Abstract

The post-Suharto period was expected to establish Indonesiaas a democracy, committed to equality between citizens andhuman rights, but respect for women's equal rights, for examplethe freedom to terminate a pregnancy, freedom of expression,freedom from polygamy, has not occurred. Indonesia hasenjoyed some expanded political liberties, but the civil libertiesof the Indonesian people are not protected. Why hasdemocracy failed to deliver civil liberties in Indonesia despite itssuccess in opening up political liberties? Why has democracystrengthened the ties between the government and dominantreligious institutions? These are the questions I address. In thecase of Indonesia, the transition to democracy has notnecessarily led to the liberalization concerning laws on genderand freedom of the individual. In fact it has led to the opposite.This is true in the case of women's sexual liberation, which iscondemned and restricted both by the democratic electedgovernment and the dominant religious institutions.

Abstract

One of the most prominent and haunting cultural phenomenain our times is 'fundamentalism'. Its prominence, complexityand negative impacts render fundamentalism worth revisiting.Beyond its definitions, forms and enigmas, the existence offundamentalism compels us to reflect on some significantaspects of our age. I assume that fundamentalism is not athrowback to a tradition, but that it is in a dialectic relationshipwith modernity. I stress, therefore, the points of convergencebetween fundamentalism and modernity. The overlappingparadigms of fundamentalism and modernity are exploredthrough a socio-cultural and philosophical approach. Throughan elaboration of the function of fundamentalism as a culturalopposition, the paper concludes with a postmodernistapproach toward a new sensibility for 'difference and diversity'.

Abstract

'Tradition' is a contradictory concept with strong ideological burdens. On the one hand, the concept strongly connotes 'repetition', 'fixity' and 'changelessness'; on the other hand, it is diametrically opposed to the concept of 'change', 'dynamism' and 'transformation'. As a form of repetition, tradition is seen as an opposite of change, because it only repeats what 'has been'. However, through a comprehensive interpretation of the concept, it can be argued that the concept of tradition can connote both 'repetition' and 'change'. As a form of repetition, tradition is not totally separated from and immune to a particular pace of change,  innovation or even transformation. This is because there is not only a  'static repetition', but also a 'dynamic repetition' that produces change and difference. Here, I want to stress a 'transformation of tradition'. There are several ways through which a tradition can be  transformed: 1)  reinterpretation of particular forms of tradition; 2) transaesthetics discourse as a dialogues between tradition and other cultures; 3) cultural exchange as a complex process of exchange and selection; 4) critical openness as an inclusive attitude to external cultures; and 5) knowledge differentiation as the enhancement of knowledge of a tradition.

Abstract

Philosophical and theological reflections claim evil as thebinary opposite of the good. This way of thinking cannotunderstand the evil of terror. To understand the nature of evilwe need a poetic way of thinking. A poetic way of thinking goesbeyond the binary of good and evil. Dostoyevsky locates evilwithin us contingent and finite human beings. Only byacknowledging this we can gain freedom to act and create.

Abstract

After comparatively analizing Rerum Novarum and Octogesima Adveniens, this paper examines how the historical context of the documents has influenced the Catholic Church's stance on the role of women in public life. Leo XIII, in his encyclical Rerum Novarum, despite his denouncement of inhuman situations of the working class under capitalistic system, gave little attention to the unjust and inhuman situations endured by women. He still held the view that women are primarily destined to do domestic works and not to involve themselves in public areas. Paul VI in his Octogesima Adveniens gave better role to women in society. He promoted the principle of equal opportunities among men and women in social, economic, politic and cultural activities. The research shows that the sensibility of the Catholic Church  towards the real problems of injustice does grow along with the sign of the Times and with the changes of contexts.

The Kingdom of God as a Vision: a Post-critical Understanding of Luke 17:20-36 in Ricoeur’s Hermeneutics Purwadi, Y. Slamet

Abstract

If post-critical moment is applied to the metaphor of the Kingdom of God, that is, the biblical text of the Kingdom, understanding constitutes incorporation of the world-reference and the project of hope. As a result, the central truth-content of the Kingdom of God in Luke 17:20-36, the Kingdom of God is within you, must be seen as provoking a ‘proposed world’, a world of possibilities which must be projected. The texts of the Kingdom reveal a surplus meaning: an eschatological vision, reflecting existential limitation of articulation of the Kingdom as well as a project of the Kingdom of humanity. From the perspective of mimesis theory, how the contemporary readers ‘identify’ themselves with the world of text demonstrates a followability of text. In post-critical moment, the power of the text becomes an actual ‘will’ to project the ‘impossible demand’ as the impact of textual participation with the interpretive mode of engagement-detachment. What prominent in post-critical moment is that a ‘program’ of the Kingdom is placed under the project of hope. In hermeneutic principle, the revealed truth as, part of faith truth, must be interpreted as both ontological and eschatological vision. ‘Vision’ functions as a meta-critical understanding that always destabilizes existing awareness and brings it to a futuristic horizon or eschatological openness.

Abstract

Artikel ini mendaku bahwa setiap upaya yang hendak memikirkan ulang  isu-isu sosial dalam konteks global saat ini akan selalu lemah manakala tidak melibatkan isu gender. Isu gender bukanlah hanya perspektif  feminisme Barat, melainkan merupakan persoalan seluruh dunia. Ditunjukan bahwa tidak dimasukkannya perspektif feminisme akan melahirkan konsepsi-konsepsi yang tidak tepat tentang “kodrat manusia”, yang akan berakibat pada melesetnya wacana filsafat dan politis tentang kebutuhan dankepentingan yang mesti ditangani. Ditekankan pula perlunya wacana global – khususnya Posmodernisme dan Poskolonialisme- memerhitungkan buruh dan migrasi sebab dua gejala itu pun sangat menentukan bagaimana isu gender dipahami dan dihayati dalam situasi konkritnya.

Abstract

Artikel ini memertimbangkan kembali relativisme moraldalam hubungannya dengan pluralitas kebudayaan danposisi-posisi filosofis. Mengingat bahwa umumnyaHukum Hume dipakai sebagai dasar epistemologis bagirelativisme, maka pada “pars destruens” diajukan kritik atasHukum Hume yang memerlihatkan bahwa nalar manusiadapat melampaui penginderaan. Relativisme sebagaikondisi dasar bagi masyarakat pluralistik dan demokratisdikritik juga sebagai tidak benar. Sedang pada “parsconstruens” diajukan peran filsafat Katolik dalam dunia'glokal' kini sebagai ditandai pencarian 'kebenaran publik'warta Kristiani, sejenis bentuk baru “teologi natural(filosofis)”.
