Heribertus Ama Bugis, F.X Armada Riyanto, Wenseslaus Jugan — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 22:29:29 +0700

Fokus tulisan ini adalah menggali pandangan Thomas Aquinas tentang esensi dan eksistensi Tuhan, dengan fokus pada konsep "Esse sebagai Ipsum Esse Subsistens." Aquinas mengatakan bahwa Tuhan adalah eksistensi murni yang ada pada diri-Nya sendiri, tidak tergantung pada faktor eksternal. Dalam Summa Theologica, Aquinas merinci bahwa Tuhan adalah sumber keberadaan, kebenaran, kebaikan, dan keindahan. Analisis kritis terhadap karya-karya Aquinas membantu memahami landasan filosofis dalam tradisi teologi Kristen. Konsep Ipsum Esse Subsistens menyoroti aspek keberlanjutan dan kekekalan Tuhan sebagai inti segala eksistensi. Dengan membahas pandangan Aquinas, penelitian ini merinci hubungan esensi dan eksistensi Tuhan, menyajikan pandangan yang dalam dan kontekstual terhadap teologi Kristen.Tulisan ini menemukan kontribusi Aquinas dalam memahami Tuhan sebagai Ipsum Esse Subsistens memberikan wawasan penting dalam pemikiran teologis dan filosofis yang terus relevan hingga saat ini.

From Husserl to Merleau-Ponty: Tracing the Arc of Phenomenology

Iqbal Hussain Alamyar — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 22:46:10 +0700

This research traces the key developments in phenomenological thought from its inception with Edmund Husserl to its evolution under Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The primary objective is to understand the continuity and divergence in their perspectives, and the influence on phenomenology’s progression as a philosophical tradition. The study employs a conceptual and thematic analysis method to elucidate these developments by examining their foundational texts. The findings reveal a nuanced understanding of this evolution, highlighting both Husserl’s establishment of transcendental phenomenology focused on pure consciousness and Merleau-Ponty’s transformative turn toward embodied experience. By synthesizing connections between their projects, this analysis provides a comprehensive view of the arc of phenomenological thought.

Keywords: Phenomenology, Husserl & Merleau-Ponty, Intentionality, Consciousness, Embodiment

Membongkar Onto-Taksonomi: Tawaran Graham Harman bagi Alam

Yohanes Theo — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 22:42:19 +0700

When we read that the weather is not in good condition, often our hearts are touched to do something for the Earth, our home. However, it means that we are making the Earth as an object that exists independently of us? This perspective tends to place humans “higher” than non-human entities. Graham Harman dismantles that duality and proposes a way return to its being, asserting that both have an equivalent ontological basis that can no longer be reduced. This thought does not want to show that we are helpless in the face of nature, but we can do some action through aesthetics. This paper will use a fully literature-based method and rotate around the axis of Graham Harman’s thinking, especially the principles of Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO). This new proposition is expected to provide us with a better basis for how we perceive nature

Nietzsche Untuk Para Tenaga Kerja Indonesia

Yohanes Vianey F. Akoit — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Abstraksi

Nietzsche tidak bicara mengenai persoalan Buruh atau Tenaga Kerja Indonesia. Ia seorang perantau yang bicara tentang figur tuan dan budak. Ia bermigrasi karena kreativitas dan bukan dikendalikan ressentiment atas rasa sakitnya. Ia menyadari keterbatasannya di depan realitas-kaotis namun tidak mendendam dan reaktif terhadapnya. Nietzsche afirmatif untuk semua peristiwa yang ia alami. Amor fati itu membebaskan Nietzsche dari dekadensi dan inferiority complex. Kisah perantauan Nietzsche paralel dengan perantauan para pekerja migran. Kesamaan itu secara arbiterer mendorong adanya komparasi. Dorongan itu dinilai urgen karena para pekerja masih bermigrasi dengan motif dendam pada realitas, serta inferior dengan sebutan Tenaga Kerja Indonesia. Nomenklatur TKI cenderung melecehkan martabat para pekerja karena menonjolkan dikotomi otot dan pemikiran. Dalam dikotomi itu nilai jual para pekerja sebagai komoditas dihubungkan dengan otot. Maka penyiksaan yang kerap dialami para pekerja dianggap sebagai agon dan kontraksi untuk kebugaran otot. Negativitas yang dialami para pekerja perlu dipulihkan. Referensi yang cocok sebagai rujukan pemulihan ialah kisah perantauan Nietzsche.

Kata Kunci: Tuan-Budak, ressentiment, afirmatif, kaotis, amor fati, great reason, small reason, realitas.

Relasi Nietzsche dengan Paulus

Supeno Lembang — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Nietzsche’s relation with Christianity, on the the surface, easily defined as antipodal, full of animosity. It is not a simple task to specify which Christianity that can represent a stable concept of Christianity. Numerous branches as well as different school of thoughts in the body of Christianity. Nietzsche had his own view on certain Christianity (coloured by his Lutheran Protestant), he was not seldom launched attack after attack to Christianity and blame it as caused of Nihilism in Europe. Christianity according to his view has become one of the obstacles that hindered the arrival of the Overman, therefore he anointed himself to wage war with the aim to dig deep the foundation of Christianity. He did not merely assault Christianity and belief in God as some concepts that is no longer hold, but he wished to make changes and transvalue all the values which had deeply rooted in the soul of Europe. In order to pull down, to root out, change and inspire Europe, he wrote a seminal book called “Antichrist.” Nietzsche in his war strategy, he always picked a real person as Socrates, Richard Wagner, or even Schopenhauer. For Christianity, he picked Paul and Paulinism which he regarded as promoting the concept of Cross, Resurrection and promise of Hinterwelt which according to him is a great move as well as cunning. He tried to uproot Christainity with his method, which later on he called it as Genealogy. In doing so, he discovered that Paul was a true revaluator, who reevaluated the master morality into slave morality. Nietzsche has his own notion of an ideal man, who has the spirit of Dionysos, in short, he wanted to transvalue the slave morality back to master morality. In suggesting this option to Europe, a better choice, Spirit of Dionysos, he then conducted transvaluation. In that regard, Nietzsche did a similar and kinship “Hegelian Dialectic” with Paul. Therefore, Nietzsche relation with Paul is no longer can be categorized as merely antipodal, since he showed some kind of disguised adoration, an ambiguity.

Kematian dan Kebangkitan Jurnalisme:

Michael Carlos Kodoati — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

In his critique of the mass media, Habermas maintains that the media is inappropriate for democracy. Because of its proclivity to favor money and political power, Habermas believes that the media can no longer serve as a democratic outlet. Sandra L. Borden showed that the media, whatever it is, is able to assist democracy. Journalism has a solid heritage as long as it adheres to democratic, citizenship, knowledge, and freedom principles. In that sense, both Habermas and Borden believe journalism to be extinct. The article aims to find a way out of Habermas and Borden's simultaneous assessment of journalism's end. Today, when untruths may be camouflaged as facts and the people choose social media to determine the truth, the function of journalism expected by Habermas and Borden is truly required. What is democracy if there are no watchdogs? The author is looking to highlight the importance of self-improvement in the press and journalism through the way of analyzing literature sources. Both Habermas and Borden maintain that the press and journalism must follow a democratic path if they are to be independent and not be influenced by money and political power. In accordance to the author, an appropriate channel within a democratic framework is required to ensure that every truth and public opinion eventually contributes to the healthy growth of democracy.
