Lambakan filem daripada Barat di Malaysia mencetuskan kebimbangan dalam kalangan masyarakat. Hal ini kerana pembikinan filem-filem tersebut bukanlah sekadar cerita, namun sarat dengan elemen falsafah dan budaya daripada Barat, tidak terkecuali juga elemen agama. Perkara ini secara tidak langsung memberikan pengaruh yang cukup besar terhadap pemikiran dan pegangan umat Islam terutama kepada golongan yang belum memiliki akidah yang mantap terutama kanak-kanak. Kajian ini bertujuan mengkaji konsep pengakhiran dunia menurut kefahaman Barat dalam filem bertajuk “Terminator Salvation”. Kajian yang menggunakan pendekatan kajian perpustakaan ini menyoroti dan menyelami kandungan yang terdapat dalam filem ini dan menghubungkaitkan dengan konsep pengakhiran dunia menurut kefahaman agama yang dianuti di Barat. Hasil kajian mendapati babak-babak dalam filem ini mempunyai kaitan yang signifikan dengan pengakhiran dunia menurut ajaran yang pelbagai, saling bercampur aduk seperti Kristian, Yahudi dan lain-lain; tanda-tanda kedatangan kiamat, konsep salvation, kedatangan Mesiah, dan tarikh perkiraan berlakunya kiamat. Kajian ini berperanan penting dalam membongkar agenda tersembunyi khususnya dalam usaha menyebarkan ideologi-ideologi Barat ke dunia Islam.Abstract: The glut of western movies in Malaysia raised an alarm among the society. The movies depicted not only fictional stories, but they were heavily clouded by western philosophy and culture, including religion. This phenomenon indirectly influenced the thoughts and belief of the Muslims especially those who have yet established strong religious stand such as children. This paper examined the end of the world concept based on western thought in the movie “Terminator Salvation”. This library research scrutinized the content of the movie and related it to the end of the world concept as understood in religious thought in the West. The outcome of the study showed many significant scenes that depicted the end of the world according to various teaching which jumbled together like Christianity, Jews and extra; such as the signs of Armageddon, the concept of Salvation, the appearance of Jesus Christ, and the approximate date of the doomsday. This paper exposed the hidden agenda explicitly in part of disseminating western ideologies to Islam world.

Kyoto School Of Philosophy

During the past few decades a growing interest in what is often called the ‘Kyoto School’ of philosophy has evidenced itself here and there in the West, especially in discussions of comparative religious thought and in the pages of journals which are sensitive, in the post-colonial world, to the value of giving attention to contemporary thought that originates outside the Anglo-American and continental contexts. What has made the so-called Kyoto School especially interesting is the fact that those thinkers identified with it obviously possess a wide acquaintance with Western thought but also have a programme of clarifying points at which they, as Japanese philosophers, find Western philosophy either in sum or in its parts inadequate or objectionable. Moreover, inasmuch as the philosophers of the Kyoto School have deliberately reached back into the Mahayana Buddhist component in Japanese civilization in order to find terms, perspectives, and even foundations for their own analyses and constructions, Western students of comparative religion and comparative thought have in the study of this school a unique aperture for observing how a group of thinkers, while sharing modernity and its problems with us, reates both of these to a religious tradition which is in many ways strikingly different from that of the West.

Geological Period

There is something more catastrophic than the end of the world, especially when ‘world’ is understood as the horizon of meaning and expectation that has composed the West. If the Anthropocene is the geological period marking the point at which the earth as a living system has been altered by ‘anthropos,’ the Trumpocene marks the twenty-first-century recognition that the destruction of the planet has occurred by way of racial violence, slavery and annihilation. Rather than saving the world, recognizing the Trumpocene demands that we think about destroying the barbarism that has marked the earth.

End Of The World

This conversation between Zygmunt Bauman and Aleksandra Kania picks up on the themes of crisis, interregnum and the decline of the West. Decline of the West is first of all decline of western civilization. This easily leads to panic about the end of the world; what it really indicates is the limits and constraints of a world system based on nation-states. Spengler and Elias are introduced as interlocutors, in order to open these issues, and those of capitalism, socialism and caesarism. Trump here appears as a wilfully decisionist leader. Populism plays its part, but illiberalism now overpowers neoliberalism. Bauman and Kania engage in this text as interlocutors; this is a record of their own dialogue, and a reminder of its possibilities.

Dalam konteks kekinian, kajian-kajian tentang kecerdasan masih tetap didominasi oleh penemuan-penemuan Barat, padahal dalam Islam tidaklah menutup kemungkinan persoalan ini terekam dalam sumber ajaran Islam secara rapi. Untuk mengetahui itu, dalam tulisan ini akan diulas dengan metode library research untuk mengungkap bagaimana kecerdasan guru perspektif Barat dan Islam. Kecerdasan merupakan daya dalam diri manusia yang mempengaruhi kemampuan seseorang di berbagai bidang.

Philosophy is called darsanas in Sanskrit language. Hindu Philosophy is the group of darsanas that emerged in ancient Indian sub-continent which also includes present Nepal. It dates back as much earlier than the western philosophy. It includes two philosophies: Astika and Nastika. Astika includes 6 systems: Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa and Vedanta. Among them, Nyaya deals with logic and reasoning. According to Nyaya Philosophy, there are four means of valid reasoning (pramana) that, according to it, help one to release from suffering. They are: Perception, Inference (Anumana), Comparison and Testimony. Among them, this paper is going to illustrate on Anumana and Inference of two Philosophies and its types and kinds. It denotes the early civilizations and helps to identify how logic was developed in East as well as in the West. And it helps to distinguish how the conclusion was made on these two parts of the world. However, this article is limited to anumana of Nyaya philosophy while other 5 systems of Astika also contain anumana.

Persuasive Speech

This chapter discusses the Old Rhetoric, sketching the long persistence in the West—from Aristotle to the early twentieth century—of a ‘single meaning model’ of language, one that takes ambiguity for granted as an obstacle to persuasive speech and clear philosophical analysis. In Aristotle's works are the seeds of three closely related traditions of Western thought on ambiguity: the logicosemantic, the rhetorical, and the hermeneutic. The first seeks to eliminate ambiguity from philosophy because it hinders a clear analysis of the world. The second seeks to eliminate ambiguity from speech because it hinders the clear and persuasive communication of argument. The third, an extension of the second, seeks to resolve textual ambiguity because it hinders the reader's ability to grasp the writer's intention. The chapter then considers Aristotle's two types of verbal ambiguity: homonym and amphiboly. The solution to both—whether their presence in a discussion is accidental or deliberate—is what Aristotle calls diairesis or distinction, that is, the explicit clarification of the different meanings involved.

Positive Work

This paper examines the position of philosophy in Africa from the time African and expatriate philosophers engaged in the debate on whether or not there was a uniquely African Philosophy. I argue that where this debate, prompted by the earlier writings of some colonial anthropologists, was going on, there was serious teaching, although not writing, of Western Philosophy. Major writings focused on the African Philosophy question. However, positive work was done after the publication of positive work on African Philosophy, leading to the abandonment of serious publication on Western Philosophy. In spite of this, the presence of expatriate staff in many departments of philosophy between 1975 and 1984 led to great expectations of the discipline on the African continent, as shown in my published work in 1987. Unfortunately, philosophy in Africa has been deteriorating since the end of the 1980's due to neglect and lack of funding by military governments (e.g., Nigeria). In addition to the bad economic situation which led to an exodus of prominent philosophers from Africa to the West, pioneering philosophers have retired and died. These unfortunate developments leave a bleak future for philosophy in Africa, as there may be no experienced philosophers to supervise undergraduate students, leaving a lack of viable replacements for the older philosophers. While resolution of this problem appears difficult, this paper is written in hope that the World Congress might intervene to counteract this desperate situation.

The main themes of the text, occasionally ascribed to Ezra (Salathiel), are the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the end of the world, the future rulers of Ethiopia, and the honouring of the Sabbaths. It is cast in the spirit of 4 Ezra, quoting it and Jubilees occasionally and extensively. As in 4 Ezra, its author is interested in knowing and declaring the future to call the faithful to observe the law and the ordinances. Reckoning the time by cycles, aqmar, provides him the revelation of future events ‘with exact dates’. The text, composed before the sixteenth century, is one more source of Gǝʿǝz apocalyptic literature. The article is an edition and translation of it as preserved in EMML 6429, fols 9v–39r.

Abstract This work sets out to consider the fate of creativity and forms of cultural production as they fall into and between the regimes of cultural heritage law and intellectual property law. It examines and challenges the dualisms that ground both regimes, exposing their (unsurprising) reflection of occidental ways of seeing the world. The work reflects on the problem of regulating creativity and cultural production according to Western thought systems in a world that is not only Western. At the same time, it accepts that the challenge in taking on the dualisms that hold together the existing legal regimes regulating creativity and cultural production lies in a critically nuanced approach to the geo-political distinction between the West and the rest. Like many of the distinctions considered in this book, this is one that holds and does not hold.
