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

Logical positivism and empiricism embody the scientific spirit thatputs science autonomous from culture and society. This can bequestioned from a cultural perspective, which accommodates thevarious contexts of human knowledge. In this perspective, scienceas a system of human knowledge is deeply rooted and colored bythe socio-cultural context.

Abstract

Whenever we claim that our idea is better than another idea, it is always important to have a good understanding of the ‘inferior’ idea and to be able to present our own one in a clear and coherent manner. The failure to do both will lead not only to a bad argument, but, more fatally, also to an unfair judgment of the idea we oppose.

Abstract

For the Javanese the whole life is a manifestation of the Absolute.Therefore it is not possible to separate the sacred from the profane,neither morality from religiosity, nor epistemology from ethics.Knowledge, as the pursuit of the truth, is not viewed as in empiricaltradition in which the mind perceives objects out there through thecreation of representations of them by the nervous systems andregistered by the brain (Representationalism); neither as inCartesian intellectualism in which knowledge is founded onindubitable certainties (Foundationalism). It is, instead, a matter ofdoing and venturing (Laku) in which one is to go deeper: fromgross physical body, through subtle body, to the sublime soul. Thecentre of gravity of this pursuit is rasa ( inner feeling, ultimatesecret, the bearer of the divine life, the vehicle of life). Rasa is thequintessence of all the three parts of human structure : the head,the chest and the genital ( the scrotum).

Abstract

While Wittgenstein is not famous for his writings on religion, it iscertainly possible to interpret his work in such a way that it can beapplied to religion. As Wittgenstein's work is generally divided inearly and late work, this paper provides two interpretationregarding religion. His early work – Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus – can be considered a form of negative theology.His later work – Philosophical Investigations – offers ananthropologic method, i.e. the language game, that can be appliedto religion.

Abstract

The author offers a discourse analysis of inter-religious relationsduring the New Order (1965-1998) in Indonesia. The relationsbetween the Muslim majority and Christian minority were tense inthis period. Muslims and Christian disagreed on how to interpretthe law concerning freedom of religion and tolerance. Muslimsclaimed that Christians used foreign aid for 'Christianization' and'Westernization. Christians, on the other hand, claimed thatMuslims curtailed the freedom of religion of Christians by acts ofintolerance and violence. Meanwhile, then president Suharto triedto be seen as impartial, for he considered economic prosperitymore important than religion.

Abstract

After the fall of Suharto regime in May 1998, political change wasnot only marked by the more democratic political atmosphere, butalso by the awakening of radical and conservative Islam groups.These groups have ample rooms to promote their agenda.Although they have different agendas such as the implementationof Islamic law, the establishment of Islamic state and even ofIslamic Caliphate in Indonesia, they are similar in their attempts toreplace Pancasila as the state foundation into Islam. This articleaims to show that these attempts are not enough rooted in thehistory. Historically, the founding fathers clearly stated thatIndonesia is neither an Islamic nor secular state; it is a state foundedon Pancasila. This phrase summarizes the difficult compromisesand agreements among the founding fathers of this Republicconcerning the official national ideology, i.e., between the Islamistand nationalist groups. It brings us to a few months before and afterthe independence day declared on August 17, 1945. There shouldbe no contradiction between Pancasila and Islam. ModerateMuslims in Indonesia already have enough reason to reject the ideaof an Islamic state as well as to accept Pancasila as a political reality,as the common platform for a plural Indonesia.

Abstract

The worsening environmental crisis has become one of the mostpressing global issues that all nations and peoples of the worldmust give attention to. Scientists have earlier warned us that if thistrend of ecological degradation continues, it might not take longwhen the planet earth will not be able to sustain life anymore. Thispaper argues that the root cause of the current global ecologicalcrisis is mainly theological and ethical. It goes back to the issue ofhow the biblical account of creation should be interpreted andunderstood in the light of the present ecological crisis. It suggests acontextual reading of the Bible particularly the Genesis creationaccount that takes seriously the current environmental problemthat besets mankind. Specifically, it proposes a reinterpretation ofthe divine mandate to "replenish," "multiply," and "subdue" theearth which are very often used to support the human abuse andmanipulation of the environment. This paper also seeks to showthat religion and science can substantiate and support each other'sclaims and can work together for the preservation andenhancement of nature and environment.

Abstract

The self and the city interrelate; both the self and the city arereflexive projects. Moreover, these reflexive projects aredialectally interrelated. Identity is not expressed in actions but(per-)formed through actions. Performativity entails a dialogue,with others and with the urban environment. The meaning ofthe self is public and shown in its created forms: the city.Knowledge is grounded not in theory but in practice, i.e.knowledge of the city is shown in social practices, styles andforms. The unforeseen and unwanted consequences of theurban risk society cause anxiety, which in turn causessegregation, exclusion and architecture of fear. To overcomethis, we citoyens need creativity as a virtue; the density of amegalopolis could also lead to an innovative attitude, hence theexperiences of the creative communities in Bandung.
