THE ETHICS OF AL-GHAZALI\u27S PERSPECTIVE IN KIMIYAUS SA\u27ADAH AND ITS RELEVANCE TO CONTEMPORARY MORAL CHALLENGES
No full textThe moral crisis characterized by value relativism and secularism demands the contribution of religious ethics that is transcendental and adaptive. This study aims to explore the ethical structure of Al-Ghazali in Kimiyaus Sa\u27adah and assess its relevance in responding to contemporary ethical challenges. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies, with textual and hermeneutical analysis of Al-Ghazali\u27s primary works and relevant secondary literature. The results of the study show that Al-Ghazali\u27s ethics are based on revelation as the main source of morality, but still provide space for rationality within the framework of tafakkur and moral introspection. There is a harmonious integration between tazkiyah al-nafs, morality, and love for God, which is directed at ukhrawi happiness. This ethical system emphasizes not only formal obedience to divine law, but also inner transfiguration through the control of the passions and the actualization of the angelic nature in man. In conclusion, Al-Ghazali\u27s ethics offers a theocentric, spiritual, and rational model of Islamic ethics, which remains relevant to be applied contextually in pluralistic and secular societies. This study opens up opportunities for the development of Islamic public ethics based on revelation that is dialogical and inclusive, as well as encouraging further research in the realms of bioethics, social justice, and ecotheology.Krisis moral yang ditandai oleh relativisme nilai dan sekularisme menuntut kontribusi etika religius yang bersifat transendental dan adaptif. Kajian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi struktur etika Al-Ghazali dalam Kimiyaus Sa’adah serta menilai relevansinya dalam merespons tantangan etika kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan, dengan analisis tekstual dan hermeneutis terhadap karya primer Al-Ghazali dan literatur sekunder relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa etika Al-Ghazali berlandaskan wahyu sebagai sumber moralitas utama, namun tetap memberi ruang bagi rasionalitas dalam kerangka tafakkur dan introspeksi moral. Terdapat integrasi harmonis antara tazkiyah al-nafs, akhlak, dan cinta kepada Tuhan, yang diarahkan pada kebahagiaan ukhrawi. Sistem etika ini tidak hanya menekankan ketaatan formal terhadap hukum ilahi, tetapi juga transfigurasi batiniah melalui pengendalian nafsu dan aktualisasi sifat malaikat dalam diri manusia. Kesimpulannya, etika Al-Ghazali menawarkan model etika Islam yang bersifat teosentris, spiritual, dan rasional, yang tetap relevan untuk diterapkan secara kontekstual dalam masyarakat pluralistik dan sekuler. Kajian ini membuka peluang bagi pengembangan etika publik Islam berbasis wahyu yang dialogis dan inklusif, serta mendorong penelitian lanjutan dalam ranah bioetika, keadilan sosial, dan ekoteologi
Kritik Teologis Al-Ghazali Terhadap Metafisika Filsuf Muslim: Analisis Atas Tiga Pokok Pemikiran Dalam Tahāfut Al-Falāsifah
No full textThe reception of Greek philosophy in the Islamic world through the translation of classical texts sparked debates between rationality and revelation in Islamic intellectual tradition. This study aims to analyze Al-Ghazali’s critique of three main points in the thought of classical Muslim philosophers as outlined in Tahāfut al-Falāsifah: the eternity of the world, the limitation of God's knowledge to universals, and the notion of resurrection involving only the soul. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach and content analysis of primary texts and relevant secondary literature. The findings reveal that Al-Ghazali’s critique represents a synthesis between Ash’arite theology and philosophical rationalism, firmly rejecting metaphysical concepts that he deemed incompatible with Islamic faith principles. The study concludes that Al-Ghazali’s critique should not be viewed as a rejection of philosophy per se, but rather as an effort to safeguard the integrity of Islamic doctrine through a systematic theological-philosophical approach. His critique significantly contributes to Islamic philosophical discourse and fosters an epistemological dialogue between reason and revelation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
