| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Mysticism has been traditionally defind as a unity of individual with the overwhelming devine omnipresence, and the individual is possessed by it. Mystical experience is the experience of the Ultimate reality; hence the esoteric experience. Nowadays, however, people speak about mysticism of social action. One of its outstanding propenent is Wlliam Johnston. Generally thay define mystic as a man who has strong vision of reality, a man in whose heart burns the flaming light of love, in such away that his whole being becomes a being-in-love.It is this love that moves people toward action to respond to the crises of contmporary humanity. The vision is based on three considerations: the inadequacy of traditional mysticism, the awareness of new critical situation, and the biblical insights. We, however, can make three critical notes: Social action is primarily based on individual holiness; the best position is the equilibrium between vertical and horizontal holiness; faith and holiness are always the God`s grace (gratia gratis data). |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The search for profit is an essential element of business. But it is also what makes business morally vulnerable, because there are many easier and quicker ways to obtain profit and increase wealth. When profit maximation is seen as the only aim of business, unethical conditions easly arise. This has been proved by the expliotation. In our days child labour is still an actual industralisation. In our days child labour is still an actual example, although this problem may not be approached one-sidedly. While still playing an irreplaceable part, the relativity of profit as the aim of business is more stressed nowadays. An interesting approach is to consider the aim of business as the benefit of all the stakeholders who are involved. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | In spite of the fact that the name H.U. von Balthasar has long remained in oblivion, his theological breakthrough can hardly be concealed. Balthasar has changed quite significantly the way of doing theology, not simply because his mode of analysis is "musical", so to say, but rather because he has audaciously opened up the uncharted realms of faith: the realms of beauty and art. In his theology, God`glory - the ultimate beauty - is the centre of gravity, the path leaading to the true understanding of the Divine revelation. From this follows that, "Theological Esthetics" (and not "Esthetical Theology") is the most tenable paradigm to save catholicism and theology from the abuse of the prevalent meaningless Longology. Admittedly, this is one of the most promising theological paradigms for the next millenium. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Dalam diri manusia, pada dasarnya terdapat daya primordial self-transcendence dan self-reliting-with-others untuk berkomunitas. Bagi William Desmond terdapat tiga macam kebersamaan manusiawi, yaitu komunitas Distracted Desire, Erotic Sivereignty, dan Agapeic Service. Dua bentuk komunitas pertama mengandung kecenderungan reduksionitik dan egoistik. Komunitas yang paling sempurna adalah Agapeik Service karena didalamnya bukan hanya terdapat relaso dan mediasi, melainkan inter mediasi dan relasi berganda yang titil temunya selalu in between; bukan di salah satu pihak yang menjadi tendesi reduksionisme dan totaliterianisme. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Our age is characterized by the ever increasing discourse about the future, that is to say, by the discourse about the future, that is to say, by the so-called: Futurology. It would be interesting to see the validity of such discourses from the perspective of philosophy. This paper argues that the discourses are not to be simply within the context of time, but rather, in the context of meaning. The basic framework of such discourse is a network of existential meaning. It is the search for meaning and the craving for meaningfulness which has driven culture toward the future. New meanings are created over the old ones. Thereby meanings of higher level gradually appear and the future disclose itself, one glimpse at a time. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | As science can be seen as the offspring of philosophy, it is always of great significance to trace out the history of science philosophically. In terms of such perspective some tendencies within the development of science are worth nothing. Firstly, science has been flourishing from `` the one`` to `` the many``, secondly, science has been undergoing a shift from the rationalistic paradigm to more empirical one; thirdly the focus has also shifted from qualitative features of reality to quantitative ones. All these tendencies nave raised up philosophical problems. This article attempts to clarity the problems, as well as brings to the fore the fact that the main loss in the course of the development of science is the loss of spirituality. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | It is strongly believed that, when applied to human being, cloning not be morallly justified. This article attempts to give some ethical considerations for such thesis. Human being can never be treated as an object, a thing, despite tremendous temtation of the dyamics of technology to subdue human reality. To be more specific, ``procreation`` of human being through cloning techniques can not be morally accepted because firstly, it violates the fundamental principle of human life; secondly, it is against the principle of respect for the embryo of human being; thirdly, it is not in line with the authentic significance of human ``procreation`` which requires that the activity be entirely human. Besides, some fundamental moral values are also at stake, i.e, the uniqueness of every human person, the relationship between man or woman, and also between parents and their children. these fundamental values are never to be put aside because our own identity as an ethical being founded upon them. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Human culture is allegedly undergoing a paradigmshift, ffrom the paradigm of ``text`` to the paradigm of ``figure``. Accordingly now a work of art tends to be conceived of not so much as a textual entity calling for rational analysis than as an imagerial or figural entity appealing to sensoric responses. The value of a work of art is viewed not so much from `` what it says `` than from `` what it does``. This shift, however, is by no means satisfactory since it tends to move from one extreme to another: from the primacy of discursive interpretation to anti-interpretation. What is lacking in both paradigms is the experiential dimensions. Here the paradigm of Gandamerian hermeneutics offers a more significant point of view. The keyword of this perspective is the concept of ``play``. Within the frame work of play art is to be seen as the dialectic of meaning-formation, the dynamic of revealing and concealing of the very human existence. Hence, the dynamic of the Truth itself, the dynamic of the Logos. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The technology of cloning seems to raise an absurb phatasm, as if it had smashed the claim of the uniqueness of each individual species. Biological-diversity is the nature of life. The diversity serves as the shield for the existence of species from probable extinction. From this point of view cloning is obviously against nature. This fact, however, does not seem to stop the cloning project. The project, which started with the engineering of the undifferentiated one, is believed to have some positive sides. Cloning is believed to be able to speed up gnetic improvement, to create ``transgenetical species`` and to make possible genetic modifications. The disussion on this topic is still far from being settled, though. Those who are for the project say that cloning is needed to solve the problem of infertility, to provide `` ready-stock`` organs for those who need them, and even to provide a kind of ``mechanic-automatic-officer for the army, professional choir member or even hi-tech miss universe. Those who are against the project, however, mostly believe that the cloning on human being is never to be permitted since it is unethical and not in line with human dignity. Above the dreams, above the posibilities of the technological miracle, there is always human dignity to protect. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This article attempts to proportionally place the problem of the ``Logic of discovery`` in the whole realm of scientific methodology according to Charles Sanders Pierce. The theme, especially the position of creative imagination, has become a polemic. The polemic between K.R. Popper and M. Polanyi, N. R,. Hanson and Th. Kuhn is quite notable. such polemic, however, will never come to an end if ``creative dimension `` of science is not treated proportionally in the context of classical theory of inductive method (F. Bacon). On the other hand, contemporary philosophers have atendency to strictly separate the problem of the ``logic of discovery`` from `` the logic of verification``, forgeting the fact that both are merely methodological stages of one and the same procedure of science. Pierce wants to see science as a ``mode of life ``equipped with ``eros`` or `` the love for knowledge`` together with rational method. Eros will help a scientist to find the appropriate method. The pure desire to learn will help him formulate the right questions as well as find the adequate answer. |
