Political Thinker

In this study, we propose a new understanding, according to the principles of ‘humanistic interpretation’, of a fundamental layer of meaning in Utopia. In the work of Thomas More, major references can be found to the particular genesis and a crucial purpose of Utopia. Desiderius Erasmus arranged the acquaintance of Thomas More with Peter Giles, a key figure in the development of Erasmus as political thinker. More and Giles together in Antwerp (Giles’s home town), both jurists and humanists, would lay the foundation of Utopia. With this arranged contact, Erasmus handed over to More the knowledge of a particular political system - the earliest form of ‘parliamentary democracy’ in Early modern Europe - embedded in the political culture of the Duchy of Brabant and its constitution, named the ‘Joyous Entry’. We argue that Erasmus, through the indispensable politicalliterary skills of More in Utopia, intended to promote this political system as a new, political philosophy: applicable to all nations in the Respublica Christiana of Christian humanism. With reference to this genesis of Utopia in the text itself and its prefatory letters, we come to a clear recognition of Desiderius Erasmus in the figure of Raphael Hythlodaeus, the sailor who had discovered the ‘isle of Utopia’ and discoursed, as reported by More, about its ‘exemplary’ institutions.

Tulisan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pengakuan hak ulayat dalam Pasal 3 Undang-undang No. 5 Tahun 1960 tentang Peraturan Dasar Pokok-Pokok Agraria. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah mengetahui kepastian hukum hak komunal berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri ATR/Kepala BPNRI No. 10 Tahun 2016 yang ditinjau dari hukum pertanahan Indonesia. Kesimpulan dari tulisan ini adalah bahwa tidak terdapat kepastian hukum bagi masyarakat hukum adat dan masyarakat yang berada dalam kawasan tertentu yaitu kawasan hutan atau perkebunan yang akan mengajukan hak komunal atas tanah. PMATR/KBPN No. 10/2016 tidak memiliki tempat bergantung, dikarenakan hak komunal atas tanah yang diatur oleh PMATR/KBPN No. 10/2016 tidak sesuai dengan Pasal 16 ayat (1) huruf h UUPA, dimana UUPA sebagai dasar hukum ditetapkannya PMATR/KBPN No. 10/2016, selain itu pelaksanaan pendaftaran hak komunal atas tanah juga tidak sesuai dengan Pasal 9 ayat (1) PP No. 24/1997. Tidak adanya tempat bergantung PMATR/KBPN No. 10/2016 sebagaimana teori Hans Kelsen mengenai jenjang norma hukum (stufentheorie) dan Teori Adolf Merkl mengenai norma hukum selalu mempunyai dua wajah (das Doppelte Rechstanilitz).

Conceptual Shift

Saccenti’s volume belongs to the category of Begriffsgeschichte, the history of concepts, and more particularly to the debate over the existence or nonexistence of a conceptual shift in ius naturale to encompass a subjective notion of natural rights. The author argues that this issue became particularly relevant in mid-twentieth century, first, because of the desire to delimit the totalitarian implications of legal positivism chez Hans Kelsen; second, in response to Lovejoy’s The Great Chain of Being and its progeny; and third, as a result of a revival of neo-Thomistic and neo-scholastic perspectives sometimes labelled “une nouvelle chrétienté.”

Secular Spirituality

Abstract The essay is meant to be an introduction to both Brunner’s life and work. It follows Brunner’s development from a young man, deeply rooted in Jewish orthodoxy, to a secular thinker who made his own original contribution to modern philosophy. In his basic and most important work, Die Lehre von den Geistigen und vom Volk, he develops a quite innovative theory of our »relative« world perception, which is on a par with Einstein’s theory of relativity. In his attempt to define the unifying experience of true reality in the faculty of »spiritual thinking« Brunner sheds a new light on the figure of Jesus Christ by making him a representative of a new secular spirituality. But Brunner is also portrayed as an enlightened political thinker, a partisan of Jewish emancipation and a fierce critic of antisemitism, whose criticism of Zionism made him a controversial figure inside the Jewish community.

AbstractThis article presents Durkheim as a Neo-Kantian social thinker and a source of the theory of emotional contagion. The Elementary Forms of Religious Life is examined as Durkheim’s paradigm case of Neo-Kantianism. He is first considered among the intellectual context of French Neo-Kantianism and its figures Charles Renouvier, Émile Boutroux, and Octave Hamelin, all whom were influential in his formative years. Durkheim’s Neo-Kantianism in The Elementary Forms of Religious Life is then juxtaposed to the Neo-Kantian legal philosophy of Emil Lask and Hans Kelsen. Agued is that Durkheim’s notions of distortion and emotional contagion are his leading contributions to Neo-Kantianism.
