This chapter begins by evaluating several avenues of connecting C. S. Peirce’s philosophical program and religious conversion. Next, it turns to an exposition of Peirce’s understanding of habit and habit change. This position of an ultimate habit change incorporates the conclusions of three essays in an argument for a holistic orientation of the thinker fully engaged in self-controlled inquiry. These include the change represented by personality and a belief in a personal creator in “The Law of Mind”; the argument for emulating agapistic inquiry in “Evolutionary Love”; and the belief and logical testing of the reality of God in “A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God.” The chapter concludes with a criticism of Peirce’s habit change to a “super-order,” as he describes it, and examines several ways to advance Peirce’s approach to conversion.

New View

In the fiqh of Shāfi‘ī, a humanistic philosophical analysis on women existence is given serious attention, particularly in his investigation on the matters of women. It is very vivid in his magnum opuses entitled al-Umm (The Mother), al-Risālah fi Us\ūl al-Fiqh and his periodicals qawl qadīm (old view) and qawl jadīd (new view). This article seeks to provide thorough analysis on the women empowerment through humanistic values from methodological and legal products aspects generated by Shāfi‘ī. In the aspect of methodology (us\ūl fiqh), the use of qiyās (analogy) is an indication of the humanistic value in the development of the mas\lah\ah\ (beneficial) principles. The legal products aspect can be explored through the following three classifications. Firstly, humanistic values of women in the law regarding the properties. Secondly, the humanistic values of women in the state law on economic issues related to religious conversion and social relations in political settings. Thirdly, the humanistic values of women in the marriage laws. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20414/ujis.v19i1.1249

Theoretical Considerations

This chapter studies Judah Loew's views concerning the Jewish people and its relationship to other peoples. It analyzes the application of his theoretical considerations to two concrete problems in Jewish religious law (halakhah): Jewish use of Gentile wine and religious conversion. For Rabbi Loew, Jewish use of Gentile wine is not simply a minor infraction of the law, but a distortion of fundamental metaphysical realities. Just as Jew and Gentile are mutually exclusive, so must be Jewish and Gentile wine. By using Gentile wine, the Jew thereby identifies with his contradictory opposite. All that can result from such activity is the pollution of the sacred, the violation of Israel. A second halakhic issue which concerned Judah Loew was religious conversion to Judaism. Being a traditionalist, he had to take into account the longstanding halakhic possibility of conversion, developed and sanctioned by earlier authorities. However, his position concerning the essential incompatibility of Jewish and Gentile natures on the physical, social, and metaphysical levels of existence would seem to eliminate the possibility of conversion to Judaism, both theoretically and practically.

Promiscuity among teenagers is one of the causes of underhand marriages using muhakkam guardians because the perpetrators of promiscuity are ashamed or afraid to report the incident to their family and relatives. In addition, the incident of religious conversion from Hinduism or Christianity to Islam is a factor that often occurs in Tolai village, because basically guardianship of parents other than Islam is not legal according to Islamic law, this causes the marriage process to be represented by a muhakkam guardian. There was a marriage problem that occurred in Tolai Village related to guardianship, a mosque imam married a girl to her partner because the girl did not have a nasab guardian or mujbir guardian because she was a convert, seeing this incident the mosque imam took steps to marry off the two couples without a valid marriage registration according to the law as stated in law number 16 of 2019 concerning marriage in article 2 paragraph 2 which reads: every marriage is recorded according to the applicable laws and regulations. Abstrak Pergaulan bebas dikalangan remaja menjadi salah satu penyebab terjadinya pernikahan bawah tangan dengan  menggunakan wali muhakkam karena para pelaku pergaulan bebas malu ataupun takut untuk melaporkan kejadian itu kepada keluarga dan saudara. Selain itu, peristiwa perpindahan agama dari agama Hindu atau Kristen keagama Islam adalah faktor yang sering terjadi di desa Tolai, karena pada dasarnya perwalian atas orangtua selain Agama Islam adalah tidak sah menurut Hukum Islam, hal ini menyebabkan proses pernikahan diwakilkan kepada wali muhakkam. Terdapat permasalahan Pernikahan yang terjadi di Desa Tolai terkait perwalian, seorang imam masjid menikahkan seorang gadis dengan pasanganya karena gadis tersebut tidak memiliki wali nasab atau wali mujbir karena mualaf, melihat kejadian ini imam masjid  mengambil langkah untuk menikahkan kedua pasangan tersebut  tanpa adanya pencatatan perkawinan yang sah menurut undang-undang sebagaimana tertera dalam undang-undang  nomor 16 tahun 2019 tentang perkawinan pada pasal 2 ayat 2 yang berbunyi: tiap-tiap perkawinan di catat menurut peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku.

Personal Case

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
