Historical Sketch

Kierkegaard’s attitude to natural science is equivocal. Whilethe published works deal with the open criticism of Hegel and his Danishfollowers, in his journals and notebooks we find a more clandestine,albeit no less intense, critique of the scientific endeavours of his day. Thebiting sarcasm that characterises this critique has often led to the viewthat Kierkegaard, as a Christian thinker of subjectivity, naturally hasto be stubbornly against scientific progress. On a closer look, though,we fi nd a more complex view hidden underneath the noisy surface ofKierkegaard’s vigorous rhetoric. The point of this article is to articulatethis more complex view against the backdrop of a historical sketch ofthe relationship between science and religion at the time of Kierkegaard,and through an interpretation of the Kierkegaard’s statements inhis journals and notebooks.

Historical Sketch

In its original Babylonian and Egyptian contexts, astrology was the interpretation of celestial signs and omens sent by the gods as warnings to rulers and the elite. Roman fondness for Stoicism fertilized the growth of astrology in the Greco-Roman world, which developed into a natural science, fully integrated with the prevailing cosmology. Astrology became popularized, and anyone who could afford some level of the service knew basic features of his natal chart. The chapter explains the various forms and purposes of judicial or divinatory astrology: “mundane” (heavenly effects on regions), “genethlialogical” (heavenly effects on a life from its birth or conception), “horary” (heavenly effects on the present moment), and “catarchic” (heavenly effects on the future). The chapter also provides an historical sketch of classical astrology, from Babylonian origins through the major surviving handbooks, and an elaborated ancient example of a natal chart (of the emperor Hadrian), its methods, and interpretation.

Abstract: This research was aimed at explaining the efforts of State College onIslamic Studies (STAIN) of Purwokerto to actualize the reunification of science and religionand the reason why this college implemented such a policy. This is a qualitative researchin which the data were gained through document study, observation, and interview. Thisresearch found that State College on Islamic Studies of Purwokerto actualized thereunification of science and religion through developing its vision and mission into ajargon ‘STAIN Purwokerto is the Center for Science and Religion’, comprising aspectsof epistemology, axiology, and ontology. Meanwhile the efforts to achieve this ambitionare actualized through balancing the distribution of social and natural science, developinglearning process, developing research programs, developing social work, and developingnetworking with national and international institutions.Keywords: reunification, science, religion. Abstrak: Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam upaya paradigmatik STAINdalam mewujudkan reunifikasi sains dan agama adalah dengan mengembangkanVisi dan Misi ke dalam “Jargon STAIN sebagai Arsy Ilmu dan Agama”, baikdari segi epistemologis, aksiologis, maupun ontologisnya. Upaya akademik STAINdalam mewujudkan reunifikasi sains dan agama pertama; menyeimbangkandistribusi ilmu pengetahuan, khususnya antara ilmu-ilmu sosial-keagamaan danhumaniora dengan ilmu-ilmu eksakta, kedua; pengembangan kegiatan pembelajaran,ketiga; pengembangan penelitian, keempat; pengembangan bidangpengabdian masyarakat, dan kelima; pengembangan networking baik denganinstansi dalam maupun luar negeri.Kata kunci; reunifikasi, sains, agama.

Non Euclidean Geometry

Very often, the rise of non-Euclidean geometry and Einstein's theory of relativity are seen as the decisive defeat of Kant's theoretical philosophy. Scientific progress seems to render Kant's philosophy obsolete. This view became dominant during the first decades of the twentieth century, when the movement of logical positivism arose. Despite extensive criticism of basic tenets of this movement later in the twentieth century, its view of Kant's philosophy is still common. Although it is not my intention to defend Kant infinitely, I think that this view is rather unsatisfactory and even misleading.Let us consider the first factor: non-Euclidean geometry. If one reads the first Critique carefully, it becomes clear that the claims of transcendental logic do not imply Euclidean geometry. Kant's notion of space, as explained in the aesthetics chapter, is rather limited: it does neither entail nor presuppose a specific form of geometry (Cf. B37-B57). None of his statements about the form of space is specific enough to imply or support Euclidean geometry. Although Kant uses several examples, Euclidean geometry does not play any systematic role; only the pure form of space is at issue in the aesthetics chapter. In my view, the same holds in the case of Newton's physics: it is neither presupposed nor entailed by Kant's transcendental logic. The justification of Newton's physics requires further specialisation and application of the transcendental framework to empirical concepts like matter and motion. Kant took this step in his Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science.

Time Issue

During the period of rapid development of science and technology among the main representatives of Russian classical literature, only Alexander Herzen and Ivan Goncharov experienced a deep and substantive interest in the philosophy of science. For the author of “The Precipice,” this interest was associated with the main issue around which the dominant problematics of his work is concentrated: this is the question of the compatibility of scientific thinking and traditional faith. This work examines mainly one aspect of the topic: the writer's interest in natural science and, above all, in astronomy. Darwinism, with its thesis on the origin of man from ape, and astronomical discoveries that activated thoughts about life on other planets, gave rise to doubts in the mass consciousness about the established religious picture of the world. Goncharov defined his attitude to these changes long before the outbreak of the crisis of religious consciousness in the 1860s. As a conservative and deeply religious person, he took scientific progress seriously, not opposing it to religion and considering it an instrument of God's Providence for humanity. The crisis of religious consciousness in Russian society of the 19th century is regarded as the main subject of Goncharov's artistic research, which binds “A Common Story,” “Oblomov” and “The Precipice” into a trilogy.
