| PERBANDINGAN AJARAN SHANKARA A. Sudiarja* Abstract: Shankara and Ramanuja were two leading figures of the Indian Philosophy in the Middle Ages. They were the founders of two important schools in orthodox Indian Philosophy (Darshana), the Advaita and Vishish>advaita Vedanta respectively. Even though both of them claimed to follow faithfully the Vedanta tradition, it is clear that their doctrines are quite different with regard to God, man, and salvation. Shankara believed that reality is one without a second (monism), whereas Ramanuja main-tained that souls must be qualitatively distinguished from God, even though they cannot be separated from Him, or better said, they are held in the one reality of God (panentheism). Both systems imply naturally different doctrines with regard to salvation or human liberation. Abstrak: Shankara dan Ramanuja merupakan dua tokoh besar dalam filsafat India pada Abad Pertengahan. Keduanya memimpin mashab besar dalam aliran filsafat Hindu ortodoks (Darshana) tetapi berbeda ajarannya. Sementara Shankara mengajarkan realitas sebagai “Yang Satu” tidak ada duanya (monisme) dan mendirikan mashab Advaita Vedanta, Ramanuja mengajarkan adanya perbedaan kualitas antara jiwa dan Tuhan, kendati harus diakui bahwa jiwa tetap ada dalam rengkuhan Tuhan (panenteisme); Ramanuja mendirikan mashab Vishish>advaita Vedanta. Kedua sistem ajaran ini mempunyai implikasi berbeda dalam visi mereka tentang manusia dan pembebasannya.

PEMIKIRAN HANNAH ARENDT MENGENAI KEKERASAN DALAM KEKUASAAN Yeremias Jena* Abstract: Hannah Arendt rejects the idea that violence is a justified means of defending democratic power. For her, violence can only be justified as “a last resort” to combat anarchists and dissidents who oppose demo-cratic power. This article shows that exercising democratic rule in a polis supported by the use of violence as a last resort, on the one hand, may lead to a tyranny of the majority, given the fact that the democratic political discourse is determined mostly by those with a certain level of education, economic circumstances, social status, and a wide access to information; and, on the other hand, the use of violence as a last resort could become the ground for the state to repress its people in the name of national security. This article maintains the position that the combination of participatory democracy proposed by Hannah Arendt and the cons-titutional democracy commonly practiced today can overcome the danger of a tyranny of the majority as well as prevent the abuse of power by a democratic ruler.

INSPIRASI, ABSTRAKSI, DAN HISTORISASI Hartono Budi* Abstract: It is significant that the doctrine of Trinity, which was long pushed aside to the periphery of systematic theology, has made a comeback in recent years as a central and pivotal Christian doctrine. What is a new way to make sense of the teaching? How is the Trinity good news? How does faith in the Trinity inspire and motivate people to be an empowering community in Asia? The meaning of the affirmation that in the Christian faith God is tripersonal, known as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is rooted in the devotion to Jesus and a Judeo-Christian experience of salvation. Methodologically speaking, it is opportune to move from a dogmatic and philosophical approach (faith seeking understanding) to the approach of faith seeking connections with God’s salvific plans. Eventually, the teaching on the Trinity will be further developed from a global (pastoral) perspective based on concerns for building a true human (ecclesial) community and for repairing social disintegrations caused by economic injustice, cultural maginalization and religious intolerance. Thus, the theology of “the Tripersonal God” is worth revisiting.

Sunarko* Abstract: If salvation is understood in the paradigm of deification, what usually becomes the focus of attention of the Jesus event is the incarnation. The divine became man so that human nature might become divine. But if salvation, on the other hand, is understood in the paradigm of satisfaction (satisfactio), the suffering and the death of Jesus on the cross becomes the focus of attention. Human beings are saved because Jesus—through his suffering and death on the cross—has become atonement for the sins of human beings. In the aforementioned paradigms, the rich meaning of Jesus’ life and ministry do not have sufficient place. In modern theology the life and ministry of Jesus have a more central place. Only in this way, can Christian theology respond to the quest of modern human beings for the meaning of life, and give inspiration for the efforts of human beings as subjects to realize themselves.
