Homili Imajinatif: Imaji Kitab Suci dan Imaji Umat dalam Peristiwa Bahasa Tarmedi, P. A. Didi
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 30 No. 2 (2014)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

The author argues that homily is not only an event to explain the Scriptures and relate them to the believers’ experiences in order to find God’s will in their daily lives, but a transformative experience for the preacher that it should be conveyed in an attractive, understandable, and influential way. One of the alternatives discussed here is the imaginative preaching. The setting of the imaginative preaching is the world of images, that is, the images living in the sphere of mind and heart. A homily is a space that captures various images from the Scriptures as well as from the believers’ experiences and paints the images through the verbal language, which is used not only to ‘explain’ something already known by the hearers, but to present a figurative language that may open the horizons formerly not realised with simply an explaining language. Imaginative preaching intensifies and opens up the horizons, and not simply widens them. It may offer different ways of understanding to the believers as a community, which is also the place of God’s presence and works day-by-day. In this way imaginative preaching might also be seen as an area of study that focuses on the relatedness among God’s stories, the believers’ stories, and the preacher’s stories. A homilist must always build a bridge between the text and the believers’ context by way of painting the images in the sphere of figurative-verbal-language – a narrative.

TRADITION, REPETITION, TRANSFORMATION : The Dynamic of Cultural Globalization Piliang, Yasraf A.
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 24 No. 2 (2008)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

'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.

The Niger Delta and Human Rights in Nigeria Emmanuel O, Davies
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 26 No. 2 (2010)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

The Niger Delta Region in the enclave called Nigeria today has been terribly locked in an endless battle for its Human Rights which also includes the right to development and economic autonomy, with various predatory institutions which have across time, relentlessly sought to command its immense natural wealth and dictate to it the terms and manner of development it must follow. The world conference on Human Rights held in Vienna, Austria recognized the fact that development rights are arguably fundamental and inalienable rights. The recognition of the right to development and the meeting of basic economic and social needs as part of fundamental human rights by the conference marked a turning point in the United Nations recognition of only Civil rights as fundamental human rights.This paper takes a look at the Niger Delta , its problems of human rights to which development rights is a part and contends that the Niger Delta development rights must be promoted and defended at all cost on the basis of proper understanding of the institutionalization of a transparent and genuine democracy. KeyWords:*Niger Delta, *human rights, *development, *resource control, *Nigeria, *fundamental rights, *linternational law

Makan sebagai Aktivitas Produktif: Tinjauan Filosofis tentang Makan dari Perspektif Foucaultian Setiawan, F. X. Rudi

The meaning of eating is often reduced to concern objects or properties. Food is quite often understood as merely nutritive materials to fulfill the biological needs in order to survive or to satisfy human psychological desire. From this perspective, eating is tragically seen as killing for living. Eating thus becomes a consumptive and exploitative action. Nevertheless, eating can be a more productive act if food is not only construed as object or property, but as human strategy or means to construct relationships in social life. Inspired by Foucault, this paper shows that the meaning of food ought to be extended from the nutritive intrinsic aspects toward the political or cultural aspects; that is, food as a means to construct subject. In a sense, food governs or normalizes people in their social life. Therefore, food and eating give rise to knowledge, value order, behavioral patterns, lifestyles, or beliefs: they become the creative and transformative energy of the civilization.

Parameter “Hidup yang Baik”: Tegangan antara HAM, Agama, dan Sains Sugiharto, I. Bambang
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 34 No. 1 (2018)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

In terms of the parameter of ‘Good Life’, the Declaration of Human Rights as well as the ideals of religions and science have in fact been criticized respectively, and considered flawed. While the Declaration of Human Rights is universal in character – hence they can become a point of convergence among different religions – it is also susceptible to political manipulation, and subject to criticism from particular religious perspectives as well as from scientific outlook. As with science itself, its perspective is considered too narrow and mundane, when viewed from religious perspectives, that is, science deliberately leaves out the mysterious transcendental dimension inherent in human life. On the other hand, religion has also been under severe criticisms these days, due to its contradictory tendencies. At this juncture, atheist scientists come up with a point of view which they claim to be more neutral and objective as far as it concerns the ideal of ‘good life’. At least this is what Sam Harris believes it to be, in his idea of “moral landscape”.

Being Sundanese and Javanese Cultural Persons and Church Members Tedjoworo, Hadrianus
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 27 No. 3 (2011)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

For the Christians in Java, being cultural persons has been taken for granted in their daily life, but being church members is something that they are learning and realising in their participation in the church community. This distinction emerges when the faithful are committing themselves to the church along their journey through the sociocultural reality. In the ‘new’ community, which in the context of this article is the church, they see their being cultural persons in a different way and reimagine their identity in the daily experiences and the encounters with others. This article is an effort to listen to the believers’ imagination by considering their sociocultural images in imagining the church from within their local perspectives. Doing ecclesiology in this way is a journey to accompany and to listen to the local believers in search of their own ‘church’. The author puts the survey among the Catholics in two parishes in West and Central Java and the analysis of its results within the context of doing contextual theology of the church by qualitatively and intuitively exploring the local believers’ cultural images. Key Words:*Images, *Cultural images, *Church images, *Imagination, *Imagerial preference, *Participation, *Contextual and meaningful images, *Culturally embedded images Ecclesiology.

Dari Pengalaman Estetis ke Sikap Estetis dan Etis Jena, Yeremias
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 30 No. 1 (2014)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

Every encounter with a work of art has the potential to give birth to the aesthetic experience. The depth of the experience and its transformative effect is different on each person. However, as an experience, its existence is not in doubt. The problem lies on whether an aesthetic experience is something purely subjective or objective. If the aesthetic experience is objective, to what extent can it be accounted for? Could an aesthetic experience encourage certain ethical action? In this paper the author argues that an aesthetic experience is always moving between the directions of a pendulum, namely, when the artwork appeared to the awareness of the subject and when the experiencing subject narrated the experience. The author wants to defend one of the main positions in aesthetics which says that not only the aesthetic experience encourages a particular moral action, the artwork itself might often stand as a medium of a moral struggle for the betterment of the people.

JAVANESE EPISTEMOLOGY REVISITED Sugiharto, Bambang
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 24 No. 3 (2008)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

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).

Fondasi Kritik Karya Seni dari Perspektif Estetika Analitis Emansipatoris Noël Carroll Simanjuntak, Mardohar B. B.
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 32 No. 2 (2016)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

Defining what an artwork is has been a recurrent theme in aesthetics, or to be more specific, in the philosophy of art. Yet this is proven to be no simple matter. Thus finding the definition of art has proven to be an elusive undertaking as works of art have always kept on eluding one definition after another. A strong definition might have proven to be illusory. An analytic aesthetician, Noël Carroll has undertaken a complex, if not ambitious, project opting to refute this conundrum in aesthetics by proposing another perspective that stems not from metaphysics but an epistemological one. He managed to show analytically that the epistemological approach is far less problematic and even offers a string of advantages at the praxis level. Carroll completed his proposal by revising two of the most powerful definition of art, that is, the Kantian aesthetic experience and the Levinsonian historical definition of art in those he emancipated the most essential foundation disinterestedness coined by Immanuel Kant, and set the modified definition in a trail of historical correctness. The mix between these two strong elements has amalgamated in a new breed proposed by Carroll in that he labels it historical narrative. This, for Carroll, is a better option over endless disputes over the speculated essence of an artwork and its criticism.
