<strong>Abstract</strong><br />Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s thoughts and activities on da’wah had been an unique model of the responses to western modernization in Turkey after the declining Ottoman Empire in nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Nursi intended to provide an Islamic answer based on Qoranic values to the attacks of westernization and secularization by several strategies of da‘wah with using cultural and political approach. He also had used special methods which can be summarized with three phrases: mânevi jihad (jihad of the word), publicated writings, and positive action. His thoughts and activities on da‘wah had impacted strongly on rising The Nur Community (Nurculuk) as the most significant religious and social movement with millions of adherents and a strong institusional system throughout the country. The Nur Community had published largely Nursi‘s thoughts round of the world and paid attention to realize his Risale-i Nur’s doctrines in serving of all human being in their daily life in the modern era.

Resumo: O estudo apresenta duas ideias cruciais de Rubem Alves para o estudo teológico dos bens artístico-culturais da cultura pop: as estórias como invocações da vida e a teologia como atividade inerente ao ser humano. A primeira ideia remete à centralidade da narrativa no processo de constituição do mundo humano e na manutenção e contínua reinvenção deste, influindo na própria identidade do ser humano, em sua interpretação do mundo e das relações, na partilha de um universo simbólico-cultural, enfim, em sua própria biografia. A segunda ideia remete à atividade teológica enquanto faculdade inerente ao ser humano. Nessa perspectiva, Rubem Alves amplia a compreensão de teologia – usualmente entendida como estudo (acadêmico) sobre a divindade, para a dimensão humana existencial profunda da busca por sentido.

Said Nursi

<p><em>One of the prominent factor leading to the continuing decline of the Muslim Ummah is rivalry between scientific mind and traditional mind-set. The modern Muslim intellectuals are fascinated by scientific developments in the West and discouraged by the inability of Ummah. The process of re-emergence as developed community is imbedded in re-Islamization of scientific knowledge. The rise of Muslim Ummah is tied with integration of Shari’ah based knowledge and scientific knowledge. The focus of the Muslim intellectual pursuits must once again gravitate towards these two fountains of true knowledge. To achieve this goal, Said Nursi a versatile personality, a true representative of Islam came with all-inclusive ideas for integration of both the knowledge’s. He advocates the Qur’anic Scientism and discussed faith based research (iman tahqiqi) relying on positive action (jihad Manaavi) in Risal-i Nur. In this paper an Attempt has been made to acme the Qur’anic Scientism in Risal-i- Nur, to prove Qur’anic Scientism highly applicable while as Said Nursi as admirably a true representative of Qur’anic Message in the modern era.</em></p>

Islam, in the view of several nations, especially the western orientalists, who regard Islam as a barrier in the mission of civilization, especially secularist ideologies, have succeeded in trapping Muslim societies into the wrong paradigm in the implementation or practice of religion. This ideology makes a dichotomy in thought for adherents of Islamic teachings by providing an understanding of the separation of the principle of life between the world and the hereafter, general knowledge with religious knowledge, between the physical and spiritual realm. Even though the two are a unified whole and inseparable. Because the presence of religion is a refinement in all dimensions of human life. The formation of a mindset that for someone who wants to succeed in his life, then there is no need to run a world case. Vice versa. Though both are running in balance and together. Al-Quran gives a clear picture, even has become a prayer in daily life as written; "Robbanaa aatina fiddunya hasanah, wafi aahiroti hasanah, waqinaa adzaa bannar" [O Lord, we give goodness to the world and the hereafter and save us from painful adzab]. In connection with the foregoing, sport, which is part of the secularist insulating solution from the point of view of values, is the philosophy of life of every human being.

Philosophies of Gratitude is a study of gratitude as a philosophical concept. It explores what philosophers from Aristotle to Kant have said about gratitude, and examines what role the idea of gratitude has played in their philosophies. It also looks at the three primary ways we think about gratitude—as an emotion we feel in response to a gift or benefit, as an act we perform to express our thankfulness, and as a virtuous disposition in which we are ready to be grateful to the world we inhabit. Like love and trust, gratitude is a way we react to other people in our lives, sometimes for who they are (lovable or trustworthy) and sometimes for what they do (act benevolently toward us). It is a way we feel and act toward others. It is a primary way we situate ourselves in relationships. Philosophies of Gratitude examines key historical moments when gratitude was an important philosophical concept—in classical antiquity, the early modern era, and the Enlightenment—in order to discover what gratitude meant for those who produced our fundamental Western notions of ethics. It then studies the forms gratitude assumes—as a feeling, act, disposition—to discern what role our emotions play in our ethical responses to the world. Finally, the book assesses what we can say about ingratitude as a response that usually strikes us as a moment when a human being fails to act morally, but may also sometimes indicate a deeper kind of ethical stand against injustice.

<div><p><strong>Abstract :</strong> Before modern era, religion became more dominant in daily life of human being because religion institution is the sole authority to dicide either religion aspect or scientific one. But in modern era, especially after some inventions of modern science and technology, secular scientist in the West very proud of his intellectual ability to explore the nature. They neglect religion and even accused religion as an opium and illusion. In fact, human being cannot free from believing in Supra Natural Being because even though in the atheist community still respect the spirit of ancestors. Therefore, every effort to attack religion will fail because religion could not separated from basic need of human being and religion is the the sole doctrin of life in hereafter.  Naisbitt, a famous futurolog, also declares that the spiritual of religion will become dominant in new era. </p><p><em>Keywords : Futurolog, knowledge, organized religion, fundamentalism</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak :</strong> Sebelum era modern, agama menjadi lebih dominan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari manusia karena institusi agama adalah otoritas tunggal untuk memutuskan, baik aspek agama atau yang ilmiah.

The fundamental principle of Hans Blumenberg’s concept of Modernity is “immanent self-assertion,” through which the modern human being identifies within itself the possibilities of transforming or re-constructing the world according to a human order. “Immanent self-assertion” is a product of human progress and is conditioned by the historical development of theoretical curiosity. In this article, it is argued that Blumenberg’s concept of Modernity is founded on a misinterpretation of Epicurean ataraxia, which is traditionally defined as “freedom from anxiety” and which Blumenberg himself characterizes as “dispassionate ease.” For Blumenberg, ataraxia epitomizes the limitations of theoretical curiosity before the modern era. Where Blumenberg identifies “immanent self-assertion” as the means of extending absolute influence over the world through the subjugation of nature, it is argued that Epicurean worldliness resides within a sense of self-mastery against the radical contingency of tuchē (for-tune) that defines the world order.Le principe fondamental du concept de modernité de Hans Blumen-berg est « l’affirmation de soi immanente», par laquelle l’être humain moderne identifie en lui-même les possibilités de transformer ou de reconstruire le monde selon l’ordre humain. « L’affirmation de soi immanente » est un produit du progrès humain, conditionnée par le développement historique de la curiosité théorique. Dans cet article, on avance que le concept de modernité de Blumenberg est fondé sur une interprétation erronée du ataraxia épicurien, défini traditionnellement comme « l’absence d’anxiété » et que Blumenberg lui-même qualifie de « facilité impartiale ». Pour Blumenberg, ataraxia incarne les limites de la curiosité théorique avant l'ère moderne. Là où Blumenberg identifie « l’affirmation de soi immanente » comme le moyen d'étendre une influence absolue sur le monde par la subjugation de la nature, il est soutenu que la mondanité épicurienne réside dans un sentiment de maîtrise de soi contre la contingence radicale de tuchē qui définit l'ordre mondial.

This paper will discuss about the possibility that cosmopolitanism as an idea might only exist as a myth. It begins by questioning the hypocrisy surrounding our everyday life where powerful countries preach about living in dignity but ended up taking away that very dignity itself. If cosmopolitanism is defined as an idea that give worth to every human being, no matter their affiliation, then the current state of the world does not reflect that idea at all. This paper will attempt to demystify the practice of cosmopolitanism in modern era. This paper then found that cosmopolitanism is basically a political project for the powerful to inject their idea into weaker actor, in order to create hegemony. Whether someone’s act can be considered cosmopolitan or not depends on their capability to exercise their power. In the end, this paper concludes that cosmopolitanism as a standard of morality does not exist in our world. A borderless world might exist, but it is up to the powerful to decide who can live in it. For most people, cosmopolitanism remains a myth that could never bring salvation.  Kata kunci: Cosmopolitanism, Morality, Hegemony.

Filistin tarihinde yaşanan 1948 ve 1967 savaşları, binlerce Filistinlinin başka ülkelere göç etmesine neden olmuştur. Günümüzde, dünya genelinde yaşayan Filistinli mülteci sayısının beş milyonu aştığı tahmin edilmektedir. Ülkelerine geri dönemeyen Filistinlilerin mültecilik deneyimleri uzun bir geçmişe sahiptir ve köklerinden koparılma duygusu ile iç içe geçmiştir. Mersin’de bulunan Filistinlilerin zorunlu olarak çıktıkları göç yollarında yaşadıklarının ve mülteci olarak günlük hayatta karşılaştıkları zorlukların Filistinli kimlikleri üzerindeki etkisi sözlü tarih yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Farklı kuşaklardan sekiz Filistinli mülteci ile yapılan görüşmelerde, dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde mülteci olarak yaşama deneyiminin, Filistinlilerin ulusal bağlılıklarına zarar vermediği görülmüştür. Filistin, mültecilerin yaşamlarında gelenekler, değerler ve duygusal bağlar ile devam etmektedir. Mültecilerin Filistin’den ayrılırken yanlarına aldıkları anahtar, tapu ve toprak gibi nesnelerin saklanıyor olması, Filistin’e olan bağlılığın devam ettiğinin işaretlerinden biridir.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHPalestinian refugees’ lives in MersinIn the history of Palestine, 1948 and 1967 wars have caused fleeing of thousands of Palestinians to other countries.
