The classical pragmatists were as concerned as any of their modern philosophical predecessors that the moral and religious aspects of human life not be swamped by the successes of the physical sciences. It was John Dewey, after all, who said thatThe problem of restoring integration and cooperation between man's beliefs about the world in which he lives and his beliefs about the values and purposes that should direct his conduct is the deepest problem of modern life. It is the problem of any philosophy that is not isolated from that life.

Recently, most researchers of modern festive culture point to the loss of the true nature of the holiday in the current global world. Today, holidays have become more «casual», «routine». Festive intonations remain in everyday life. The gradual disintegration of a single celebratory culture manifested in the natural coexistence of religious and state holidays, old and new, one’s own and others’, characterizes the 21st century primarily and certainly relates to the processes of globalization and the dominance of multicultural trends. Modern culture places the holiday in a completely different context. The traditional holiday was “built-in” in the production life cycle, and the place of today's holiday is the process of consumption. Firstly, the modern life of society is based on fundamentally different foundations with the semantic dominative shifts from the producing material goods to consuming, the essence of which consists not in satisfying the material needs of a person, but in the manipulation of signs. Secondly, the opposition of work and rest is significantly transformed, shifting towards free time as the main value of human life. Thirdly, the mythological principle underlies the modeling of the world of a consumer society. The "miraculous status of consumption" and the mythology of the "golden age," understood as abundance, expresses this.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh ketertarikan peneliti kepada Ahmad Hassan, karena ketokohannya bisa membawa Persis yang merupakan organisasi yang relatif kecil secara keanggotaan, dapat memiliki pengaruh yang luas lewat perdebatan dan penerbitan yang dilakukannya. A. Hassan banyak melakukan polemik dengan berbagai tokoh penggerak paham kebangsaan seperti Soekarno dan Muchtar Luthfi. Topik yang banyak diperdebatkannya adalah mengenai paham kebangsaan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode historis yang meliputi empat tahapan, yaitu: 1) heuristik, 2) kritik sumber, 3) interpretasi, dan 4) historiografi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, A. Hassan berpandangan bahwa umat Islam di Indonesia harus memperjuangkan asas Islam sebagai landasan perjuangan, dikarenakan segala sesuatu dalam kehidupan manusia baik dalam aspek sosial, politik maupun keagamaan harus selalu terintegrasi pada ajaran Allah dan semangat Islam. Pandangan A. Hassan ini nantinya akan berseberangan dengan Muhtar Luthfi bahwa Islam dan kebangsaan adalah satu napas perjuangan yang tidak dapat dipisahkan satu sama lainnya, mencinta tanah air artinya manusia sedang membumikan ajaran Islam di dunia. Persoalan mengenai Islam dan kebangsaan ini nantinya akan mewarnai polemik antara golongan Islam dan golongan nasionalis pada tahun 1930-an. This research was motivated by the interest of researchers to Ahmad Hassan, because his figure could bring Persis which is a relatively small organization in membership, could have a broad influence through the debate and publishing he did. A. Hassan did a lot of polemic with various national figures such as Soekarno and Muchtar Lutfi. The topic of much debate is about nationalism. The method used in this study is the historical method which includes four stages, namely: 1) heuristics, 2) source criticism, 3) interpretation, and 4) historiography. Based on the results of the research that has been done, A. Hassan believes that Muslims in Indonesia must fight the principles of Islam as the basis of the struggle, because everything in human life both in social, political and religious aspects must always be integrated in the teachings of Allah and the spirit of Islam. A. Hassan's view will later be contradicted by Muhtar Luthfi that Islam and nationality are a breath of struggle that cannot be separated from each other, loving the homeland means that humans are grounding the teachings of Islam in the world. The issue of Islam and nationality will later color the polemic between Islamic groups and nationalists in the 1930s.

This article aims to examine the thoughts of Imam al-Syatibi on maqāşid al-sharīah and its actualizations in modern life. The method used is qualitative, while the data analysis technique used is content analysis to analyze the substance of maqāşid al-sharīah. It is then correlated with the context of current human life. The results of the study show that the theory of maqāşid al-sharīah initiated by Imam al-Syatibi has presented sharīah in its elastic face. Maqāşid al-sharīah has transformed Islamic theory into universal human values, such as benefit, justice, and equality in Muslims' lives in the world. This can be seen at least in two ways: first, maqāşid al-sharīah as a developing Islamic law method. The development of the theory of maqāşid al-sharīah has inspired the philosophy of Islamic laws. It becomes the basis of thinking and analysis, which is fundamental to Islamic legal thinking in this globalization era and dynamic social changes. Second, maqāşid al-sharīah in building sharīa economics; maqāşid al-sharīah's theory occupies a very central and vital position in formulating a sharīah economic development methodology. In the context of sharīah economics, the purpose of maqāşid al-sharīah is to safeguard human benefits. A Muslim is encouraged to produce and consume goods/services, of course, within valuable considerations.Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji pemikiran Imam al-Syatibi tentang maqāşid al-sharīah dan aktualisasinya dalam kehidupan modern. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif, sedangkan analisis data yang digunakan adalah content analysis yakni sebagai sebuah upaya menganalisis substansi pemikiran maqāşid al-sharīah, kemudian dikorelasikan dengan konteks kehidupan masyarakat sekarang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teori maqāşid al-sharīah yang digagas oleh Imam al-Syatibi telah menghadirkan shariah dalam wajahnya yang elastis. Maqāşid al-sharīah telah mentransformasikan teori-teori shariah ke dalam nilai-nilai kemanusiaan universal, seperti kemaslahatan, keadilan dan kesetaraan dalam kehidupan umat Islam. Hal ini setidaknya bisa dilihat dalam dua hal: pertama, maqāşid al-sharīah sebagai metode pengembangan hukum Islam. Pengembangan teori-teori maqashid al-shariah mengilhami filsafat hukum Islam dan menjadi pangkal berpikir serta analisis yang pokok untuk pengembangan pemikiran hukum Islam pada era globalisasi dan perubahan sosial sekarang ini. Kedua, maqāşid al-sharīah dalam membangun ekonomi shariah. Teori maqāşid al-sharīah menempati posisi yang sangat sentral dan vital dalam merumuskan metodologi pengembangan ekonomi shariah. Dalam konteks ekonomi shariah, tujuan maqāşid al-sharīah adalah menjaga kemaslahatan manusia. Seorang muslim didorong untuk memproduksi dan mengkonsumsi barang/jasa tentu dengan pertimbangan kemaslahatan.

The purpose of this study is to understand the nature of Sufism as an ethics of liberation and how to position Islam as a moral teaching. The background of this study is the inequality due to spiritual poverty that has penetrated into various aspects of human life depicted in the decline and even a moral degradation implicating the crisis that result in the fragility of the joints of human life The methodology used in this research is qualitative descriptive approach. The data were collected through literature studies and libraries related to the concept of Sufism in Islam in relation to the formation of human morality. The results of this study show that Sufism is one's attempt to get closer to God as closely as possible. The beginning of the emergence of the Sufism teachings was started along with the Islamic religion itself since the apostolic event of Prophet Muhammad SAW. Before Muhammad was appointed an apostle, he has repeatedly performed Tahannuts and khalwat in the Hira Cave. When he offered  tasawwuf in modern life, was not an offer to abandon the practical life of the world, but how the 'mortal' and practical world life is intended as a means of achieving pleasure and devotion to the Divine. Thus, the mortal 'has the value of immortality, where the mortality chooses the dimension ending Based on the results of the study, authors concluded two things. First, Sufism is not a form of escapism or escape from the life of the world, but asceticism breaks away from earthly fetters. Second, the teaching of Islam which is the religion of morality serves as a protector that provides composure and peaceful life.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

The article discusses the meanings of life and value priorities of the post- Soviet society. The author argues that, at present, there are symptoms of a global ideological crisis in the world, that the West does not have its own vision of where and how to move on and has no understanding of the future. Unfortunately, most of the post-Soviet countries do not have such vision as well. In these conditions, there are mistrust, confusion, paradoxical manifestation of human consciousness. The main meanings that determine our life-world are: the desire of citizens for social justice and social security, the desire to figure out and understand the basic values of modern society, how honestly and equally the authorities act toward their fellow citizens, and to what extent they reflect their interests. The meanings of life, which are the answers to the challenges of the time, are embodied in the cultural code of each nation, state. The growth points of new values, which will become the basis for the future sustainable development of a new civilization, have yet to be discovered in the systemic transformative changes of the culture. In this process, the emergence of a new system of values that governs human life is inevitable. However, modern technology brings new troubles to humans. It has provided wide opportunities for informational violence and public consciousness manipulation. Nowadays, the scenario that is implemented in Western consumer societies claims to be the dominant scenario. Meanwhile, today there is no country in the world that is a role model, there is no ideal that others would like to borrow. Most post-Soviet states failed to advance their societies to more decent levels of economic development, to meet the challenges of the modern information age, and to provide the population with new high living standards. Therefore, in conditions of growing confrontation, we should realistically understand the world and be ready to implement changes that will ensure sustainable development of the state and society without losing our national identity.
