The Presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Anxiety from the Perspective of Existential Philosophy
Get PDFThis paper contains a philosophical study of the existence of artificial intelligence, commonly called Artificial Intelligence (AI), for human existence. Although the existence of AI was created to support human life, on the other hand, the existence of AI is also worrying for human existence. The existence of AI that offers a human-style way of thinking in solving human problems turns out to have a considerable impact on human existence. From research, the presence
of advanced AI, even though it is predicted to have intelligence that exceeds human capability, is only a tool of human creation. In reality, AI is existential as a being that is only for itself and will not be able to exceed the ability of humans in coexistence. The advancement of AI with all its sophistication in all aspects of human life can indeed free humans from the burden of work, but humans have
consciousness and freedom that can help purify their choices, including behaving towards AI. The peculiarity of man as a creature that has awareness of others will still put him as a subject of the presence of AI.

Dewey, Habermas, and Bakhtin: The Epistemology for Autoethnography and Narrative Inquiry
Get PDFIn this paper, I discuss the importance of Dewey, Habermas, and Bakhtin’s ideas for grounding the epistemology of autoethnography and narrative inquiry. As emerging methods of inquiry, autoethnography and narrative inquiry are both qualitative research methods that put the emphasis on experience and subjectivity – a great leap from the positivists’ perspective on research, which emphasizes on objectivity and generalizability. For epistemological ground, Dewey (1929a, 1929b) contributes to our understanding on experience and reflexivity as the basis for generating knowledge. Habermas (1981), on the other hand, completes Dewey’s naturalistic views on experience with a critical
perspective and the socio-cultural factors which shape our experience. In addition, Habermas also contributes in framing experience in three types of truth claims: subjective truth claim, objective truth claim, and normative truth claim.
Completing the endeavor to ground autoethnography and narrative inquiry into a sound epistemology, Bakhtin (1981) offers a framework of understanding experience in terms of unending dialogue. One’s experience as narrated in an
autoetnography or stories can be understood as a dialogue, responding to past events and inviting to future responses. In this way, experience is understood in terms of diglossic world where dominant voice suppresses less dominant ones.
Basing on the three philosophers’ perspectives, I believe that autoetnography and narrative inquiry have strong groundwork to investigate experience-based knowledging. Especially in education where experience is central in professional growth of teachers and educators, autoethnography and narrative inquiry can be a productive avenue for research, professional development, and empowerment. More importantly, this epistemology will be able to be critical on injustice, be able to empower the oppressed, and be able to enhance solidarity among those
who fight for the betterment of human kind.

Shodakoh Market: the Formula for Building Solidarity in the Midst of Crisis
Get PDFThis article uses the shodaqoh market as an object of research with four focuses of study: economic limitations in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic do not necessarily make people become wolves for others, homo homini lupus, as stated by Thomas Hobbes. Second economic limitations can turn into
abundance when people give to each other. My relationship pattern becomes – I thou, not I – it. Third, the Shodaqoh market is here to prove that at some point there are similarities in the quality of solidarity between premodern and modern societies. This is certainly different from the view of the sociologist
Emile Durkheim in his study of organic solidarity and mechanical solidarity which clearly distinguishes the quality of solidarity between these two groups of people. Fourth, this solidarity is rooted in religious teachings about alms. This
study uses the thinking of Thomas Hobbes, Martin Buber, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber as an analytical tool. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a descriptive analysis approach. The pattern of approach used is Focus Group Discussion
Key words: Shodaqoh, solidarity, formul
Anthropological and Ethical Bases of Global Solidarity
Get PDFGlobal Solidarity can be understood as unity among all men such that they help each other to achieve their full development as individuals and as nations. This solidarity among all men has foundations in common aspirations and goal, which in turn are based on values or realities all men esteem as worth pursuing. When men pursue the realization of these values, their action involves thought and free decisions. They act ethically and morally. All men share in a common ethical and moral experience which give evidence for the existence of the natural law. It is suggested that this common ethical experience can be at the root of Global Solidarity. We then explore how this common ethical experience is grounded on human nature, concretely on reason which is an essential part of human nature. We go from the experience of practical goods and then move
to how these practical goods become moral goods. We then explore concrete goods or values that are universal or common to all men, such as the good of life, friendship, love, justice, freedom and faith. The anthropological and ethical
bases of each of these values are examined. As a result, it can be understood that these values are very possible points of dialogue and solidarity among all men.

Living in Dialogue in the Light of the Personalistic Vision of Karol Wojtyła/John Paul II
Get PDFWe actually live in the world of diversity because as a human being, we are not an isolated being. However, in the presence of diversity, there are two extreme attitudes that often still emerge. First, the attitude of rejecting diversity which is reflected in various expressions of chauvinism, radicalism, and fundamentalism. Diversity is seen as a threat to the original or dominant identity. Second, the very permissive attitude towards diversity which allows people to dissolve in syncretism, relativism, non-identity, etc. Diversity is thus seen as a necessity and a part of social-cultural evolution opposed to a static identity that tends to be authoritarian and
dominating. Both can trigger some conflicts and tensions. In this diversity characterized by those extreme attitudes, the principles of dialogue are needed
The Double Standard in War Journalism and Its Effect to the Global Solidarity Crisis
Get PDFThe current war of Russia-Ukraine once again challenges us with the ethical problem of war journalism, that is prone to worsening the ongoing global solidarity crisis through ideology polarization. This is caused by the double standard that exists in war reporting where different wars are reported using different interpretations of the principles of objectivity and impartiality. This results in biased portrayal of reports such as attempts to reduce the scale of military aggression when it is done by a political ally while overblowing it when it is done by a political enemy. Such double standard and manipulation of journalism principles done deliberately to polarize the public is dangerous. An example is the popular reaction of the Indonesians on the Russian-Ukraine war. It creates a public in which many people are blinded by sectoral ego and sentimental reasoning. It
makes people less critical of the party that they consider as political ally. Human rights violations done by the ally in the war is then easily dismissed. This causes cold indifference towards the sufferings of the civilians in the warzone. Invasions
and military aggressions are more easily justified. World peace is becoming a lesser priority in an increasingly ideologically polarized global society. This paper aims to seek the root cause of the problem of the double standard in war reporting, especially with regards to how the journalism ethical principles
should be interpreted so as to render journalism less prone to manipulation of ethical principles, hence less prone to double standard. The philosophy of Jürgen Habermas is used to analyse problems regarding the confusion in the interpretation of the principles of journalism objectivity and impartiality. Also, Habermas’ theory of communicative action and the
colonialization of the lifeworld is used to explain the impact of the double standard of war journalism towards the increase in the global solidarity crisis.

Bani And AI In Education: A Human Approach to Cooperative in Overcoming Pollumics
Get PDFOur world is undergoing a massive change, especially due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Technology has caused changes in almost all fields, especially in education. Because of Covid-19 our education system has changed drastically. Currently school lessons are taught online, and this means that parents in the whole country must learn to use the new technology just so they can help with their children's learning. The biggest problem that we are currently facing is the existence of artificial intelligence in our everyday life, including in the field of education. This situation leads us to enter world of BANI which causes the world to be in a state of uncertainty. BANI is the abbreviation of Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible. What can education do to help children facing this BANI situation? This article will explain about the effects of technology, especially artificial intelligence, in education. The method that is used is the analysis of books from various authors who write about artificial intelligence and education. Hopefully this study contributes to helping children to develop their character as they prepare for a life full of uncertainty. Teachers have important roles in helping their students who will become agents of change.
Teachers are expected to have deep interest in realizing the idea of "developing patterns of thought" so that the self-confidence of children can be improved and they can become resilient persons. Teachers are expected to be able to process children's personality to be winners, so they have more self-confidence, can value themselves positively and have more self-control. Such personality can help children achieve goals.
