Federalism

The aim of this paper is to engage in a meticulous examination of Federalism as it manifests in the concrete socio-political landscapes of the United States, Brazil, and Germany, juxtaposed against its theoretical conceptual framework. To embark on such an ambitious endeavor, it is incumbent upon us to elucidate Federalism's etiological roots, multifaceted complexities, and operational mechanisms. In the course of this scrutiny, we shall assert that Federalism, despite the empirical heterogeneities that inherently characterize it, emerges as an indispensable paradigm for contemplating issues of pluralism, the devolution of authority, and the nurturing of regional identities. The corpus of this work is structured into five distinct segments: the first section is an exposition on the historical genesis of Federalism in the United States; the subsequent segment turns its focus to the conceptual underpinnings and philosophical provenance of Federalism; the third segment encompasses a detailed survey of Brazilian Federalism, sketching a historical trajectory that spans from the proclamation of the Republic to the post-military regime redemocratization; the fourth segment is consecrated to an analysis of the German model of Federalism. In our concluding remarks, we shall accentuate the intrinsic virtues of Federalism, extolling its capacity to expedite localized policy-making and administrative governance, safeguard regional and minority identities, and stymie the ascent of autocratic and dictatorial regimes. The first, third, and fourth sections engage in a jus-historical and philosophical inquiry, while the second and the ultimate sections tackle the normative-conceptual dimension and our interpretative exegeses, respectively.

Metaphysical Causal Pluralism: What Are New Mechanists Pluralistic About?

AbstractAlthough the literature on the issue of pluralism within the philosophy of science is very extensive, this paper focuses on the metaphysical causal pluralism that emerges from the new mechanistic discussion on causality. The main aim is to situate the new mechanistic views on causation within the account of varieties of causal pluralism framed by Psillos (2009). Paying attention to his taxonomy of metaphysical views on causation (i.e., the straightjacket view, the functional view, the two-concept view, the agnostic view and the atheist view) will help clarify differences in opinion and, at the same time, make it possible to elucidate the main metaphysical theses present within the new mechanistic debate. Special attention is given to S. Glennan’s theory of causation, since it is unique in offering an overall metaphysical view of the issue. It is also argued that mechanists are not “atheists” on causation: while all of them are causal realists, most mechanists are “agnostic” on causation, with a few exceptions such as S. Glennan, P. Machamer and J. Bogen.

Nilai Pluralisme Buddhayana Di Indonesia: Merajut Harmoni dalam Keanekaragaman Masyarakat Buddha

This research aims to explore the concept offered by Buddhayana regarding pluralism and the implications of the Buddhayana concept of pluralism for the relations between internal sects of Buddhism and other religions. Pluralism is an idea or method that recognizes and appreciates diversity within a community or country. This means recognizing that there are different viewpoints, values, beliefs, and cultures that can exist within it. Pluralism seeks to encourage tolerance, respect differences, and promote cooperation between diverse groups. This research uses library research and interviews which focus on figures from the Buddhayana Council as primary data, as well as related books as secondary data sources. The approach used is a sociological approach, which includes the concept of institutional structure as a conceptual tool. Its function is to integrate relationships and interactions within a social community. The concept of pluralism offered in Buddhayana values in dealing with the issue of plurality is the concept of active harmony. Namely the concept of coexistence with stronger associations and mutual appropriation from various traditions, schools of thought and sects in Buddhism. With the aim of showing the importance of avoiding grouping, sectarianism and forms of division

Islam and Multiculturalism in The Charter of Medina (Socio-Historical Studies)

Multiculturalism becomes an interesting study material when related to the issue of pluralism in the various social life of Muslims. This paper will examine the relationship between Islam and multiculturalism with the consideration that Islam as a doctrinal system derived from God's revelation, sometimes clashes with the development of the socio-cultural context of its adherents. The main problem of this study is how the multiculturalism of the Muslim community in the Prophet is reflected in the Medina Charter. This study aims to map the pattern of multiculturalism in communities in Yathrib city of Medina. The study was conducted with historical methods and socio-cultural approaches. This study found the following patterns of multiculturalism: First, the Muslim community in the period of the Prophet in Medina based on Arab culture, grew up with patterns that were accommodating to forms of racial, religious, and 'ashabiyyah qabailiyyah diversity. Second, the pattern of the Muslim community that developed during the Medina period encouraged the growth of Muslim acculturation of non-Muslim communities to strengthen the integrity and integrity of Madinah society. Third, the pattern of multiculturalism is more evident as the reality of pluralism in Muslim societies is shown by the role of interfaith and racial communities.

Papuan Muslims in “One Furnace, There Stones” Metaphor in Fakfak Regency, West Papua Province: An Anthropolinguistic Perspective

Religion should not be used as a legitimacy tool, particularly just as a justification for achieving goals that are full of the nuances of power politics, and the like. This study aims to reveal a tradition of Papuan Muslims in their attempts to create tolerance and harmony in the lives of religious people, which have been practiced and inherited for a long time, from generation to generation. This tradition is practiced by the Papuan Muslims in the Fakfak Regency, known as the “One Furnace, Three Stones” metaphor. This metaphor is used by the community in Fakfak as a moral consensus in the process of integration and social balance. The two approaches applied in this study are a theoretical approach and a methodological approach. The theoretical approach is an exploration of anthropolinguistic and metaphor theory; while the methodological approach is a descriptive approach with an explanative dimension. Based on the perspective of anthropolinguistic and metaphor, this study seeks to apply scientific principles to socio-cultural data, and adapts the steps of scientific studies in other fields of science. This study follows several procedures, including providing data, analyzing data, and presenting the results of data analysis. The results of this study holistically identify the issues of pluralism in Islam and Papuan culture, Islamic migration, metaphorical Papuan Muslim relations, and ideology. This study implies that it could be used as a basic reference in the practice of religious development which upholds tolerance and harmony between religious communities.

INTENSIFIKASI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM PADA MASYARAKAT PLURAL UNTUK MENGANTISIPASI POTENSI KONFLIK SOSIAL HORIZONTAL BERNUANSA SARA MELALUI JALUR NONFORMAL DI KABUPATEN INDRAGIRI HULU

Islam according to the majority of its adherents is a holistic religion. Islam is not only defined as a mere religion of monotheism, but teachings concerning all aspects of life, public religion, religious pluralism is not just a matter of accommodating religious truth claims in the private sphere, but also a matter of public policy where Muslim leaders must recognize and protect religious freedom. , not only intra-Muslims, but also between religions and religions that teach divinity and humanity, including the issue of pluralism. Pluralism is something that is born from the proposition of divine teachings. Reason concludes that if oneness only belongs to Allah, then other than Him is not worthy to bear it which means other than Allah is plurality. Plurality and diversity in terms of religion, tradition, art, culture, way of life, and the values held by ethnic groups of Indonesian society. On the one hand, this diversity and plurality for Indonesia can be a positive and constructive force. On the other hand, it will be a negative and destructive force if it is not directed positively

KONSEP PLURALISME PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI INDONESIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF ABDURRAHMAN WAHID (GUS DUR)

The issue of pluralism has become an important issue specifically discussed throughout the ages and along with the development of the scientific world. Pluralism has been in the spotlight, especially among theological and Islamic thought, so that the issue of pluralism has entered Indonesia and has even reached the implementation of Islamic education. Talking about the term pluralism universally becomes an important point because today's problem is the concept of pluralism is not only a concept that leads to theology. But especially in Indonesia, pluralism is the main knife that must be developed, especially in Islamic education. This paper is here to discuss the pluralism figure in Indonesia, namely Abdurrahman Wahid who is familiarly called GUSDUR the intelligent idol who is one of the figures in Indonesia who gives the concept of pluralism to Islamic education. The focus of this research explores several issues that are quite urgent, namely: First, how is Abdurrahman Wahid's concept of pluralism in Islamic education. Second, what is the basis for Abdurrahman Wahid's thoughts on pluralism in the context of Indonesia. This basic assumption is the main reference which is studied in depth in this research. The type of research is library research with a descriptive analytical research approach that explains the roots of thinking critically. Specifically, it can be concluded that pluralism in education is the most effective institution and media in managing this diversity. The function of education is nothing but an effort to transform the values of a nation. Educational pluralism is an effort to inculcate national and human values, which must be pursued both in the family, community and educational environment. Islamic education in Abdurrahman Wahid's perspective is a sub-system of national education that has quite a big role in the transformation of religious values to students. This should start from Muslims, considering Islam as the majority religion. Changes in the paradigm of Islamic education must be pursued. This is because the paradigm that has been used so far turns out to be more selfish, closed (exclusive), intolerant, and oriented towards personal piety. In facing the plurality of society: multi-ethnic and multi-religious, according to Gus Dur, an educational paradigm that is tolerant, inclusive and oriented towards social piety is needed, not forgetting individual piety.

On pluralism and conceptual engineering: introduction and overview

ABSTRACT Pluralism is relevant to conceptual engineering in many ways. First of all, we face the issue of pluralism when trying to characterize the very object(s) of conceptual engineering. Is it just concepts? Could concepts be pluralistically conceived for the purposes of conceptual engineering? Or rather, is it concepts and other representational devices as well? Second, one may wonder whether concepts have only one function in our mental life (representation) or, rather, a plurality of functions (including non-representational ones). Third, it is a contended question whether conceptual engineering projects should pursue only one set of values and goals (epistemic ones) or, rather, a variety of values and goals, including non-epistemic ones. Finally, the engineering of a concept may result in a form of ‘local’ conceptual pluralism, which gives rise to its own ontological and semantic challenges. Having explored the various ways in which pluralism becomes important for conceptual engineers, this contribution presents and summarizes the articles published in this special issue.

Pluralism in the Fiqh Sosial’s Perspective

Methodologically, Fiqh Sosial encourages the resolution of people's problems by using the qauli and manhaji schools of thought. The qauli school of choice takes precedence. If the qauli school is unable to provide a solution to the problems at hand, then the manhaji school of thought is used. Basically, the qauli school of thought is sufficient if it is used in solving basic pluralism problems. However, if the issue of pluralism has entered a more complicated domain, and the qauli school of thought is no longer sufficient, then the manhaji school of thought can be used. The implementation of the methodology of Fiqh Sosial in the issue of pluralism can be seen from the consistency of Kiai Sahal in harmonizing his thoughts and his daily life. Kiai Sahal shows an open mind in building relationships and collaborating with many people from various ethnic, religious and professional backgrounds. This paper is the result of research on pluralism in the perspective of Fiqh Sosial. This study aims to determine the concept of Fiqh Sosial regarding pluralism and the application of Fiqh Sosial methodology in responding to pluralism issues. This research is a qualitative research. This research is a literature study using descriptive methods.

The unity of science and the disunity of economics

AbstractIn the article, we propose a general theoretical framework to distinguish a set of possible options for integration between social sciences. Adopting the so-called ‘nation’ metaphor in order to investigate relationships between disciplines, the framework uses an analogy with Dani Rodrik’s ‘world political trilemma’ (whereby democracy—here self-determination of science—national sovereignty—here disciplines—and global economic integration—here disciplinary integration—are mutually incompatible) to distinguish three different roads to the realisation of the unity of social science (‘reductionism’, ‘integration’ and ‘complexity’). The framework is then applied to recent proposals for unifying the social sciences that have originated within the economics profession at a time of pervasive specialisation and increasing fragmentation. While discussing the origins, the feasibility and the desirability of disciplinary integration projects, we concentrate on the issue of pluralism in both social sciences and within economics and on the ‘structural’ conditions that would permit economics to participate in the development of a transdisciplinary behavioural science.

And then exposure to the purposes of the Quran behind the adoption of the year of difference and diversity of ideas, beliefs and religions in the ground, and then concluded the research with a brief conclusion showing the most important findings of his findings.

Putting the case for a pluralistic economic geography

AbstractOver the past decade or so, concern has grown in economic geography over whether the discipline has become too pluralised, characterised by the proliferation of conceptual schemas, theoretical approaches and local narratives, between which there is often little communication or coherence, thereby militating against the identification of a clear and generally agreed disciplinary identity and ‘core’ research agenda. In response, some economic geographers have argued that what is now needed is an ‘integrative turn’, in order to arrest and reverse this process of pluralisation. This article explores the complex issue of pluralism and argues there are convincing arguments in support of pluralism, on pragmatic grounds, as a purposive–strategic endeavour, and on normative–melioristic grounds. At the same time, the article explores in some detail the ideas of ‘integrative pluralism’ and ‘boundary objects’ as ways of achieving communication between different perspectives while preserving the advantages of pluralism.

PECULIARITIES OF PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS THE CONTRACT OF LIFELONG MAINTENANCE (CARE) WITH THE PLURALITY OF PERSONS AS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF RELATIONS IN CIVIL SOCIETY

The article examines the analysis of case law, examines the improper fulfillment of lifelong maintenance (care) obligations with a plurality of persons, which led to the violation of personal non-property rights, as well as property rights of a third party. It is established that in Art. 746 of the Civil Code of Ukraine establishes requirements for the alienator (an individual regardless of age and state of health) and the acquirer (adult able-bodied individual or legal entity), and therefore only to some extent settled certain issues of plurality of persons on the side of the acquirer. It was found that if the acquirers are several individuals, they become co-owners of the property transferred to them under the contract of life maintenance (care), on the right of joint joint ownership, and their obligation to the alienator is joint and several. It is proved that the violation of the subjective rights of a third party under the contract of life maintenance (care) arose on the basis of improper settlement of private law relations in the Central Committee of Ukraine and the contract in particular. It is proposed in modern conditions of European integration processes of civil society development and when updating the norms of the Central Committee of Ukraine to make legislative changes to limit the rights of the purchaser to sell, donate, change property transferred under a contract of life maintenance (care) in the presence of a third party.

THE CHOICE OF AN OBJECT OF STUDY IN THE THEORY OF LAW

The relevance of the problem of choosing the object of study in the theory of law is determined by the need to tackle the debatable issue of pluralism in understanding of law. It is noted that one of the reasons for theoretical and legal pluralism on the concept of law is the lack of uniform criteria for identifying the object of study in the general theory of law. The situation with the concept of law in legal science, including with the pluralism of opinions, is considered largely as a result of the scientists and practitioners attitude described as first understand the law and then create a single concept of law. The fundamental research carried out in legal science and wide discussions on the concept of law are taken as positive; one of the parameters is the principle of separation of the object and subject of legal science. It is shown that when constructing a scientific theory of law, the primary question is the object of study, that is, the question of law itself as a special fragment of the real world, but not a disputable issue of the concept of law. However, in practice, when identifying the object of scientific knowledge in the general theory of law, scholars choose to study the most diverse fragments of the world, although they designate them with the same term law. Since various objects called law are subjected to scientific research, one cannot expect to derive a single concept of law. With regard to the analysis of the concept of law and the data of modern science, the following set of attributes for identifying law as an object of study in law theory is proposed for consideration: Law is a set of social norms enshrined in written language by the state and designed for people to interact with each other and with public authority such as state and other entities.

Pluralism, Confucianism, and Democracy

Abstract This paper aims to connect the issues of pluralism, Confucianism, and democracy in East Asia. Through engaging with empirical evidence, I will argue that although Confucianism still has a strong yet shallow moral and cultural hold on East Asian societies, it no longer has dominance over how citizens in East Asian societies envision their political future. Then, I will examine the idea of pluralism and argue that neither the Confucian classicists nor the liberal-minded Confucian political theorists take pluralism truly seriously, because both sides ultimately adopt the same internal view of pluralism that contains and addresses pluralism from within Confucianism. In contrast, an external view of pluralism is needed to treat Confucianism as one of many comprehensive doctrines coexisting with one another in East Asia. Finally, I will conclude by proposing a two-track strategy that takes advantage of two distinct approaches toward a better understanding of pluralism, Confucianism, and democracy.

Complementary and alternative medicine: what place in geriatric medicine?

This article is about the development of complementary and alternative medicine in geriatrics. He questions the meaning of his practices - and more broadly that of relational and non-drug care - as well as their application in the field in the aging sector. Indeed, the promotion of non-drug therapies by the high health authority, the growing role of actors in relational care or the emergence of practices complementary attest to a new dynamic of care in favor of a more global approach to support. If this dynamic was initially deployed in oncology, through supportive care, other sectors - and in particular geriatrics - are opening up to these practices in a logic of personalization of care. As such, the establishment of centers of activity and adapted care reflects a new model of support specific to aging focused on the specific needs of people weakened by age and disease. This work responds to the need to better understand this field as a whole and to highlight the plural issues, societal or medical, scientific, in connection with the process of their integration in geriatrics.

The Basic Orientation of Changes in Intellectual Property Law in China

The theory and practice of intellectual property law in China have gone through a process of transplantation, introduction, self-reliance and innovation. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, starting from basic national conditions and development needs, China has correctly grasped institutional attributes and functions, shaped legal value objectives, constructed operational mechanisms for the rule of law and development, proactively carried out institutional transformation and reconstructed the spirit of law, thus achieving the localization of intellectual property law. At the same time, China has been active in responding to the issues of pluralism, stages, risk and non-modernity in the development of legal modernization and has promoted the development of the knowledge economy through institutional innovation in intellectual property; at the same time, it has effectively coped with the issues of diversification, fragmentation and unilateralism in the course of legal integration and has participated in the construction of a global governance system for intellectual property, thereby providing a new impetus for the international protection of intellectual property. On the basis of the sinicization or localization of intellectual property law, China has found its own means of achieving the modernization of law and its own road to the choice of legal integration. The basic orientation of its legal changes offer rich innovative connotations and a clear practical direction.
