A novel titled BumiCinta written by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy takes place in the Russian setting, in which Russia is a country that adopts freedom. Russia with various religions embraced by its people has called for the importance of human freedom. Free sex in Russia is commonplace among its young people. Russia is a country that is free with no rules, no wonder if there have been many not embracing certain religion. In fact, according to data Russia is a country accessing the largest porn sites in the world. Habiburrahman in his Bumi Cinta reveals some religious aspects. He incorporates the concept of religion with social conflicts in Russia. Therefore, the writer reveals two fundamental issues, namely: 1. What is the characters' religiosity in the Habiburrahman El-Shirazy'sBumiCinta? 2. What is the characters' religiosity in the BumiCinta in their relationship with God, fellow human beings, and nature ?. To achieve the objectives, the writer uses the religious literary criticism based on the Qur'an and Hadith. It emphasizes religious values in literature. The writer also uses the arguments of scholars and schools of thought to strengthen this paper. This theory is then used to seek the elements of religiousity in the Habiburrahman El-Shirazy'sBumiCinta. In this novel, the writer explains there are strong religious elements and religious effects of its characters, especially the belief in God, faith and piety

The chapter argues that in human relations with technology, assumptions about ourselves are just as crucial as assumptions about technology. Neither the optimistic traditional humanist belief in human freedom and autonomy, nor the pessimistic view that humans are necessarily anthropocentric, will do for building sound relations with technology. The chapter develops this argument through three debates. First, Heidegger’s antihumanism, in which humans do not have any agency in their relations with technology, may not be convincing, yet lack of control is still a relevant theme. Second, the section on evolutionary humanism (turning to transhumanism and AI) shows that humans now often look vulnerable rather than masterful in their relations with technology. Third, Anthropocene debates tend to rest on bleak views of human beings, so that hard-to-control technologies may then seem to be our only hope. The chapter argues for a need to develop more detailed insights into how we function by facing and exploring our weaknesses and vulnerabilities, as well our under-recognized abilities for responsibility. This may open perspectives on more modest and entangled forms of agency, more humane technologies, and more de-centered relations with nature.

Physical Boundary

Starting from the issue where there is a physical boundary that separates the world of life and the world of death which gives a bad impression of death. Living humans can perform rituals to interact spiritually with the world of the dead. From this it can be said that there are still opportunities for interaction between the living world and the world of death. Utilization of technology is applied in the design of projects to create architecture that becomes a container where interactions occur between the living world and the world of death. The world of death will mingle with visitors and vice versa so that interaction occurs. Carrying the theme ‘Third Place” in the proposed project design concept, the design of the columbarium will not be closed. Columbarium can be used as an architectural space that can be enjoyed by the community without exception. Interaction not only occurs with fellow human beings who are still alive, but also can occur with those who have died with the help of existing technology. With this view of the closed columbarium  can be removed. Keywords:  Columbarium; Death; Interaction; Life Abstrak Berawal dari isu dimana terdapat sebuah batasan secara fisik yang memisahkan antara dunia kehidupan dan dunia kematian yang menimbulkan kesan yang tidak baik terhadap kematian. Manusia yang masih hidup dapat melakukan ritual untuk berinteraksi secara rohani dengan dunia kematian. Dari hal ini dapat dikatakan bahwa masih terdapat peluang untuk terjadinya interaksi antara dunia kehidupan dan dunia kematian. Pemanfaatan teknologi diterapkan dalam perancangan proyek untuk menciptakan arsitektur yang menjadi wadah dimana terjadi interaksi antara dunia kehidupan dan dunia kematian. Dunia kematian akan berbaur dengan pengunjung dan sebaliknya sehingga terjadi interaksi. Membawa tema “Third Place” dalam konsep perancangan proyek yang diusulkan, perancangan rumah abu tidak akan bersifat tertutup. Rumah abu dapat dijadikan sebagai ruang arsitektur yang dapat dinikmati oleh masyarakat tanpa terkecuali. Interaksi tidak hanya terjadi dengan sesama manusia yang masih hidup, tetapi juga dapat terjadi dengan mereka yang sudah meninggal dengan bantuan teknologi yang ada. Dengan ini pandangan terhadap rumah abu yang bersifat tertutup dapat dihilangkan.

The position that the Qur'an allocates to animals has been studied either according to the principles of internal criticism, or within the framework of theologians’ reception of the Qur'an. Departing from these two options, this paper will draw a comparison with the Mufaḍḍaliyyāt, an anthology gathering poems relatively near to the Qur'an in space and time. It will be shown that neither poetry nor the Qur'an possess a word that refers to animals as a class, but the latter sketches a cursory categorisation system of the living world. In contrast to widespread opinion, the poets are not more meaningfully interested in animals, with the noticeable exception of mounts, than the sacred book. Furthermore, network modelling enables us to discover that both documents depict sharply contrasting bestiaries. We should therefore revise the generally accepted idea that the Qur'an appeared in a Bedouin society similar to that of the poets. However, close textual comparison between the representation of animals in the Qur'an and the poems in the Mufaḍḍaliyyāt gives us a better understanding of Q. 22:27, which would not be possible without recourse to poetry.

Natural law links moral and legal theory with natural theology and science. It is critical to thinking about God’s sovereignty and human freedom. Tracing the roots of the natural law idea, I defend the approach against conventionalism and legal positivism. For they leave human norms ungrounded. Chapter 7 opens by disarming Hume’s elenchus about ‘is’ and ‘ought’. I do not deny the reality of a naturalistic fallacy, but I do argue that facts make rightful claims on us and that the unity of reality and value central to Jewish thinking and to the philosophical great tradition does not confuse facts with values but does appreciate the preciousness of being—of life and personhood most pointedly. Once again here transcendence consorts with immanence. For we find God’s law writ subtly in nature, not least when we discover what it means to perfect ourselves as loving and creative human beings.

The Temple

Smith culminated his metaphysics of translation in the rites of the Nauvoo temple in the early 1840s. The temple rites were a striking combination of Smith’s targums, the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, Freemasonry, ancient mystery religions, and his sense about the connections of humans and texts. This liturgy was Smith’s final rereading of the Hebrew Bible’s primeval history, and it pulled his followers to Eden and thence to heaven as transformed, divine beings. These rites were an apotheosis not just of Smith’s followers but also of his metaphysics of translation. In the temple, Smith worked to define space and time in terms of human beings. In an echo of Hebrew genealogies, Smith measured time in parental bonds effected by a force he called priesthood. These bonds at the base of time tied God to humanity and humans to each other.

People’s ability to participate in the activities that are necessary to ensure their economic, political and social participation in the society in which they live is dependent upon the accessibility of the activities. Accessibility has traditionally been perceived as a function of the space, or distance, between the origin of the individual (or community) and the destination of the activity¾the opportunity, service, social network, goods¾alongside the time that it takes to cross this space. Thus, accessibility is dependent upon the individual’s ability to overcome space and time barriers, allowing them to reach the right place or person, at the right time¾and, of course, upon the availability to them of adequate resources to do this (Couclelis, 2000)1.

In no other time in human history has the relationship between human beings, and the biosphere on which we depend, been fraught with such a sense of urgency. Responding to the imminent threat of climate change has focussed our attention on education. There has been a proliferation of international, national and regional programs designed to change attitudes, behaviours, and beliefs associated with the causes of climate change. This paper will look to phenomenology and pedagogy to attempt describe the experience of climate and to help us consider how we may allow the young to live in a time of inevitable climate disruption while  nurturing what seems to come to them naturally, an embodied integration into the wonder and awe of the places they live.  Also, this paper explores two dominant approaches to climate change education and asks how these approaches articulate an understanding of the essential relationship between humans and the larger living world as reflected through changing climatic conditions.

History Of

John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost (1667) offers a highly creative seventeenth-century reconstruction of the doctrine of predestination, a reconstruction which both anticipates modern theological developments and sheds important light on the history of predestinarian thought. Moving beyond the framework of post-Reformation controversies, the poem emphasises both the freedom and the universality of electing grace, and the eternally decisive role of human freedom in salvation. The poem erases the distinction between an eternal election of some human beings and an eternal rejection of others, portraying reprobation instead as the temporal self-condemnation of those who wilfully reject their own election and so exclude themselves from salvation. While election is grounded in the gracious will of God, reprobation is thus grounded in the fluid sphere of human decision. Highlighting this sphere of human decision, the poem depicts the freedom of human beings to actualise the future as itself the object of divine predestination. While presenting its own unique vision of predestination, Paradise Lost thus moves towards the influential and distinctively modern formulations of later thinkers like Schleiermacher and Barth.

There is a need of deeper understanding of what human beings are for facing adequately global challenges. The aim of this article is to point to the possible contributions that transcendental anthropology would represent for complementing and expanding the valuable, but still incomplete solutions put forward by personalist virtue ethics to face these challenges. In particular, the question of the moral motivation and the complex relations between virtue and freedom are addressed, taking as a starting point the understanding of the uniqueness of the personal act-of-being and the transcendentality of human freedom, which is in dialogue with human nature and society, but ultimately not subdued to none of them. Some implications of the transcendental anthropology in the field of interpersonal communication ethics are put forward.
