As mentioned in the Kalahavivada Sutta of the Suttanipāta, out of liking and disliking (sātaṃ asātanti ) people speak in the world; and finally they are entrapped in desire (chando). If they have desire, when they see the appearing and disappearing of material things (rūpesu disvā vibhavaṃ bhavañca), they will make various judgments in this world (vinicchayaṃ kubbati jantu loke). Further, these conditions will lead to unending quarrels and disputes. How is liking and disliking leading to conflict? How is the psychological process of it? The first question will be answered based on the Kalahavivada Sutta of the Suttanipāta, while the second question will be solved using the Abhidhammic analysis of mind process (citta vīthi). The examination based on these two methods will depict the clear picture of the psychological process of the arising of liking and disliking that lead to conflict. Through the understanding about the arising of liking and disliking, people are hoped to be more careful when they perceive everything through their senses. When they do so, they will perceive everything as they really are and as the result, liking and disliking can be reduced. In connection, it will lessen conflicts among human beings, and finally will be able to build peace and harmony in the society.

Do So

This article intends an orientation of readers to critical Indigenous feminist politics through a theorizing of and engagement with water as an analytic. To do so, it focuses on two solidifications of Indigenous feminist politics in the United States and Canada. The first concerns theory and method: What informs and distinguishes the articulation of a critical Indigenous feminist politics, with/from other feminisms? What difference does water make within that articulation? The second involves the junctures of the Flint water crisis and the #NODAPL action at Standing Rock: How did water bring people together, not just there but around the world? How does the coming together matter? The article presumes that gender is a core, constitutive aspect of Indigenous sovereignty, self-determination, and solidarity. It argues that water rests with women and women-identified individuals, and their social and cultural responsibilities to, and in, multiple kinds of relationships, which include other-than-human beings and involve other-than-seen realities.

Heidegger argues in The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics (FCM) that the world of Dasein is not a neat capsule of entities that are always available; it is ‘ruptured’ by a fundamental finitude that impels it to develop its own anchoring in physis. The temporality of human existence is staged against the backdrop of absolute, geological time, the time of earthly entities, insofar as human beings are finite organisms that are temporally bounded to a particular lifespan. But this ‘terrestrial’ time is discernible only from the perspective of a mode of being that takes time as such into account. Our conceptions of the dawn of time and the timespan of the earth, as Schalow says, always ‘derive their relevance from Dasein’s mode of historicalness, and ultimately, from the history of being itself. To the extent that we can refer to “geological time”, a time of the earth, the ability to do so still hinges upon the possibility of an awareness of such terrestrial origins, of the ...

Interdisciplinary Study

Posthumanism is a growing field of interdisciplinary study that has emerged, principally in the last 20 years, as a broad church which seeks to reconceptualize human beings’ relationships with the world. At its heart, Posthumanism seeks to destabilize and question the category of ‘human’, which it sees as having previously been treated as transcendent and ahistorical. In its place, the figure of the posthuman aims to capture the complex and situated nature of our species’ existence, outside traditional dichotomies like culture and nature, mind and body, person and environment, and so on. From animal studies (e.g. Despret 2016; Wolfe 2009), via a rekindled attention to the material world (Coole & Frost 2010) to the cutting edge of quantum physics (Barad 2007), Posthumanism draws on a diverse range of inspiration (Ferrando 2019). This diversity also covers a significant internal dissonance and difference, with some posthumanists taking relational approaches, others arguing for the essential qualities of things, some focusing primarily on material things without humans and others calling for explicitly feminist investigations.

Do So

When thinking about this editorial, we knew we wanted to say something about creativity. Working creatively is a valuable means of accessing embodied knowledge and new insights about ourselves, our practice and our workplace cultures that can be used to inform development and transformation. However, being new to writing editorials, we first decided to have a look back through the journal’s editorial archives and seek the wisdom of previous authors. In doing so, it was interesting to see that our first Academic Editor, Professor Jan Dewing, had written an editorial about being creative back in May 2012; we encourage you to have a look. Jan began: ‘Yet again I recently heard someone saying they weren’t a creative person... ’and this is something we both experience when working with others. Is this because the word creativity is perceived to refer to the arts – for example, crafting, painting, movement and music – rather than a broader understanding, as suggested by the dictionary definition below: ‘The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination ’(dictionary.com). Taking this more expansive perspective opens up the possibility for us all to perceive ourselves as inherently creative. It could be argued that this creativity has come to the fore as we have adapted to new ways of living and working during the Covid-19 pandemic. While this crisis has brought huge uncertainty and challenge right across the complex mix of health and social care services, what has been remarkable is the ability people have shown to change their ways of working, to seek solutions – and to do so at pace. We believe this reflects the creative nature of human beings/persons. Oliver (2009) argues that creativity is everywhere, as humans and the world are constantly engaged in a process of making. He contends that we should view creativity as ‘openness’, which is person-oriented (Massey and Munt, 2009). In this way, we create the possibility for participatory exploration of the social, cultural and embodied context, and for improvisation and transformation, by engaging in people’s ‘interests, curiosities and passions ’(Massey and Munt, 2009, p 305).

Globally, elderly population keeps increasing in numbers. Since 2015, Asian countries including Indonesia began entering ageing population. Humankind predicted to live longer. Nonetheless, they are mortal. Humankind is called Dasein (being in the world). The world is a concept, relationship between ourselves and objects or other human beings. Basically Dasein is actively involved with everyday objects. The essence of Dasein is it's active interpreting (constantly something to be settled) seeing as Dasein cannot be considered a finished whole, Dasein always looking for identity. Dasein’s being as a whole can only be disclosed by Dasein being dead, for they no longer exist in the world. According to 2005 Stanford research, the majority of elderly prefer contributing to society, and 30% proven to do so. The latest stage of man emotional development experienced by elderly, individually older than the age 60. Interacting with the younger generation would result in greater contentment and benefits each other. By providing a space to encounter other people with different ages, hopefully there will be exchange of experience, a legacy of life. Through the Horizon Senior Society, millennial generations can explore a dwelling story from the past to the present and the future.  Keywords:  Elderly; Death; Interaction; Dwelling. Abstrak Secara global, populasi lansia diprediksi terus mengalami peningkatan. Sejak tahun 2015 Benua Asia dan Indonesia memasuki era penduduk menua. Diprediksi manusia akan hidup lebih lama lagi. Manusia disebut sebagai Dasein (Ada-di-sana), yakni Ada-dalam-dunia (being-in-the-world). Dunia merupakan konsep dimensi hubungan antar diri sendiri dengan benda atau manusia lain. Dasein pada dasarnya terlibat secara aktif dengan objek keseharian. Esensi Dasein adalah suatu 'kebeluman terus menerus' karena ia tidak pernah mencapai keseluruhannya, selalu mewujudkan dan mencari jati diri. Manusia mencapai totalitasnya dalam kematian, karena manusia/dasein berhenti sebagai berada-di-dalam-dunia. Menurut riset Stanford tahun 2005, mayoritas lansia memilih untuk berkontribusi terhadap masyarakat, dan terbukti 30% sudah menjalaninya. Tahap akhir pengembangan emosi manusia dirasakan pada lansia umur 60 tahun ke atas. Berinteraksi dengan generasi muda akan memberi dampak rasa kepuasan yang lebih besar dan saling menguntungkan. Dengan memberikan wadah sebagai titik temu antar generasi, diharapkan terjadi sebuah transfer pengalaman akan legacy kehidupan. Melalui Horizon Senior Society, generasi milenial dapat menggali sebuah cerita dwelling masa lalu, ke masa kini dan masa depan.

Communal Organization

This paper shows how solidarity is one of the founding principles in Thomas More's Utopia (1516). In the fictional republic of Utopia described in Book II, solidarity has a political and a moral function. The principle is at the center of the communal organization of Utopian society, exemplified in a number of practices such as the sharing of farm work, the management of surplus crops, or the democratic elections of the governor and the priests. Not only does solidarity benefit the individual Utopian, but it is a prerequisite to ensure the prosperity of the island of Utopia and its moral preeminence over its neighboring countries. However, a limit to this principle is drawn when the republic of Utopia faces specific social difficulties, and also deals with the rest of the world. In order for the principle of solidarity to function perfectly, it is necessary to apply it exclusively within the island or the republic would be at risk. War is not out of the question then, and compassion does not apply to all human beings. This conception of solidarity, summed up as “Utopia first!,” could be dubbed a Machiavellian strategy, devised to ensure the durability of the republic. We will show how some of the recommendations of Realpolitik made by Machiavelli in The Prince (1532) correspond to the Utopian policy enforced to protect their commonwealth.

The article examines how selected works in Uganda’s first anthology of prison-authored work, As I Stood Dead before the World: Creative Writing from Luzira Prison (2018), handle one of the issues of paramount importance to inmates and their families: the possibility that convictions in courts of law are not foolproof since judicial officers are human beings and therefore susceptible to error. Drawing from four examples: two poems (Jackson O’s “Letter to Aber” and Sebuuma Gadafi’s “Twenty-Years”), one short story (Rachael Pearl Orishaba’s “A Secret”), and one short play (Jennifer Janette’s “What If It Wasn’t Kato?”), I show how different inmates imagine situations where judicial officers (prosecutors and magistrates/judges) make errors of judgement that see innocent people convicted of crimes they did not commit. The article closely reads the four selected pieces with the objective of investigating how creative writers can help judicial officers realise how important it is to turn every proverbial stone before a conviction is made.
