognize its capacity to generate inherent values. Sacrifice can be viewed as a rational response in an irrational world. This allows us to consistently return our lives and lived-experiences to the original meaning of sacrifice, sacra facere, to make something (or some act) sacred.

Abstract

This article aims to explore Nicholas of Cusa’s views on religious tolerance based on a reading of his work De Pace Fidei. There are some of his ideas that might be useful in the context of religious tolerance. A dialogue among various religious beliefs is one way to find the common ground. For Nicholas, ratio is the way to unify diverse religions, because by nature humans have a desire to know truth, wisdom and God. He believes that the power of ratio is at the same time a belief in the universal grace of God. Nicholas concludes that the purpose of interreligious dialogue is to affirm “uno religio in rituum varietate.” People worship “the same God” in various rites, and different rites are tolerated because through them humans are active and creative in their ways to arrive at the Divine. The basis of Nicholas’ religious tolerance lies in respect to the plurality of unique individuals. He tolerates the plurality of religious rites to a certain degree insofar as they adhere to certain universal principles and live in harmony as expressions of belief in the “One” and bases such plurality on the ontological plurality of human beings.

Abstract

This essay explores a new way of thinking about the theology and spirituality of the Sacred Heart devotion. The essay begins by identifying the danger of global ecological collapse as a crisis that requires us to rethink traditional theologies. After reviewing the history of the Sacred Heart devotion and how it became associated with the theology of reparation, the essay proposes a renewed Christology that discovers the Heart of Jesus truly at the heart of the world—including at the heart of the Earth’s physicality and its ecological systems. In this view, the damage humans are inflicting on the whole community of Earth creatures literally pierces the Heart of Jesus. Our embrace of his Heart at the heart of the world will awaken us to a spirituality of reparation as compassionate accompaniment of the suffering Earth and its creatures.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be understood from an epistemological standpoint, specifically in relation to the concept of legal personhood. It has evolved into a stronger version with broader capabilities, surpassing its predecessors, particularly Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI). This rapid advancement has significant consequences, not to mention its increasing problem-solving ability–an essential characteristic of intelligence. To determine its legal status, AI must meet specific criteria. Generative AI, such as large language models (LLMs), serves as a warning sign, as Yuval Noah Harari argues, radically altering how humans cooperate. Harari maintains that social constructs have historically relied on human-to-document intersubjective interaction, mediated by bureaucracies. The latest developments, however, shift this relationship toward document-to-document interaction, transforming the nature of information. Instead of being merely a collection of data (‘inform-ation’), information now serves as the fundamental backbone of social institutions (‘in-formation’). From a periscopic perspective, as discussed by the authors, the discrepancy between the real and the metaversal expands AI’s role in everyday human activities. The authors propose a special legal personhood status for AI, considering its emerging analytic a priori capabilities. However, while AI remains in the later stages of its development, this possibility introduces mitigated risks that require further analyses.
Evangelical Poverty among Catholic Priests: Insights from Haggai and Pastores Dabo Vobis Marthensa, Revie

Abstract

This study aims to offer an alternative perspective on evangelical poverty among Catholic priests amidst worldly luxury. While priests are encouraged to live in poverty as a spiritual virtue, some have been drawn into the allure of material wealth and comfort. Insights are drawn from the Book of Haggai and Pastores Dabo Vobis (PDV). Haggai emphasizes God as the Omnipotent Sovereign, calling humanity to surrender fully to His will. PDV, depicting God as the Supreme Good and the True and Definitive Treasure, guides priests in living evangelical poverty by responsibly using material goods and trusting in God’s provision. The correlation between Haggai and PDV underscores evangelical poverty as a surrender to God as the Abundance, freeing priests from attachment to material goods, making space for God’s unexpected and transformative grace. This grace leads to a life of self-giving, generosity, and a commitment to rebuilding the lives of those they serve. Reflections from these sources highlight three practical applications: approaching their mission with trust in God’s providence, managing Church resources with integrity and accountability, and offering a prophetic witness of simplicity amidst a consumerist culture.
