JAKARTA — Umat Islam diingatkan untuk menghidupkan kembali filsafat Islam. Inteletual Muslim, Dr Haidar Bagir mengatakan, kehadiran filsafat Islam yang telah ‘mati’ sangat diperlukan kaum Muslimin di era modern ini. Filsafat Islam, tutur dia, dapat memberi manfaat bagi kehidupan umat.
”Filsafat Islam bisa mengembalikan makna hidup yang sebenarnya,” ungkap pendiri Islamic College for Advanced Studies (ICAS) itu di sela-sela acara A Set of Conferences Across Java di Jakarta, Selasa (6/1). Presiden Direktur Mizan itu menambahkan, akibat tak mengetahui dan mengenal filsafat Islam, masyarakat Indonesia seakan telah kehilangan pegangan dan makna hidup.
Menurut Haidar, filsafat Islam bisa mendorong kaum Muslim benar-benar memahami kompleksitas persoalan pembangunan sistem-sistem kehidupan alternatif. Hanya dengan menguasai isu-isu filosofis mendasar, papar dia, kaum Muslim dapat berpartisipasi dalam upaya mencari sistem-sistem terbaik bagi kepentingan semua orang.

Filsafat Islam Sangat Kaya dengan Khazanah

KABAR
Filsafat memiliki komitmen intelektual untuk mengatasi problem peradaban kontemporer.
Agama Islam memiliki ajaran yang sempurna dan lengkap. Berbagai permasalahan, baik keagamaan ataupun kemasyarakatan, bisa ditemukan dalam Al-Qur’an maupun hadis Rasulullah SAW. Sesuatu yang belum dibicarakan dalam kedua sumber hukum Islam tersebut merupakan tantangan bagi umat Islam untuk menggalinya lebih mendalam. Seperti ilmu kedokteran, matematika, teknologi, dan lainnya.
Lalu, bagaimana dengan filsafat? Banyak pihak yang menganggap, bahwa ilmu filsafat dalam Islam lahir dari upaya serius yang dilakukan oleh Abu Yusuf Ya’kub Al-Kindi. Al-Kindi banyak menyunting dan menerjemahkan buku-buku karya para filosof terkenal Yunani, seperti Aristoteles, ke dalam bahasa Arab. Dengan penguasaan ilmu bahasa yang mumpuni, membuat karya dan hasil terjemahan Al-Kindi menjadi sangat bernilai dan dikenal sebagai karya terjemahan yang paling akurat dan prestisius. Kemudian, muncul pula filosof Islam lainnya, seperti Al-Biruni, Ibnu Sina, Al-Razi, serta Al-Tusi.

Background
Global times now endow — and challenge – us with a broad diversity of cultures and civilizations. At the same time the progressive deepening of human concerns reaches beyond what is clear and distinct to what is of meaning and value, and beyond what is universal and necessary to the free human creativity of diverse peoples. This directs attention to the way persons and communities, working cumulatively over time and space have generated their cultural traditions. These two dimensions: one of global breadth and the other of the depth of the human spirit, now combine to open new sources for the human spirit.
There is a need to “rethink philosophy” in order to enable the vision of philosophy to be more inclusive and profound. In this light, there is an opportunity of many world cultures and civilizations to formulate their own heritages their philosophical insights and contributions. The goal will be to enrich philosophical awareness so that its horizons can be broad enough for all peoples to be truly at home therein

You may wonder what an evolution biologist is doing on a “World Commission for Global Consciousness and Spirituality” and that certainly is an interesting question. Because I wouldn’t have guessed myself that I would be doing this kind of work. But trained as a western scientist I came to feel that the world view I was taught was too narrow, like a suit one had outgrown, and was searching for the broader context for what a Western science would be. I’ve been working on that now for quite a few decades and have come to the view that consciousness is not a late emergent product of a material evolution but the exact opposite, the source of all material evolution. So I’ve come to believe that spirituality and science were separated only for historic reasons and that it’s time now to reunite them in a single world view that can encompass the best of our spiritual traditions and the best of our scientific traditions.
Dr. Fanaei Eskhevari on Islamic Philosophy of Politics
November 20, 2008 at 9:06 am | In Seminar-seminar | Leave a Comment
In November 13, 2008, Dr. Fanaei Eshkevari, a scholar from Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute, gave a public lecture in the University of Paramadina. This program is conducted by ACRoSS in a collaboration with Pusat Studi Islam dan Kenegaraan (PSIK) Universitas Paramadina. The theme of the lecture is “Relation between Religion and Politics: Islamic Perspective.”
In the lecture, Dr. Fanaei started with the explanation that before we elaborate politics from philosophical perspective or the political philosophy, we should understand what philosophy is; it is just because the political philosophy is a branch of the philosophy. Philosophy is, Dr Fanaei explained, rational thinking about everything. Science starts from empirical observation, but philosophy doesn’t. Philosophy is a rational analysis and logical argumentation.

Diperlukan Perubahan Paradigma

SUKSES film ”Laskar Pelangi” dalam menarik jumlah penonton ke bioskop adalah juga kebanggaan untuk Mizan Publishing. Film yang diangkat dari buku karya Andrea Hirata itu diterbitkan September 2005 oleh Bentang, salah satu penerbit di bawah Mizan Publishing.
Kalau boleh terus terang, kesenangan sukses investasi (dalam film Laskar Pelangi) itu tidak sebanding dengan rasa senang bahwa film ini disukai orang,” kata Haidar Bagir (51), salah satu pendiri dan Presiden Direktur Mizan Publishing.

Avicenna, the sage and the philosopher

Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Abdullah ibn Sina known as Avicenna was born into a middle class family in Afshanah, near Bukhara. His father was a governor of the Samanid dynasty. After the death of his father, he began a period of wandering and turmoil. He sojourned for some time in Gurgan, Qazvin, Hamadan and Isfahan. A precocious genius, he is said to have cured the Samanid Amir Nuh Ibn Mansur at the age of 17, and by the time he was 18, he was accomplished in all branches of science. Avicenna, also known as Shaykh al-Ra’is (Master and Head) died near Hamadan and was buried there. His scientific status won him different epithets such as Shaykh al-Ra’is, Hujjat al-Haq, Sharaf al-Mulk and Imam al-Hukama. Avicenna’s philosophy is composed of basic elements such as peripatetic philosophy of Aristotle, and a portion of Neoplatonic specific cosmological elements in synthesis with Islamic world vision. With all that, he is more a follower of Aristotle than others. Yet, he does not follow Aristotle blindly and imitatively. With his own initiatives, he shed light on the dark aspects of Aristotelian thought and endeavored to establish a new philosophical system by using Platonic and Neoplatonic thinking. |

Alam Semesta sebagai Hologram
Buku: Michael Talbot – The Holographic Universe
Pada tahun 1982 terjadi suatu peristiwa yang menarik. Di Universitas Paris, Aspect bersama timnya menemukan bahwa dalam lingkungan tertentu partikel-partikel subatomik, seperti elektron, mampu berkomunikasi dengan seketika satu sama lain tanpa tergantung pada jarak yang memisahkan mereka. Tidak ada bedanya apakah mereka terpisah 10 kaki atau 10 milyar km satu sama lain. Entah bagaimana, tampaknya setiap partikel selalu tahu apa yang dilakukan oleh partikel lain. Masalah yang ditampilkan oleh temuan ini adalah bahwa hal itu melanggar prinsip Einstein yang telah lama dipegang, yakni bahwa tidak ada komunikasi yang mampu berjalan lebih cepat daripada kecepatan cahaya. Oleh karena berjalan melebihi kecepatan cahaya berarti menembus dinding waktu, maka prospek yang menakutkan ini menyebabkan sementara ilmuwan fisika mencoba menyusun teori yang dapat menjelaskan temuan Aspect. Namun hal itu juga mengilhami sementara ilmuwan lain untuk menyusun teori yang lebih radikal lagi.
