The opening article explores the economic philosophy of Irving Fisher, highlighting his revolutionary ideas that connect economics with the dimensions of time and value. On a different note, the article on ecosophy and environmental pollution in Dili Municipality applies Arne Næss’s ecological ethics to analyze the consequences of waste productivity on the environment. From a cultural perspective, the article examining the Manggarai tradition of belis (bride price) through Gabriel Marcel’s existential lens offers a philosophical reflection on the tension between "being" and "having" within indigenous practices. Meanwhile, a theological contribution on art and sacredness in Catholic liturgy emphasizes the essential role of beauty as an expression of living faith through symbols, space, and liturgical aesthetics. Finally, a philosophical examination of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of technology and artificial intelligence invites us to reexamine the meaning of human existence in a world increasingly dominated by machines and technical logic.

Drawing a thread between traditional wisdom and contemporary reflection, this edition aims to foster critical dialogue between faith, reason, and culture. We invite you to read, reflect, and engage.
