A Christian Perspective on Religion and Religious Education in the Postmodern Era

Claudia Hoffmann — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Speaking of religious education the hypothesis “Religious education fosters tolerance” is often heard. This will be the core question for my presentation. How far is it true? Talking about religion and religious education in the postmodern era means to focus on the contextual and become situated in a certain environment. The time of universal and general statements is gone. Therefore, this presentation will not speak about a Christian perspective in general, but about Christian religious education in Europe, namely in Switzerland. This paper will focus on the specific situation of educating religious specialists in a secular state, and address theological education in Switzerland. First, I will discuss the two terms postmodern and Religion that come up so prominent in this conference. Then, after an introduction to the Swiss religious landscape, I will deliver a case study of the programmes and courses taught at the Faculty of Theology in Basel and ask how far these study plans increase religious tolerance. At the end, I will deliver some theses that in my opinion are basic conditions for a religious education enhancing tolerance.

Physical Sciences in Vedas: a Practical Review

Mon, 05 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The link between science and religion is widely discussed by religious scholars and scientists. Vedic experts claim that modern scientific theories, as well as technologies developed by scientists, actually originate from Vedas. This sometimes raises a debate among scientists Vedic scholars. Some scientists believe that the evidence for science can be fully compatible with Vedas and the others claim that science and religion are separate and based on different aspects of human experience. In this study, we investigate the compatibility of physical science with Vedas. The study is performed by using a literature study. From the analysis of several samples, it can be concluded that the Vedas are fully compatible with the subject.

Furthermore, the results were analyzed and reviewed by using a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) theory to understand why science in Veda can’t ready be applied as a technology. The results revealed that physical sciences statements in Vedas are still general statements in which the aspects of science are still implied. So that it is required more detailed analysis and description to become a modern technology. Moreover, we found that the level of technology readiness of the technology still has TRL below 4 or classified as a basic science. According to the TRL theory, a technology can be applied when it reaches level 7. For this reason, collaboration between Vedic experts and scientists is a necessity for translating scientific statements in Vedas into technologies.

Prototype Of Society According To Mahatma Gandhi

I Ketut Wisarja — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The model of society that Gandhi was about to build was a manifestation of the teachings of religiosity or religious beliefs, where each individual jointly carried out his life activities in society as a holy dharma. As a dharma, then each individual must be able to overcome all the potential of his greed in developing the ethonomization of his individuality to realize common interests. The idealization of society that Gandhi hoped was inseparable from his human perfection as the core of the constituent community. For Gandhi, the ideal society was what Indian society called the ashram. This article examines Gandhi's thinking about idealized community prototypes because life in the ashram contains a set of ethical principles derived from the culture that forms the construction of society. The root of the culture is then upheld as a life principle that must be obeyed by all ashram citizens as an exemplary community, without exception. The goal is to uphold the principle of a fraternity of mankind, human values that are the culmination of every form of service, upholding that all human beings are essentially the same and sibling. The principle of all humanity is sibling becomes the morality in society idealized by Gandhi.

The Commodification of Hinduism in Praxis of Capitalism Culture in the Postmodern Era

Kadek Hemamalini — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Postmodern era is marked by social and economic changes that developed into a capitalistic economy throughout the world. Capitalism dominates and has implications for all aspects of life including religion. Capitalism has influenced paradigm and ways of human religion today. Ideally, religion has a sacred dimension, but capitalism makes profane of the sacredness of religion. Capitalism creates unclear boundaries between sacred and profane in religion. One form of capitalism is commodification. Commodification is a way of capitalism to carry out the accumulation of its capital goals or as a process of changing the value of a function or to become an exchange rate. One of commodification impact is the triumph of the market which has implications for the rise of public consumerism. Consumerism that occurs in the commodification of Hinduism refers to cultural products such as trends and fashions that are in demand by the market, for example, canning or penjor. Community consumerism indirectly has implications to reduce the sacred value of means of worship, to reduce sradha and religious costs and to loss of socio-religious values in society which usually arise through ritual activities such as ngayah, to make banten/canang or penjor. Religion is thrown culturally from its core position in power institution of capitalist society. The administrated community is characterized by a thin network of regulatory institutions that organized and filled human activities. Unwittingly this situation has given rise to reality of hedonistic mobs, consumerism and privatized leissure. This puts religion as a social superstructure which is no longer an autonomous entity that is vacuum from social interactions outside. Even entities 'outside religion' can dictate (change) religion so that religion continues to change following of shifting of economic structure and cultural structure.

Buddhist Perspective on Morality for Better Education Atmosphere

Lery Prasetyo — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Education is the continuation of values, knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and behaviour as a process of getting rid of ignorance. It does not only deal with the intellectual and technology matters. It should cover moral, intellectual and spiritual goals. Buddhism has the basic concept of morality for lay people called Pancasila (five precepts), they are: refraining from destroying living creatures, refraining from taking that which is not given, refraining from sexual misconduct, refraining from incorrect speech, and refraining from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness. Those precepts are the basics for leading to Buddhist education goal factors should be conducted. First, implementing the precepts and others rule to build the students morality. Second, developing the intellectuality as a tool to preserve the tradition. The last, education is assisting the students to develop their spiritualties. This system leads the students to have two mental qualities Hiri and Otappa as the underlying safeguards of morality. Hiri is an innate sense of shame over moral transgression; ottappa is moral dread, fear of the results of wrongdoing. The students who have got those two qualities would be ready to face the postmodern era which put forward the culture and the existence of ethics and also industrial 4.0 era where the internet of things is alive. The morality should be strengthened, besides intellectual and technology skill, to prevent from the hoax, plagiarism, hate speech etc. finally; education can be understood as a means not a goal to mature students who must live in a complex world.

Ni Nyoman Rahmawati — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Indonesia as archipelago state with various different customs and cultures and plurality in religion is very susceptible to conflict which leads to disintegration among society. Therefore it requires an effort to link existing diversities through morality education based on local wisdom values as the result of research conducted at TewangTampang Village in Regency of Katingan, in which its people always lives in Concord and harmony despite the difference in religion. This concord and harmony are reflected in their togetherness in social interaction such as in practising ritual tradition, a celebration of religious holidays, and other activities. Therefore the aim of this writing is to describe the form of concord and harmony of life diversity by people at TewangTampang Village who lives in religious plurality, to analyze the form of local wisdom which becomes the basis of social interaction in everyday life, and its implication to the attitude of diversity by people at TewangTampang Village. Data in this writing is acquired through interview result and literature study from previous research’s results. The result of the research shows that the Concord and harmony at TewangTampang Village occur in the form of diversity social interaction such as in the practising of family ritual (family tradition), a celebration of religious holidays, and other religious activities. This harmony is happening due to the philosophy of humabetang as Dayak’s local wisdom which is still followed up to present such as the values of equality of fellow human beings, brotherhood, kinship, the value of belombahadat and hapakatbasara (dialogue for consensus). These values become the basis for social interaction along with the teaching of religious morality so it has implication towards the communicative attitude of diversity and put forward dialogue in resolving the existing problems.
