Nusa Tenggara Timor, a south-eastern province of Indonesia, is populated mainly by Christians. The Alor-Pantar Archipelago has a majority of Protestant inhabitants who were baptized by Dutch Calvinists in the first half of the twentieth century. In addition, there are some coastal enclaves that have been inhabited by Muslims for centuries. In some areas, such as in the headland of Muna (Tanjung Muna) forming the northeast of Pantar Island, there is an even greater diversity of monotheistic religions, with some Catholic families living next to Protestants and Muslims. All adherers of the three religious faiths living at Tanjung Muna share core elements of the local adat, which consists of core rules relating to social behavior. It is believed that the ancestors will notice transgressions of these rules, and may use their supernatural power to punish their human descendants. In Indonesia, the term adat was first used by Muslims to distinguish the non-Islamic practices from Muslim faith (Keane 1997:260-261). This is definitely not the case in the village of Pandai at the coast of Tanjung Muna, where Islam tolerates ancestral worship. The same is true for the Catholics in the inland village of Helangdohi, who do not only tolerate but even support such customs. Some villagers from Helangdohi had become acquainted with this kind of Catholicism on the nearby island of Flores, where ancestral worship is encouraged by the missionaries of the Societas Verbi Divini (SVD). The attitude of Protestantism, at least in the Alor Archipelago, is quite the contrary of the permissive views held by Catholicism and Islam. In the 1930s the Protestant-Calvinist missionaries banned any kind of ancestral worship and destroyed most relics (Dalen 1928: Picture 1). These drastic measures demanded the disavowal of the ancestors, including the destruction of heirlooms and omitting of rituals.
Kurz vor Silvester sah sich der designierte Vorsitzende des deutschen Flughafenverbandes (ADV) Christoph Blume einer heftigen öffentlichen Kritik ausgesetzt. Grund war sein Vorschlag die zukünftigen Flughafenkontrollen nicht auf technisches Screening zu beschränken, sondern durch aktives Profiling deren Effizienz zu optimieren http://www.rp-online.de/politik/deutschland/Flughafenchef-will-Kontrollen-nach-Herkunft_aid_946638.html. Die öffentlichen Proteste waren heftig...
2008/9 sees the 60th anniversary of the German economic and currency reform of June 20, 1948, and the adoption of the Grundgesetz on May 23, 1949, which committed the country to the ideals of a socially committed market economy. Both of these events are important points along the path taken by the Federal Republic of Germany to reach the system of a social market economy. Since the term, Social Market Economy is often used in several different contexts and sometimes to mean contradictory things, we must ask: what exactly does the term social market economy entail? What economic-ethical ideas and theories are behind it? This paper will trace the origins of the social market economy (chapter 2) and explain the central characteristics of the Freiburg School of Economics (chapter 3), one of the main pillars of the social market economy. Central to this paper is the oeuvre of Walter Eucken, one of the leading representatives of the ordoliberal Freiburg School. The aim is to identify socio-political factors of influence and inspiration on his theory of economic policy (chapter 4) and evaluate similarities to the works of Kant, Smith and other economic philosophers. Chapter 5 will seek to elucidate Eucken’s “Program of Liberty”. We shall also allow ourselves a slight diversion to elaborate on the parallels between this work and Kant’s understanding of freedom and autonomy. Chapter 6 deals with Eucken’s dual requirements of an economic and social order (i.e. functioning and humane socio-economic order). In chapter 7, we seek to answer – with considerable reference to Adam Smith – to what extent it can be assumed that self-interest and the common good are mutually compatible. This paper concludes with a few remarks about the topicality of ordoliberalism in relation to modern, German-speaking economic ethics (chapter 8).
This paper explores the various personal and intellectual links between Edmund Husserl, Rudolf and Walter Eucken. Our interdisciplinary approach gives an insight into Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology, Walter Eucken’s Ordoliberalism as well as in the interdependency between phenomenology and economics for which Rudolf Eucken’s philosophy of intellectual life plays an important role. Particular affiliations between phenomenology and economics can be found in the following topics: epistemology, the idea of man, the comprehension of liberty and the importance of legal or social orders, institutional rules and frameworks of regulations.
Auf dem NATO-Gipfel in Lissabon wurde soeben eine neue Sicherheitsstrategie beschlossen. Die Allianz werde nun „more effective, more engaged, and more efficient“ [Quelle http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/news_68216.htm], so NATO-Generalsekretär Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Ohne die Folgen dieser neuen Strategie bereits jetzt evaluieren zu können, so kann man doch festhalten, dass mit dieser Strategie tatsächlich ein sich seit geraumer Zeit abzeichnender Paradigmenwechsel seinen vorläufigen Höhepunkt gefunden hat: Die NATO 3.0 als Risikomanager...
Man befindet sich im Krieg: Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung der Weltent stehen neue Sicherheitsherausforderungen. Angriffe im Internet sind keine Seltenheit mehr und die Frage, wie man damit umgeht steht überall auf der Tagesordnung. Die NATO führte mit der „Cyber Coalition 2010 Exercise“ erstmals ein Cyberwar-Manöver durch und die USA aktivierten 2010 eine reine Cyberwar-Einheit [Quelle]. Sowohl auf staatlicher als auch zwischenstaatlicher Ebene haben sich die Räder in Bewegung gesetzt um den neuen Bedrohungen zu begegnen....
Wer in den letzten Monaten die Zeitungen aufschlug, kam um Hiobsbotschaften über den Zustand des Euros und Europas nicht herum. Von Hilferufen diverser peripherer Mitgliedsstaaten war allerorten die Rede, gar vom Auseinanderbrechen der Gemeinschaftswährung. Die Regierungsspitzen, den Marktmechanismen scheinbar hilflos ausgeliefert, beraten sich auf Krisengipfeln, beginnend mit dem ersten Sondergipfel zur Eurokrise am 11. Februar. Rettungsschirme überall, die dann zu klein sind für die Menge an Mitgliedsstaaten, die man spekulativ noch darunter verorten könnte. Hermann von Rompuy sieht die EU gar in einem Überlebenskampf ...
