Religious Aspects

The classical pragmatists were as concerned as any of their modern philosophical predecessors that the moral and religious aspects of human life not be swamped by the successes of the physical sciences. It was John Dewey, after all, who said thatThe problem of restoring integration and cooperation between man's beliefs about the world in which he lives and his beliefs about the values and purposes that should direct his conduct is the deepest problem of modern life. It is the problem of any philosophy that is not isolated from that life.

Judicial review is the power of a court to pass judgment on actions taken in other branches of government, most notably with respect to the constitutionality of legislation enacted by representative legislatures. It is a core feature of judicial power that is prominent in the American system and is increasingly prevalent around the world across all legal traditions. This chapter provides a brief overview of the historical origins and spread of the practice of judicial review. The chapter then reviews two streams of academic research––normative and empirical––that seek to understand the theoretical and practical implications of the practice of judicial review in a representative democracy. The chapter highlights fruitful avenues for future research at the intersection of these lines of inquiry.

Communication is an integral part of human life because our movements are always associated by communication. At this point, the communication is in terms of Islamic communication, i.e. communication of moral al-karimah or ethics. Communication of morality means the communication that comes from the Quran and hadith (sunnah of the Prophet). Islamic communication is a new form of phrase and thought emerged in academic research started from about three decades ago. The emergence of Islamic communication thoughts and activism is based on the failure of the philosophy, paradigm and implementation of western communication which further optimizes the pragmatic, materialistic and capitalist media values. This failure has negative implications especially on the Muslim community throughout the world due to the different religions, cultures and lifestyles of the (western) countries that are as the producers of the sciences. There are two kinds of communication consisting of: (1) direct communication (face to face) either between individual with individual, or individual with group, or group with group, group with society, hence influence the individual relation (interpersonal) included in understanding the communication; and (2) mass communication that is a process of communication made through the mass media with various purposes of communication and to convey information to a wide audience. The basics of communication principles must be mastered. By mastering the principles of communication in Islamic society, it can be able to organize Islamic education and Islamic communication to form a high-quality communication in the society, professionals, and noble character.
