Abstract A mosque is a cultural product related to the system of ideas and activities of the community. Physically, the form of the Surakarta Grand Mosque is based on a view of life rooted in the beliefs of Javanese people’s religion, who have Islamic-Javanese religious beliefs. In particular, this study aims to identify and analyse elements of Javanese architecture that are applied to the spatial patterns of Surakarta Grand Mosque building. This study uses qualitative descriptive methods with narrative approaches. The study concludes that elements of Javanese architecture in the spatial pattern of Surakarta Great Mosque building have spatial pattern characteristics similar to traditional Javanese houses namely the Joglo House. From the architectural elements of Surakarta Great Mosque building there are local wisdom values that can be taken namely the value of truth, moral value, aesthetic value, and religious values.

This Introduction sets the scene for the rest of the book by raising the problem of evil; a problem that for theist and atheist alike, makes us doubt the value of the world. To value the world requires that we find something of final positive value. When we experience final positive value we feel pleasure, however the intrinsic reward of pleasure cannot always satisfy us. We must find a value that works even when our lives are going badly. It is proposed that, while the quest for moral value cannot satisfy this requirement, aesthetic value can.

This chapter explores the interaction between the moral value and aesthetic value of food, in part by connecting it to existing discussions of the interaction between moral and aesthetic values of art. Along the way, this chapter considers food as art, the aesthetic value of food, and the role of expertise in uncovering aesthetic value. Ultimately, this chapter argues against both food autonomism (the view that food’s moral value is unconnected to its aesthetic value) and Carolyn Korsmeyer’s food moralism (the view that moral flaws can only make food aesthetically worse). Instead, it argues for the position of food immoralism: sometimes a moral flaw can make an item of food aesthetically better. This chapter concludes by drawing out broader implications of this position for discussions on the ethics of food and discussions on the interaction between the moral and aesthetic values of art.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.Physical education is a subject through physical activities to teach the young people recognize their significance as important features of our culture, and develop a richer appreciation of culture and contribution. The deliberation and articulation about the role of purposeful physical activities in enhancing the quality of life, in order to illuminate peoples' understanding of what to do with their lives and how they choose to spend their spare time. Such understanding requires the engagement in purposeful physical activities so that person is able to make an informed choice. Physical education can make students know more about the other people and the society, so that their social knowledge and moral value would be enhanced. Aesthetic value is educated through physical education and students will learn how to appreciate aesthetic movements. Physical education can help students to develop a healthy life-style and promote the qualities of desirable moral behaviours, co-operation in communal life. Thus, the education of young people would be incomplete, if physical education is neglected and not recognized for the unique contribution.體育科是一個以身體活動來敎育人們的學科,使人們認識到除了知識外,還有很多作為人的應有特質。通過有目的、有計劃的體育活動,能使人們知道如何選擇適當的運動來鍛錬身體、認識與人相處的技巧、確立道德標準、培養美感、建立健康的生活模式、善用餘暇等高尚的情操。體育科的獨特性若未能發揮,則理想中的學校課程會被視為不完整,而全人敎育的目標也不可能達到的。

In order to develop a literary aesthetics of war crime, I examine the phenomenon of moral immunity in military memoir. Using three paradigmatic examples of memoirs of unjust wars characterised by the routine perpetration of war crimes, I argue that moral immunity is achieved by means of three literary devices: literary irresponsibility, ethical peerage, and moral economy. I then employ the proposed literary aesthetics of war crime to provide an answer to the perennial question of the relationship between literature and morality as well as to two specific instantiations of this question, the value interaction debate in literary aesthetics and the ethics of reading in literary theory. My conclusion is that the literary aesthetics of war crime demonstrates both that there is a systematic relationship between aesthetic value and moral value and that there is no systematic relationship between literary ambiguity and moral uncertainty.
