Abstract

Henri de Lubac was one of the many theologians who have brought new dynamics in theology through his interpretation of the theology and the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas. This paper wants to explore his contributions to the methods of theologizing in the church. De Lubac’s interpretation of the relation between the natural and the supernatural supports the movement “Nouvelle Théologie” that appreciates the mysterious aspects of God as understood through the Christian Scriptures and traditions. According to de Lubac’s interpretations of Thomas Aquinas, the seeds of the supernatural are already present in the natural within the human beings. The author argues that hermeneutics and correlation are two important methods that underlie de Lubac’s ideas in putting the Scriptures as the main source of the theology insofar as the Scriptures are linked with human experience and reality. The return to theology is the return to the Scriptures and tradition, but this is always in relation to the human experiences and the contemporary world situations. Key Words:*Neo-scholasticism, *Nouvelle Théologie, *The natural, *The supernatural, *Ressourcement, *Nature, *Potency, *Grace, *Anagogy, *Experience, *Tradition, *Hermeneutics, *Correlation.

Abstract

It has been said that the advance of human reflectivity is a menace to orthodoxy. Some brilliant philosophical ideas have been accused of threatening the teachings of religious institutions. That might be the reason why some thinkers were condemned or even punished by religious institutions. In truth, however, human reflectivity is not always a threat. It, instead, can be a torchlight: it can help reformulate traditional teaching afresh and anew. And this can apply to the thoughts  of Martin Heidegger. His investigation of the meaning of Being can be deployed to help shed new light to the way Christians understand the revelation. Understanding truth as aletheia, that is, Being that is revealing itself continuously, paves the path to understand God who is unceasingly revealing Godself. Revelation takes place at an ontological level. Revelation is something that besieges human inevitably. Human should not simply linger within the humdrum banalities of daily business, but instead, should be courageous to penetrate into their authenticity to hear the real whispers of God. KeyWords:*Watchman State, *das Geviert, *otentisitas, *aletheia, *wahyu, *bahasa, *Sang Ada, *degodization, *Eigentlichkeit, *Interrelatedness, *'YangLain’

Abstract

Subjektivitas modern yang dibangun atas dasar cogito ergo sum dari Descartes belakangan sedemikian dicela dan dicaci. Subjektivitas macam itu konon terlalu tertutup dan bertendensi untuk mengeksklusi yang lain. Bermacam kubu berupaya menentang subjektivitas modern. Strukturalisme dan post-strukturalisme dengan sengit hendak melenyapkan subjek dan menggantinya dengan tenunan struktural. Di antara gelombang aliansi yanghendak melenyapkan subjek tersebut, Žižek justru hendak membuat pembacaan baru dan unik atas subjektivitas modern. Melalui kacamata psikoanalisis ia membedah filsafat dan melihat dimensi-dimensi tertentu dari subjek yang selama ini tersembunyi.
