Ethics Of Responsibilities According To Emmanuel Levinas And Its Implications For Interfaith Dialogue: Christian Perspectives

Based on the literature study, this paper reveals that the ethical concept of Emmanuel Levinas’s responsibility has implications in the context of interfaith dialogue. By carrying out the theory of responsibility, which is based on authentic friendship, interfaith dialogue is not just a formality but is evidently a part of daily life. The results of this study indicate that a human being has never had a single, complete identity. Having known the multifaceted realm of one’s own identity, it seems that we tend to assume that “there are strangers” who dwell within us. Therefore we are invited to treat others as fellow human beings for the sake of God’s pleasure as He is the Creator of this life. Dengan menggunakan studi pustaka, tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep etika tanggung jawab Emmanuel Levinas memiliki implikasi dalam konteks dialog antaragama. Dengan mengusung teori tanggung jawab yang dilandasi oleh persahabatan yang otentik, dialog antariman tak hanya sekadar formalitas tetapi sungguh-sungguh menjadi bagian dari hidup keseharian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa seorang tidak pernah memiliki sebuah identitas tunggal di dalam dirinya. Dengan mengakui kemajemukan identitas yang ada pada diri, kita dipanggil untuk mengaku bahwa di dalam diri kita terdapat pula “wajah orang asing.” Itulah sebabnya sebagai pribadi kita diundang untuk memperlakukan “yang lain” sebagai sesama dan memperlakukan orang lain itu seolah-olah kita melakukannya untuk Tuhan, Sang Pencipta.

This paper considers the question “What is a psychological unit?”. The ubiquity of units in daily life and in science is considered. The assumption that the individual human being or animal is the psychological unit is examined and rejected. The units represented by the data collected in operant laboratories are interpreted as a subset of the well-defined changes that individual human beings or animals can bring about. The departure of this interpretation from the traditional interpretation in terms of the behaviour of the organism is acknowledged. The paper concludes by noting the relation of the present interpretation of operant research to the problem of identifying psychological units.

Religious Obligation

Harmony in religious life is an important phenomenon to note. Considering that several different religions have developed in Indonesia, it is necessary to apply the teachings of harmony theology. Community life under religious pluralism is not always harmonious. In daily life, several cases of disharmony of religious communities often occur. This disharmony occurs because of the lack of tolerance between religious people with one another. To bring back the attitude of tolerance, one needs to explore religious teachings. Thus, there is no longer a nerrow mind against Hindus. The theology of harmony in the Hindu perspective in this case seeks to provide teachings about the unity of mankind. In the Hindu perspective of harmony theology, every human being should respect his fellow human beings because they come from the same source, namely God. Harmony is a religious obligation and obedience to God, it is also a cultural guideline and customs. The synergy between the two has always greatly influenced people's perspectives and attitudes regarding various matters, including efforts to create a harmonious life in the midst of plurality.

The habit of doing good, habituation of respecting others, habituation of being honest, habituation not to be lazy, habituation of respecting time, and so on. All of that must be trained seriously and proportionately in order to achieve the ideal form and strength.

The Right

The enforcement of the death penalty in Indonesia has become a challenge for Indonesian Catholic Church in defending the dignity of human being and his right for life. Through a literature study, this article will highlight the rule of Catholic Church o death penalty and its implications for pastoral activities. The study argues that the dignity of human being is based on its nature as rational, free will and conscience creature. Moreover God has created human beings according to His own image and has redeemed them when destroyed by their own sins. Death penalty is essentially against the dignity of human being and human rights, especially the right to life. Therefore, its enforcement must consider the safety and protection of human rights. The death penalty is only allowed for extraordinary crimes against humanity and is carried out to protect the human rights of others as well as through fair, right and objective justice. The study concludes that in order to protect human rights and the dignity of human being in Indonesia, the Indonesian Catholic Church, through its pastoral works, must promote and defend the noble dignity of human beings and their right to life (pro life pastoral), carry out pastoral of forgiveness and of mercy to the setenced to death, criticize and oversee every trial which results in the death sentence to the defendant (critical prophetic pastoral).

Protecting nature means protecting the life of human beings because when the nature is destroyed, it eventually hampers the daily life of human individuals. Nature writers have honestly recognized the value of nature to encourage people to love it and understand its value. Living beings undergo several experiences in the company of nature and they maintain their miseries and happiness which come side by side. Therefore, it is essential that human beings must honestly attempt to strengthen their understanding with the environmental issues.

Reason And Faith

Reason is the nature of human beings and those who are religious also have faith. Therefore, believers have two fundamental basics in their life: reason and faith. In the reality, some people believe that reason and faith are two separate contradictory entities that form dichotomy or dualism. This article discusses the existence of reason in human being and its relationship with faith in religious people in accordance with the ancient and modern writings. The method used in this research is source methodology which is combined with a literature study to achieve the purpose of the research which is to show how reason deepens and enlightens the faith. The result of this research shows that reason and faith are harmonious and supportive of each other in the practice of religious life; they do not create dichotomy or dualism but harmony. Abstrak Nalar adalah salah satu kodrat manusia dan mereka yang beragama juga memiliki iman. Oleh sebab itu umat beriman memiliki dua hal mendasar di dalam dirinya, yaitu nalar dan iman. Dalam kenyataan tidak jarang dalam kehidupan beragama seakan memiliki dualisme antara nalar dan iman, seakan yang satu mengganggu yang lain, dan menjadikan keduanya dikotomi atau dualisme. Tulisan ini akan membahas keberadaan nalar di dalam manusia dan kemudian nalar dan iman di dalam diri umat beragama yang didasarkan pada tulisan penulis kuno dan modern. Untuk penelitian seperti ini metode yang paling baik diaplikasikan adalah metodologi sumber yang dikombinasikan dengan pustaka untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian yaitu penentuan sikap dalam kehidupan beragama melalui nalar yang memberikan pendalaman dan pencerahan pada iman. Penelitian ini akan menyimpulkan keharmonisan dan saling mendukung antara nalar dan iman di dalam hidup beragama, bukan suatu dikotomi atau dualisme

The Guardian

In the Qur'an we find different concepts of trust situated within different ethical discourses. A rather unambiguous ethico-religious discourse of the trust relationship between the believer and God can be seen embodied in conceptions of tawakkul. God is the absolute wakīl, the guardian, trustee or protector. Consequently He is the only holder of an all-encompassing trusteeship, and the normative claim upon the human being is to trust God unconditionally. There are however other, more polyvalent, conceptions of trust. The main discussion in this article evolves around the conceptions of trust as expressed in the polysemic notion of amāna, involving both trust relationships between God and man and inter-human trust relationships. This concept of trust involves both trusting and being trusted, although the strongest and most explicit normative claim put forward is on being trustworthy in terms of social ethics as well as in ethico-religious discourse. However, ‘trusting’ when it comes to fellow human beings is, as we shall see, framed in the Qur'an in less absolute terms, and conditioned by circumstantial factors; the Qur'anic antithesis to social trust is primarily betrayal, ‘khiyāna’, rather than mistrust.

Education Concept

This essay discusses based on Qur’anic value and character education. In gobalization era, it has great impact on young behaviour change such as fighting, free sex, drug and other delinquencies. The occurred result is serious enough and it cannot be assumed just as a simple matter again, mainly that the subjects and the victim are young people whose have professions as students. The fact indicates that education world has to give an important role toward preventing national moral decadency in the effort of preparing the better future young generation. In this regard, we are aware that the education goal, basically, is to build better morality of human being or in another term is to “humanize the human being”. An idea regarding the significance of character education was appeared as a given solution in answering the morality problem in Indonesian education world. Character education is part of value education. That why, looking for the character education concept has been very urgent in the effort of preparing excellent, faithful, professional and personalized leaner as being asked by the education goal. The essence of characterized behavior actually is the psychological totality form which includes the whole human individual potency of cognitive, affective and psycho-motoric aspects, and also socio-cultural totality function in the context of interaction with God, him or herself, other human beings and the environment in his or her long life. Furthermore, in Qur’an’s teaching, the figure of the Messenger Peace be upon him (PBUH) is viewed as “the model human being”. In this context, the concept of Qur’anic charactereducation can be found through three moral dimensions that should be actualized in human being personality. They are the morality toward Allah (spiritual quotient/ intelligence), the morality toward our self (emotional quotient) and the morality toward Allah’s creatures, human being and environment (social quotient). Then, school should make the Holy Qur’an as the foundation of character education’s implementation whereas the implementation form in the school can be developed through intra-curricular, extra-curricular or personality and school culture development.
