Abstract

Terminologi “Gereja” memiliki dua arti yakni sebagai sebuah gedung atau bangunan dan sebagai persekutuan umat beriman. Sebagai sebuah gedung, Gereja memiliki beragam rupa wajah tergantung di mana ia dibangun. Gereja di kota-kota besar sungguh berbeda dengan yang ada di pedalaman hutan, tepi pantai, dan tempat-tempat yang masih mengalami keterbatasan pembangunan. Paus Fransiskus, dalam Laudato Si, mengajak umat beriman untuk kembali menaruh perhatian sungguh pada alam lingkungan hidup. Gereja di kota-kota besar yang menggunakan pendingin ruangan dan konsumsi listrik hampir menyamai mal turut menyeruakan kepedulian terhadap lingkungan hidup tanpa mengalihkan konsumsi sumber daya gedung kepada alternatif penghijauan yang bisa membuat Gereja tetap nyaman dijadikan tempat doa. Sedangkan Gereja-gereja di pedalaman yang sangat ‘menyatu dengan alam’, kerap dianggap sebagai sebuah keprihatinan yang membutuhkan bantuan materiil segera. Definisi kata “layak” menjadi perbincangan atas dua fenomena tersebut. Persoalan tersebut akan dijawab dengan menggunakan studi pustaka dan perbandingan literasi dengan menggunakan pemikiran William Chang tentang eco-theology dan moral lingkungan hidup. Temuan-temuan yang didapat dalam tulisan ini adalah bahwa paradigma kedudukan manusia dalam alam semesta harus berubah dari antroposentrisme ke universalisme alam ciptaan, edukasi deep ecology menjadi prioritas utama umat kristiani dalam berelasi dengan lingkungan hidup, dan relasi Allah Tritunggal menjadi rujukan relasi triniter dari Manusia-Allah-Alam.

Abstract

This paper describes contextual ethical views in life as far as humans. The enforcement of justice demands term and conditions that allow its realization. Richard Rorty's idea of an ironic liberal ethic may become an embryo that can structure and shape justice as part of solidarity. The ethic of ironic liberal guides a person not to absolute his views, but to be open to the truth from others. Freedom is upheld as long as it does not cause cruelty to others because cruelty is the worst thing a human being can do. The open and free attitude that is the spirit of the liberal ironist is at odds with the metaphysics. The metaphysics are still looking for a basis for ethical conduct, while the liberal ironists believe that these various foundations are the root of all cruelty in society. By being ironically liberal, of course one becomes just by itself.

Abstract

The theme of this research is "Covid-19 Patients as Lyan in Sartre's Perspective." This research was born from the struggle of researchers over the fact that in the current pandemic period, a lot of unfair behavior appears and undermines life with the community. This unfair behavior is especially experienced by Covid-19 patients in Malang. In this study, researchers want to conduct a comparative study of dehumanizing behavior towards Covid-19 patients in Malang in Sartrean Ethics. The methodology used in this research is qualitative research with field research. The theoretical basis in this study is the Lyan concept in Jean Paul Sartre's ethics which is compared with the dehumidification behavior of Covid-19 patients in Malang. The research data were obtained through interviews with three research subjects and supported by several realities from supporting sources. This study found that Covid-19 patients had been used as Other by members of the public. Covid-19 patients are referred to as other because they often receive dehumanizing treatment from the community. Their families are also often treated unfairly by being expelled, berated, and humiliated even though they are part of the local community, and they are not Covid-19 patients either.

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring the concept of love according to Soren Kierkegaard's thoughts as a symbol of faith in the midst of the outbreak of religious discrimination in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to understand the concept of love according to Soren Kierkegaard and its relevance for religious discrimination that often occurs in Indonesia. Discrimination is common in religious life. The reason is because religion tends to be seen from the building and its rites. The religion that actually contains the values of goodness, truth and the highest value of love is narrowed in meaning. Values whose meaning is very positive and contained in the Scriptures of every religion have narrowed meanings. Religion as a place where the value of love grows is finally sacrificed due to the narrow understanding of its adherents. Soren Kierkegaard gives a very deep understanding of love. This philosopher of existentialism posits about the stages of human life, namely the aesthetic stage, the ethical stage and the religious stage. The concept of love also undergoes changes as human life progresses according to the three stages of human life. The author uses a phenomelogical approach and uses literature studies in completing this paper. According to the author, the concept of love in Kierkegaard's thinking provides the right relevance to the outbreak of religious discrimination that occurred in Indonesia.

Abstract

MacIntyre melihat bahwa dimensi biologis manusia perlu diperhatikan jika ingin melakukan penyelidikan tentang moral. Tulisan ini pertama-tama bermaksud untuk menjelaskan ada tiga hal yang perlu diperhatikan jika ingin melakukan penyelidikan tentang moral. Tiga hal itu adalah fakta kerentanan, kebergantungan dan manusia dengan tubuh hewaninya. Kemudian akan dikaji jenis keutamaan seperti apa, yang di satu sisi, dapat mengatasi kerentanan, lalu, di sisi yang lain, dapat menjaga kebergantungannya serta sekaligus menolong manusia untuk mencapai perkembangan optimalnya. Terakhir, sebuah evaluasi singkat akan diberikan terhadap pemikiran MacIntyre mengenai keutamaan yang berkaitan dengan fakta kerentanan dan kebergantungan. Dalam artikel ini akan ditunjukkan bahwa manusia membutuhkan dua jenis keutamaan untuk mengatasi kerentanan, menjaga kebergantungan dan sekaligus membantunya mencapai pertumbuhan optimal. Keutamaan itu adalah, di satu sisi, keutamaan seperti yang diusulkan oleh MacIntyre yaitu keutamaan mengakui kebergantungannya, tetapi, di sisi yang lain, manusia membutuhkan keutamaan kerendahan hati.

Abstract

The issue of injustice (corruption, buying and selling legal cases, welfare for the poor, etc.) that causes people to suffer still frequently occurs in Indonesia. In a life of faith, faith must be revealed through actions that bring justice and love to those who are suffering. The purpose of this research is to answer questions about how Christians live out their faith and how the Church manifests the presence of God in the reality of injustice. The method used in this research is qualitative, employing literature studies. Church documents and the thoughts of theologians discussing the Church's calling in the midst of the reality of injustice are examined using critical discourse analysis. The results of this research show that in the midst of the reality of injustice, the Church must present itself as a sacrament of God’s presence that desires human beings to live. It must restore the dignity of both the victims and perpetrators of injustice. It also needs to engage in dialogue and collaboration with people of other religions to address the issue of injustice.

Abstract

Some individuals opt for unquestioning their faith, while others lean more toward reason and distance themselves from faith. The former extreme can lead to anarchic and uncontrolled religious militancy within society, whereas the latter extreme can result in the waning of faith. This study aims to address the placement of the dialogue between faith and reason. The qualitative method, utilizing in-depth literature, is employed for this investigation. The Encyclical Letter Fides et Ratio and the writings of Thomas Aquinas were selected as key sources to delve into this topic. The results of this study indicate that discourses about the interaction between faith and reason do not always coexist, there are times when reason is sidelined and there are times when reason is upheld as the main truth. Being a good Christian requires constant effort to have a dialogue between faith and reason. Through this process, faith is enriched by reason, while reason is enlightened by the illuminating light of faith.
