KRISIS EKOLOGI: PROBLEMATIKA SAINS MODERN

Amirullah Amirullah

Nowadays, ecological crisis is a well discussed global challenge for mankind in the twenty fist century. Governments and people around the globe share the same grief feelings about this kind of crisis. The crisis affects the whole system of ecology on earth, including things related to mankind, such as air quality, foods, water, and a number of issues related to our health condition.

Environmental crisis which is famous for its scientific and philosophical name, namely crisis of ecology, is a reflection of spiritual crisis experienced by modern society in which mankind had excluded God from nature. Misunderstanding and failure of mankind in comprehending the essential meaning of nature and reality has turned the relationship between mankind and nature into hostility. Mankind, indeed, reduced the true meaning of nature. Nature is understood as something with no intrinsic and spiritual values except what mankind has labeled. Nature is merely understood as object through which mankind may channel its greed, as an object by which mankind may quench its lust of exploitation. As a result, nature is treated like prostitutes to whom sinners share no sense of responsibility and obligation.

Agama, Negara dan Public Reason: Kasus Penutupan Lokalisasi Km 17 Karang Joang Balikpapan Dalam Sudut Pandang Public Reason

Muzayyin Ahyar

Using a case of the closing of localisation (mainly for prostitution activities) in Km. 17 Balikpapan, this paper describes and maps out debates on religious and secular logics in a democratic society. This paper applies sociology of politics approach as a perspective to analyze the phenomenon. Furthermore, this paper is guided by the theory of public reasoning echoed by John Rawls and Abdullahi Ahmed an-Na’im. Results show that in dealing with social phenomena people mainly use religious reasoning. Pioneered by a number of Islamic organizations hitting down the street, soon these turn into protest movement in a convergent manner. These typical religious acts are quite far from promoting win-win solutions. Hence, it is difficult to make a range of appropriate, clear, and systematic public policies concerning the phenomena.

Keywords: religious and secular reasoning, theory of public reasoning, and protest movement.
