The Abolition of Man, though short in length and casual in tone, is among the most important books of the twentieth century. The reason it possesses such significance is that it reveals through penetrating analysis the contemporary sceptical assault on the very possibility of rational morality and, indeed, on the very meaning of human life. In meeting and overcoming this assault, Lewis embraces the concept of objective value. But this concept is itself under attack in modernity, most notably in Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. There is, however, an effective response to this withering onslaught. It is found in Michael Polanyi's ‘fiduciary’ philosophy. This study shows how Polanyi's account of justification inoculates Lewis' objective value against Nietzsche's virulent attack, thereby preserving the defence of meaning and morality that constitutes the essential contribution of The Abolition of Man.

God has made man with the instinctive love of justice in him,which gradually gets developed in the world …. I do not pretendto understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eyereaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and completethe figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience.And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.Theodore Parker (1853)A strange mystery it is that Nature, omnipotent but blind, in therevolutions of her … hurryings through the abysses of space, hasbrought forth at last a child, subject still to her power, but giftedwith sight, with knowledge of good and evil, with the capacity ofjudging all the works of his unthinking mother. [Gradually, asmorality grows bolder, the claim of the ideal world begins to befelt, [giving rise to the claim] that, in some hidden manner, theworld of fact is really harmonious with the world of ideals. Thusman creates God, all-powerful and all-good, the mystic unity ofwhat is and what should be.

The essay discusses popular rationalistic interpretation of stoic spiritual practices as rational control over nonrational aspects of human life. On the course of analyzing ancient stoics texts and recommendations concerning a good life the essay proves that the word “controlling” is not really proper translation of stoic intentions. Much better picture is of reason that takes care of condition of body and soul, or of reason that follows body and soul. Stoic reason is a tool for understanding and nursing nod controlling. Thus the ideal for stoic life is not reason but harmony, which is the best way of translating ancient Greek word tonos.

The exchange of information from one place to another becomes easier not only for national scoped but also the international scope. Moreover, it makes the foreign culture can easily enter Indonesia, imitated by society and then give impact to the life style of the society including human’s behaviour. It can be said that there is a moral swing in Indonesia nowadays. Many young people are not really enthusiastic in keeping their own culture. They tend to imitate other cultures, behave inappropriately, use illegal drugs, do free sex, bully each other, make genk, scuffle, and even kill people. One of the reasons of this morality crisis is the exemplary crisis. Adults who are supposed to be role models for the younger generation even provide bad examples such as doing corruption, being selfish and do individualist practices of corruption, collusion and nepotism, mutual checks, doing violence such as grabbing, punching and other crimes.Therefore, the government makes effort to overcome the moral crisis through character education or Budi pekerti education. Basically character education is not new concept, Ki Hajdar Dewantara has designed character education since a long time through its principles, foundations, concepts and teachings about Tamansiswa. The principles and teaching can be implemented to toddlers, children, and adolescents until adults. Through the method of literature analysis, this paper seeks to examine and explore more deeply about the character education which designed according to the teaching of Ki HadjarDewantara. Character education designed according to Ki Hadjar Dewantara applied through basic and teaching of Tamansiswa. Basic Tamansiswa includes Panca Dharma that is Nature of universe, Independence, Culture, Nationality and Humanity. While Tamansiswa teaching includes Tri Ngo (ngerti, ngroso, lan nglakoni), Tri N (niteni, niroke, nambahi), Tri Hayu) and most importantly the Trilogi Kepemimpinan (ing ngarso sung tulodho, ing madyo mangun karso, tutwuri handayani), all of them are implemented in Tri Pusat Pendidikan  (family, school and community). Abstrak: Teknologi modern membuat gaya hidup manusia juga berubah selama perkembangan zaman. Pertukaran informasi dari satu tempat ke tempat lain menjadi lebih mudah tidak hanya untuk lingkup nasional tetapi juga ruang lingkup internasional. Selain itu, membuat budaya asing dapat dengan mudah masuk ke Indonesia, ditiru oleh masyarakat dan kemudian memberi dampak pada gaya hidup masyarakat termasuk perilaku manusia. Dapat dikatakan bahwa ada ayunan moral di Indonesia saat ini. Banyak anak muda tidak benar-benar antusias dalam menjaga budaya mereka sendiri. Mereka cenderung meniru budaya lain, berperilaku tidak semestinya, menggunakan obat-obatan terlarang, melakukan seks bebas, saling menggertak, membuat genk, perkelahian, dan bahkan membunuh orang. Salah satu alasan krisis moralitas ini adalah krisis yang patut dicontoh. Orang dewasa yang seharusnya menjadi panutan bagi generasi muda bahkan memberikan contoh buruk seperti melakukan korupsi, menjadi egois dan melakukan praktik individualis korupsi, kolusi dan nepotisme, saling memeriksa, melakukan kekerasan seperti menyambar, meninju dan kejahatan lainnya. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah berupaya mengatasi krisis moral melalui pendidikan karakter atau pendidikan Budi pekerti. Pada dasarnya pendidikan karakter bukanlah konsep baru, Ki Hajdar Dewantara telah merancang pendidikan karakter sejak lama melalui prinsip-prinsipnya, yayasan, konsep dan ajaran tentang Tamansiswa. Prinsip-prinsip dan pengajaran dapat diimplementasikan untuk balita, anak-anak, dan remaja sampai dewasa. Melalui metode analisis pustaka, makalah ini berusaha untuk meneliti dan menggali lebih dalam tentang pendidikan karakter yang dirancang sesuai dengan ajaran Ki HadjarDewantara. Pendidikan karakter dirancang sesuai dengan Ki Hadjar Dewantara yang diterapkan melalui dasar dan pengajaran Tamansiswa. Tamansiswa Dasar meliputi Panca Dharma yaitu Alam semesta, Kemerdekaan, Kebudayaan, Kebangsaan, dan Kemanusiaan. Sementara ajaran Tamansiswa mencakup Tri Ngo (ngerti, ngroso, lan nglakoni), Tri N (niteni, niroke, nambahi), Tri Hayu) dan yang paling penting Trilogi Kepemimpinan (ing ngarso sung tulodho, ing madyo mangun karso, tutwuri handayani), semua dari mereka diimplementasikan di Tri Pusat Pendidikan (keluarga, sekolah dan masyarakat).

The essence of personality potential is one of the important characteristics of understanding a person as an integral being, creating an individual space of personal aspirations and values. The origins of the problem under consideration in various forms are present in the philosophical reflections of many researchers and have a long history. Even Socrates, Plotinus, Cicero, Thomas Aquinas drew attention to the deep foundations and spiritual essence of man, to the presence of virtues in a state of potential stagnation, to the need for their development in order to achieve the ideal of perfection. N. Kuzansky, S. L. Frank, P. I. Tillich noted the presence of latent force unfolding in time in living beings, the rejection of the self and introduction into something higher, the correlation of the divine and the human, the interconnection of things and events, etc. The modern world actualizes the solution to the problem, creating conditions for a deeper understanding of the potential, consideration of its integrity and the essential foundations of maximum realization. The crisis in all spheres of human life, economic, political, social, requires a quantum leap in understanding the potential and building, on the basis of modern studies of the phenomenon, new projects for transforming reality. In this regard, understanding the historical aspect of studying the logic of the genesis of potential makes an invaluable contribution to solving this problem. Understanding the depth of philosophical thought in a historical retrospective about the origin, emergence and existence of potential will allow you to connect the past and the present, as well as qualitatively advance into the future.
