Pendidikan Dan Etika Berpolitik
Political education and political ethics interrelated . In Political ethics, human behaviors to gain power are understood and judged. In political education, our judges to all human behaviorsto gain power are presented, learnt and inherited to the next generation. In contemporary Indonesian context, these two fold fieldsare urgent to discuss. The discussion must consider some important
matters, such as pluralism in Indonesian society, human right fulfillment, model of democracy wanted to build and the efforts to gain social justice
Pembentukan Karakter Generasi Muda Berwawasan Nilai-Nilai Pancasila Melalui Video Game Bertema RPG
This paper discusses the possibility to in still the values of the nation-state’s philosophy (Pancasila) on the young generation by using video games. Video games can facilitate the internalization of the values such as divinity, humanity, unity, democracy and justice more creatively and effectively as nowadays, young people are more interested in the video games that are played on computer, laptop and smart phones. The internalization of these values can be done explicitly and implicitly in every aspect of video game, through the plots of the game, the actor, dialogue and the content of the story of the game.
The values of Pancasila will be analyzed hermeneutically to be improved in the electronic games. Then, we will discuss the narration and characters that will be analyzed philosophically to find capabilities of character of the values of Pancasila building. RPG video games can be used to build the characters of divinity, humanity, unity, democracy and just if these values can be expressed comprehensively in all aspects of video game RPG narration and character
Demokrasi Sosial menurut Herbert Marcuse
Herbert Marcuse lives in an era marked by terrible human tragedies. He has been experiencing the first and second world wars and the atrocities of Nazism under Hitler’s regime. In that situation, he is compelled to reflect on the meaning of democracy, freedom and justice. In a broader context, he sees oppression and domination of labor under capitalism system in advanced industrial society.
He developed the critical theory as a way to educate public so that citizens transform their lives to the realization of freedom and social justice that are two important pillars of social democracy. Thus, democracy does not stop the political affair but rather a mass or social democracy of life imbued with the values of justice and freedom

Resensi Buku : Tema-tema Eksistensialisme, Pengantar Menuju Eksistensialisme Dewasa Ini
Buku “Tema-tema Eksistensialisme, Pengantar Menuju
Eksistensialisme Dewasa Ini” berisi gagasan Emanuel Prasetyono yang ingin mengantar para pembaca, khususnya mahasiswa filsafat, untuk memahami pemikiran Eksistensialisme.
Sebagai sebuah aliran filsafat yang pernah mendominasi lanskap
berpikir masyarakat Eropa pada sekitar tahun 1960an, Eksistensialisme memiliki gagasan-gagasan yang tidak dapat diungkapkan dalam satu atau dua kalimat pendek. Itulah ide yang beberapa kali disebut di bagian awal buku ini. Hal itu dapat dipahami bukan saja karena pemikiran para filsuf Eksistensialis memiliki kekhasan yang berbeda-beda, namun juga karena
pemikiran mereka sering bersifat elusif, tidak pernah dapat sepenuhnya dijelaskan dalam kata-kata. Yang menarik, untuk mengatasi kesulitan ini, Emanuel Prasetyono menggunakan beberapa ilustrasi yang berupa kisah pengalaman hidup sehari-hari yang ditafsirkan sesuai dengan gagasan yang dikemukakan
Emansipasi Sebagai Tata Bahasa Telaah Filsafat Moral Axel Honneth tentang Multikulturalisme
This article is concerned to show Axel Honneth’s philosophical approach that explains the struggle for the establishment of relations of mutual recognition, as a precondition for self-realization. Like G.W.F.Hegel, G.H. Mead, and many feminist proponents, Honneth stresses the importance of social relationships to the development and maintenance of a person’s identity. Honneth develops a framework for interpreting social struggles based on common values. The moral philosophy of Honneth can be applied in interpreting Pancasila as universal principles that must be reflected in positive-lawmaking. Therefore the constitution and rules or regulations that are based on the constitution can be amended to meet society’s needs and demands
MEREFLEKSIKAN HUBUNGAN ANTARA ETIKA ARISTOTELIAN DAN BISNIS DENGAN STUDI KASUS LUMPUR LAPINDO
Oftentimes, the link between ethics and business escapes our notice. Business
practices in Indonesia often wax corruptive and conspiring, with the misuse of
representation and power, and rife with immorality. Yet, business is precisely
often related to economic power and the ways of controlling it. Ethics allows
the science of business to develop virtues through each action that involves the
use of economic power. Truly ethical conduct is the dream of every man. That is
why doing business should not be equated to "dirty play". Aristotle can become
a reference point for the study of national ideals organized by a government
that is just and good. The discussion of this topic takes the mudflow case of
Lapindo in Sidoarjo as an example. We hope that this study could be a little
contribution to the study of ethics in the national life of Indonesia and the social
life of our people, two things that one feels is continually sinking into the mire
as time passe
SISTEM PENDIDlKAN NASIONAL DALAM TANTANGAN
Two items appear at the horizon when looking atthe highly productive population
of this country: hope and challenge. On the one hand, a high percentage of
young people inspires hope of productivity, creativity and innovation. On the
other hand, we see the challenges of reducing unemployment and developing
the quality of our human resource. Fulfilling the needfor quality basic education
and health services of the people is required to be able to face this challenge.
There are three basic problems with respect to systems and policies of national
education in Indonesia: (1) there is a tug-of-war between centralization and
decentralization as regards systems and policies; (2) there is a need to provide
quality education to everyone and for everyone; and (3) Clarity of goals: for
whom is this education? And on whose side is national education on? Any choice
of national policy for the educational system must orient educational practice at
the national level while at the same time appreciating the value of local wisdom
and taking into consideration the variety of backgrounds that the people may
have.
There needs to be good will among public education policy makers at the national
and regional levels to the point of even inviting representatives from teachers
at the local level to participate in the making of the curriculum, asking them
to be involved in the management of the educational process, soliciting their
help in the implementation of the plan at all levels, asking them to assist in the
periodical assessments and following them up on it. These teachers should, in
fact, be and actually are at the frontline of the effort to provide a national policy
for the system of education and should be actively involved in its implementation.
Any educational system should aim at the eradication of poverty from society
and, at the same time, out of justice, to provide education to everyone andfor
everyone. These principles really need to be followed considering the variety of
the situations of people who are living in Indonesia
MENGGAGAS PENDIDlKAN BERBASIS PLURALISME
The idea of education based on pluralism leads the students to have good
character, a positive attitude and to respect what may be different from what
they personally hold. In itself, there is indeed a difference. In the face of such
a difference, our attitude should be that of understanding, acceptance and
to do what is fair on the basis of proportionate justice. On the other hand,
discrimination is to do an injustice towards an individual or a group in society
just because that individual or group is different in se.
There is also a difference that comes from a specific personal attitude or
conviction. This difference is related to differing outlooks and ways of life that
are embraced and lived by someone. When it comes to difference in conviction
and the choice of religion, a person should learn how to live together in mutual
tolerance, developing a sense of respect before such differences. In the face
of such differences, a man may debate and present opposing arguments.
Openness and room for discussion and dialogue should precisely be fostered
when there are differences like this. Differences in mental frameworks and
thought should be analysed in an atmosphere of freedom to hold an opinion,
dialogue and communicate in a healthy way. An education based on pluralism
teaches the student to develop a character that is wise, promotes the skill to
manage differences and designs a strategy that would resolve these differences
in a mature way
MENYIBAK TABIR POLITIK OTENTIKARENDTlAN: SEBUAH PEMBACAAN DARI PERSPEKTIF ETIKA POLITIK
In philosophical discussions, politics is one of the most interesting, deep but
also slippery topics. It is interesting because it aims to make life in society
more humane, deep because it involves a variety of interests, and slippery
because it is a discussion between citizens on various issues in a public space.
This interesting, deep and slippery discourse is analysed by Hannah Arendt
by clearly distinguishing between what is political and what is apolitical. In
what is political, there are freedom and plurality. This becomes evident in the
arena called "public space". On the other hand, what is apolitical can be defined
as forcing the citizens into uniformity. According the Arendt, authentic politics
has to be vivified by freedom, supported by plurality among human beings
and strengthened by interlocution [communication] among citizens in public
space
