The relevance of the present article is related to the urgent problem in Humanities (cultural studies, philology and sociology): characterization of anti-utopia that emerged in the ХХ and the XXI centuries, and its various national modifications. The purpose of the article is to define typical features of the anti-utopia in the Scandinavian novel Kallocain written by a Swedish writer Karin Boye and draw some parallels with Yevgeny Zamyatin’s novel We. The article proves the following thesis: the majority of the specific characteristics of anti-utopia are based on the category of the chronotope. The basic methods of the research were descriptive analytical method, comparative typological method, summarization, cultural-historical method, motive analysis, and content analysis of the text. The model of state-building is implemented in the artistic space of both novels. This model is presented as an ideal one; however, a closer look shows that it is the model of the totalitarian system of government: the states are isolated from the surrounding world which is presented in the novels as alien and hostile. Order, stability, and equality prevailing in the World Empire (Boye) and the United State (Zamyatin) are pushed to their grotesque limits and lead to the universal equalization of the citizens, and the governmental control of all the aspects of human life, including the intimate sphere.

Abstract: Nations in the world have been preoccupied with new ideas in the form of the society 5.0 era, while this nation is still trying to release the entangled bureaucracy. The government's efforts in reforming the bureaucracy with its various standards have not been able to produce satisfactory results. Therefore, this study seeks to contribute ideas by examining the thoughts of A. Djazuli about ḥifẓu al-ummah on this issue. This research is normative legal research. The analytical method used is the method of content analysis. The results of this study indicate that maqāṣid syarīʽah has been oriented to individual problems, so that they pay less attention to humans in the community. Ḥifẓu al-ummah as the development of maqāṣid syarīʽah places this bureaucratic problem in the category of maqāṣid al-hajiyat. The complicated bureaucracy does not damage human life but is very difficult. The bureaucratic system in Indonesia must be directed at a modern system with artificial intelligence in welcoming the era of 5.0 society.Keywords: bureaucracy; ḥifẓu al-ummah; era of society 5.0Abstrak:Bangsa-bangsa di dunia telah disibukkan dengan gagasan baru berupa era society 5.0, sedangkan bangsa ini masih berusaha melepaskan jeratan birokrasi yang berbelit. Upaya pemerintah dalam mereformasi birokrasi dengan berbagai standarisasinya belum mampu membuahkan hasil yang memuaskan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini berusaha memberikan kontribusi pemikiran dengan mengkaji pemikiran A. Djazuli tentang hifz al-ummah terhadap permasalahan ini. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif. Metode analisis yang digunakan ialah metode analisis isi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa maqashid syariah selama ini berorientasi pada persoalan individual, sehingga kurang memperhatikan manusia dalam komunitas. Hifz al-ummah sebagai pengembangan dari maqashid syariah menempatkan persoalan birokrasi ini dalam kategori maqashid al-hajiyat. Birokrasi yang berbelit tidak sampai merusak kehidupan manusia tetapi sangat menyulitkan. Sistem birokrasi di Indonesia harus diarahkan pada sistem modern dengan artificial intellegence dalam menyongsong era society 5.0.Kata Kunci: birokrasi; ḥifẓu al-ummah, era sosial  5.0

The present article has two objectives. One is to elucidate the philosophical approach presented in the so-called Strahov Systematic Manuscripts of Jan Patočka in terms of consciousness and nature. The other is to compare this philosophical approach with Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s theses on nature, as elaborated in 1956–1961, and to point out some advantages and limitations of both approaches. In our opinion, Patočka’s philosophical approach consists, on the one hand, in a descriptive analysis of human experience, which he understands as a pre-reflective self-relationship pointing towards the consciousness of the world. On the other hand, on the basis of this descriptive analysis Patočka consequently explicates all non-human life, inorganic matter, and finally the whole of nature as life in its own right, the essence of which is also a certain self-relation with a tendency towards consciousness. The article then briefly presents Merleau-Ponty’s theses on nature, and finally compares them with Patočka’s overall theses on nature. The advantage of Patočka’s notion of nature as against Merleau-Ponty’s is that, in Patočka’s view, nature encompasses both the principle of unity and individuality. On the other hand, the advantage of Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of nature as against Patočka’s lies in the consistent interconnectedness of the infinite life of nature and the finite life of individual beings.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh ketertarikan peneliti kepada Ahmad Hassan, karena ketokohannya bisa membawa Persis yang merupakan organisasi yang relatif kecil secara keanggotaan, dapat memiliki pengaruh yang luas lewat perdebatan dan penerbitan yang dilakukannya. A. Hassan banyak melakukan polemik dengan berbagai tokoh penggerak paham kebangsaan seperti Soekarno dan Muchtar Luthfi. Topik yang banyak diperdebatkannya adalah mengenai paham kebangsaan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode historis yang meliputi empat tahapan, yaitu: 1) heuristik, 2) kritik sumber, 3) interpretasi, dan 4) historiografi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, A. Hassan berpandangan bahwa umat Islam di Indonesia harus memperjuangkan asas Islam sebagai landasan perjuangan, dikarenakan segala sesuatu dalam kehidupan manusia baik dalam aspek sosial, politik maupun keagamaan harus selalu terintegrasi pada ajaran Allah dan semangat Islam. Pandangan A. Hassan ini nantinya akan berseberangan dengan Muhtar Luthfi bahwa Islam dan kebangsaan adalah satu napas perjuangan yang tidak dapat dipisahkan satu sama lainnya, mencinta tanah air artinya manusia sedang membumikan ajaran Islam di dunia. Persoalan mengenai Islam dan kebangsaan ini nantinya akan mewarnai polemik antara golongan Islam dan golongan nasionalis pada tahun 1930-an. This research was motivated by the interest of researchers to Ahmad Hassan, because his figure could bring Persis which is a relatively small organization in membership, could have a broad influence through the debate and publishing he did. A. Hassan did a lot of polemic with various national figures such as Soekarno and Muchtar Lutfi. The topic of much debate is about nationalism. The method used in this study is the historical method which includes four stages, namely: 1) heuristics, 2) source criticism, 3) interpretation, and 4) historiography. Based on the results of the research that has been done, A. Hassan believes that Muslims in Indonesia must fight the principles of Islam as the basis of the struggle, because everything in human life both in social, political and religious aspects must always be integrated in the teachings of Allah and the spirit of Islam. A. Hassan's view will later be contradicted by Muhtar Luthfi that Islam and nationality are a breath of struggle that cannot be separated from each other, loving the homeland means that humans are grounding the teachings of Islam in the world. The issue of Islam and nationality will later color the polemic between Islamic groups and nationalists in the 1930s.

This paper discusses how the process of governance in Nigeria over the years has been characterized by many negative indications, while the world which our government is pretending to copy is fast entrenching in every facet of its laws and practices the sanctity of life. It also discusses how our electoral and political machinery are legitimizing murder as an acceptable paradigm of settlement of even minor brushes. Governance is supposed to be articulate and organized leadership to culminate meaningful development that will bring the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Methodologically, the study was carried out using content analysis. Various existing document such as, historical evidence, newspaper reports, journal and existing archival records were content analyzed. Thus, while democracy in Nigeria is but a sham, good governance is still far in coming. The paper found out that the political class has continued to dispose and demonstrate known military attribute like corruption, civil authoritarianism, democratic dictatorship, brazen disrespect for human life, which have led to incessant killings as a political strategy. Rather than produce good governance that will develop the State, the above scenario has produced bad governance and further increased the poverty of the Nigerian populace.

This article aims to examine the thoughts of Imam al-Syatibi on maqāşid al-sharīah and its actualizations in modern life. The method used is qualitative, while the data analysis technique used is content analysis to analyze the substance of maqāşid al-sharīah. It is then correlated with the context of current human life. The results of the study show that the theory of maqāşid al-sharīah initiated by Imam al-Syatibi has presented sharīah in its elastic face. Maqāşid al-sharīah has transformed Islamic theory into universal human values, such as benefit, justice, and equality in Muslims' lives in the world. This can be seen at least in two ways: first, maqāşid al-sharīah as a developing Islamic law method. The development of the theory of maqāşid al-sharīah has inspired the philosophy of Islamic laws. It becomes the basis of thinking and analysis, which is fundamental to Islamic legal thinking in this globalization era and dynamic social changes. Second, maqāşid al-sharīah in building sharīa economics; maqāşid al-sharīah's theory occupies a very central and vital position in formulating a sharīah economic development methodology. In the context of sharīah economics, the purpose of maqāşid al-sharīah is to safeguard human benefits. A Muslim is encouraged to produce and consume goods/services, of course, within valuable considerations.Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji pemikiran Imam al-Syatibi tentang maqāşid al-sharīah dan aktualisasinya dalam kehidupan modern. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif, sedangkan analisis data yang digunakan adalah content analysis yakni sebagai sebuah upaya menganalisis substansi pemikiran maqāşid al-sharīah, kemudian dikorelasikan dengan konteks kehidupan masyarakat sekarang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teori maqāşid al-sharīah yang digagas oleh Imam al-Syatibi telah menghadirkan shariah dalam wajahnya yang elastis. Maqāşid al-sharīah telah mentransformasikan teori-teori shariah ke dalam nilai-nilai kemanusiaan universal, seperti kemaslahatan, keadilan dan kesetaraan dalam kehidupan umat Islam. Hal ini setidaknya bisa dilihat dalam dua hal: pertama, maqāşid al-sharīah sebagai metode pengembangan hukum Islam. Pengembangan teori-teori maqashid al-shariah mengilhami filsafat hukum Islam dan menjadi pangkal berpikir serta analisis yang pokok untuk pengembangan pemikiran hukum Islam pada era globalisasi dan perubahan sosial sekarang ini. Kedua, maqāşid al-sharīah dalam membangun ekonomi shariah. Teori maqāşid al-sharīah menempati posisi yang sangat sentral dan vital dalam merumuskan metodologi pengembangan ekonomi shariah. Dalam konteks ekonomi shariah, tujuan maqāşid al-sharīah adalah menjaga kemaslahatan manusia. Seorang muslim didorong untuk memproduksi dan mengkonsumsi barang/jasa tentu dengan pertimbangan kemaslahatan.

Introduction. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which spread around the world in early 2020, special attention is paid to external transformations in human life: forced staying at home, using personal protective equipment in public places, social distance, etc. Nevetheless, the inner world of a man is susceptible to serious transformations. Another necessary element that structures the world of self (J. Deleuze’s point of view) is turning into a potential carrier of the virus. Therefore, the problem of human reflection with the goal of taking care of oneself in a crisis situation is of particular relevance. The aim of the study is to substantiate the effectiveness of spiritual practices of the period of Antiquity and the early Middle Ages as forms of caring of the internal in a person in the pandemic. Methods. The author uses general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction. In addition, a comparative historical method, an interpretation method and a systematic approach are applied. With the help of the dialectical approach, the connection between the external and the internal in a person was designated. Scientific novelty of the study. Three scenarios of human responses to self-isolation in the context of an event (external) – meaning (internal) are outlined: orientation to an external event; creating an external event; appeal to the self. Results. In the context of self-isolation, staying alone with himself, a person faced a problem, a crisis of identity (empirical evidence for this problem was provided by psychologists and psychotherapists in Chelyabinsk and the Chelyabinsk region). This problem is due to the fact that the pandemic has reduced many of the person’s connections with the outside world (work, study, relationships with friends and relatives) and / or transferred them to a remote format. Therefore, consciously or optionally, at the level of an unreasonable request, a person has a need to rethink his self. Rethinking is a reflexive procedure when a person re-learns to communicate with his self. M. Foucault analyzed and systematized examples of spiritual work with I, looking into the practices of care of the self in ancient thinkers’ and early Christians’ studies. Conclusion. The COVID-19 virus has made significant adjustments to human life. No less adjustments were made to the events (F. Girenok) that fill the life of a person. A man’s replies to changes in his being can be laid between two poles: event and meaning. Even while at home, many continue to focus on the external, creating something of their own (for example, audiovisual production) or consuming the results of others. At the same time, orientation to meaning involves focusing on oneself. Philosophers and theologians who practiced self-care about two millennia ago, proposed different forms of reflection, pursuing one goal, to learn to talk with oneself.

This study wants to explore the story of Prophet Moses and Khidr as figures of adult education in the perspective of Islamic education. The main issue of this study is how the concept of adult education in the perspective of Islamic education is able to increase the spectrum space of andragogical education. By using content analysis and narrative approaches that are primarily sourced QS. al-Kahfi: 60-82, this study seeks to show the values of Islamic education that are based on the theory of andragogical education. The characterization of Moses and Khidr as a figure of andragogical education is: Moses is present as the subject of andragogical education which has a sense of curiosity and Khidr as an object, a figure who has ladunni knowledge and high spiritual abilities. Through the method of lecture, discussion and demonstration, Musa-Khidr's narrative dialogue shows adult learning that contains the values of Islamic education, namely the moral value between teacher and student and morality in learning. The implication of this paper is an effort to contribute to scientific repertoire in the world of education as one of the dimensions of the naratological miracles of the Qoran.

The purpose of this scientific article is revealing the phenomenon of phantasmagoria and its embodiment in the chosen theatrical genre. The round of investigative methods in relation to this research consists next sequence. There are historical method for detailed examining the phenomenon of phantasmagoria in art and the structural-analytical method when referring to the musical text of particular individual scenes into the opera-ballet „Viy”. We are also emphasizing the comparative scientific method for the proportional characterization of the artistic novel by celedrated and well-known writer N. Gogol as well as the opera-ballet by outstanding contemporary Ukrainian musician, composer and pedagogue V. Gubarenko. The scientific novelty in reference to above-mentioned investigative thematic vector lies in the identification of the concepts relatively „phantasmagoria” and „double world” in famous artistic literature, renowned academy music and scenography, which lead to the discovery of brilliant phenomena such as simultaneity, editing drama as well as polystylistics. Conclusions. The double peace that Gogol is implies to be present in popular Gubarenko’s musical work from the beginning. Simultaneity, as a psychological category, pervades both literary and musical-dramatic work. Nevertheless, with Gubarenko it seems to be enlarge, artistic increase at times and grows into a dramatic means, bright creates not only an atmosphere of phantasmagoric horror, but also unforgettable artistic impressions of an extraordinary work of musical art. The stage production allows us the more clearly revealing the Gogol mansion and to emphasize the main points that we can only guess in the story. There is no center in the created world of V. Gubarenko, and therefore there are no ordinary borders.
