Between Facts and Norms, Pemikiran Hukum Jürgen Habermas (2): Pengantar dari Jürgen Habermas

Gambar
PENGANTAR Jürgen Habermas  | Penerjemah: Anom Surya Putra | Di Jerman, filsafat hukum telah lama tidak lagi menjadi materi pembahasan bagi para filsuf. Jika saya jarang menyebut nama Hegel dan lebih mengandalkan teori hukum Kantian, hal ini juga mengungkapkan keinginan saya untuk menghindari suatu model yang menetapkan standar yang tidak dapat dicapai bagi kita. Memang, bukan kebetulan bahwa filsafat hukum, dalam mencari kontak dengan realitas sosial, telah bermigrasi ke aliran-aliran (mazhab) hukum. [1] Namun, saya juga ingin menghindari ilmu hukum teknis yang terfokus pada fundasi-fundasi hukum pidana. [2] Apa yang dulunya dapat dianut secara koheren dalam konsep-konsep filsafat Hegelian saat ini menuntut pendekatan pluralistis yang menggabungkan perspektif teori moral, teori sosial, teori hukum, serta sosiologi dan sejarah hukum. Saya menyambut ini sebagai kesempatan untuk menampilkan pendekatan pluralistis yang sering tidak diakui/disadari teori tindakan komunikatif. Konsep-konse

Village Funds, The Forest embraces Tiger

President Jokowi said that the use of the Village Funds must also be allocated to boost economy as well as to tackle poverty and reduce gap in the villages (see Setkab official website). For the next stage, however, President Jokowi hopes that a bigger portion of the Funds can be used to develop economic potentials in the villages.

Village Fund and Poverty

Both Village Fund (Dana Desa) and poverty stand at crossroads today. In recent times, implementation of Village Fund had conceptualised as a positive norm in the legal system of Government Regulation No. 22/2015 on Revision of Government Regulation No. 60/2014 on Village Fund Source from APBN. It stretches across the entire spectrum of validity claims of Village Law No. 6/2014. From inside of Village Law system, the Village Fund neither represent the financial decentralisation nor represent the legal principle of village’s recognition.

Village Law’s implementation had reduced by Village Fund issues in the legal-positivism discourse. It had not talked about the poor or middle-class of villagers, but what administration speaks, what supra-village’s priority, what are forbidden, what the sanctions are, and how the governmentality procedures dominates the villagers.

There are no analysis of poverty alleviation within Village Funds’s indicators. Government had found difficulties to build the new concept of Village Poverty Index as one of Village Funds indicators, as described in Government Regulation No. 60/2014 before.

The indicators had been changed to the construction cost index (Indeks Kemahalan Konstruksi), but it had not itself supplied any substantive orientation for managing practical tasks of poverty alleviation. It is neither ‘informatively poverty alleviation’ nor immediately practical in the village.

Through a practice of self-referential that requires the establishment of governmental bodies, there is a gap between the government and the villages in how they define the poverty problems. Government still have debates on any indexes as such as Index of Village Driven Development (Indeks Desa Membangun), Village Development Index, and Village Profile Index.

Those debate constitutes a new burden between local government, Village Government (Pemerintah Desa) and Village Consultative Agency (Badan Permusyawaratan Desa). For example, the causes of poverty in village are both education and health’s factors, but the one of Index give another recommendation, as like the road infrastructure, it follows typology of disadvantage villages. In this context, the Index has a limited effectiveness in functionally participation of poor villagers.

In this way, the poor villagers is not linked with all deliberative process through Village Consultative (Musyawarah Desa) that is organised by Village Consultative Agency (Badan Permusyawaratan Desa). The road becomes normative issues and it can not link up with empirical explanations of poor villagers.

Forest and Tiger

The aims of Village Law to address poverty and social inequality can work in macro-structural context, but it needs strong village autonomy that village has a capacity to negotiate state’s intervention through a kind of Index, like ‘the forest embraces the tiger’. 

In historically long period, we found state and village relations as like a tiger (state; kingdom) and forest (village; rural), in the ancient books of Negarakertagama/Desawarnana. Nowadays, that relations relevant to the new village development, the tiger must respect the forest as a habitus of life. From this point on, tiger and forest, validity claim of Village Fund must be understood in epistemic terms as a ‘validity proven for both tiger and forest’.

This brings us to the core of the proceduralist paradigm: according to ‘the inclusive village’ of Sutoro Eko (2017). ‘The inclusive village’ has several characteristics: (a) village’s autonomy that village has a capacity to negotiate state’s intervention; (b) democracy and multiculturalism that are constructed well by villagers; (c) village’s head as the people’s leader; (d) integration between politics and social order; (e) village has outward looking of both network and cooperation; (f) and village’s prosperity growth. 

Here the idea of inclusive village states the necessary conditions for reexamine the legal paradigm of Village Fund itself. Certainly this understanding retains a communicative power in Realpolitics context, through as follows: (a) regulations of Village Consultative (Musyawarah Desa) as a source of Village Funds’s legitimacy; (b) political opinion of Village Fund corrected by self-organize of interest’s groups in village; (c) village’s regulation (Peraturan Desa) as symbolic power of village’s reconstitutions; and (d) government regulation facilitates the collective actions of villagers that is based on economic potentials in the villages itself, through procedures of shareholding.*

Day 10 21-Day Meditation Challenge Creating Abundance (Deepak Chopra)

Welcome to day ten. Although all of the events in your life are governed by the law of cause and effect, and our karmic events, there is great freedom in knowing, that if you do not like the results of a previous choice, then you can always choose again. In every situation, there are countless alternatives that affect you and those around you. When you go to make that singular choice, it should nourish you, and everyone else, influenced by your actions. This, is the law of karma or conscious choice making. True abundance or affluence is the ability to fulfill one's desires with minimal effort. When we speak of abundance as it relates to the law of karma, we can look to the concept of stewardship, responsibly caring for something we value, as a path to realizing our dreams. Taking proper care of a child. Making healthy choices for our bodies. Or using Earth's natural resources responsibly. All these are examples of good stewardship.  Every action we take, generates a force of en

Welcome to Day 16. Experiencing gratitude, is one of the most effective ways of getting in touch with your soul. When you feel gratitude, your ego steps out of the way, enabling you to enjoy greater love, compassion, and understanding.  Genuine gratitude, is also one of the most powerful ways, to invite more goodness into our lives.  It's as if you are saying to the universe, please bring me more of this.  Gratitude is independent of any situation, circumstance, person, or experience.  When you connect with this true inner joy, you feel bliss for no reason. Simply being alive, to gaze at the Stars, and appreciating the miracle of life itself, brings you happiness. To feel gratitude, consider all the wonderful gifts you enjoy in your life.

Day 6 21-Day Meditation Challenge Creating Abundance (Deepak Chopra)

Welcome to day six. We are born with everything we need, the life of fulfillment and success.  But often we measure our love, joy, health, vitality, and other positive qualities, by comparing ourselves to someone or something else. Perhaps thinking thoughts like, I have a loving relationship, but not as loving as my friends. Or, I live in a nice house, but not as big as my brothers. Or, I have a good job, and I don't make as much money as my colleague. Such comparisons, stem from object referral, looking outside oneself for validation. But an abundant life is not about external comparisons. Instead, a life of fulfillment comes from within, through the knowledge that you were created with everything you need to be happy and successful, and can access those seeds of abundance, at any time. Currently all over the world many people are experiencing difficult times. When we experience such setbacks, we sometimes feel like we will never achieve success. Yet, in every perceived failure or

Day 4 21-Day Meditation Challenge Creating Abundance (Deepak Chopra)

Welcome to day four. Noted Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist Carl Jung, coined the term, Collective unconscious. He coined the term to signify the beliefs we hold, that are based on what others have taught us. All these beliefs, stem from object prefer, seeking answers, externally, and accepting others portrayals of how life is supposed to be.  As we reconnect with the higher self, they are living within for guidance, we begin to live our lives through self-refer, detaching from external messages, and living from Pure Consciousness or the unified field. As we contemplate our understanding of abundance, We may realize that our social conditioning has led us to believe, that there is only so much to go around, a finite amount of money, or a limited number of opportunities.  Whether we define abundance as material wealth, love, joy, friends for recognition, we project the idea that these resources are scarce, and when they are gone, there will be no more. If this has been your experienc

Welcome to day seven. Congratulations on completing the first week, of the Chopra Center 21-day meditation challenge, creating abundance. Over the past six days, we have discovered the reality and source of abundance, which is unlimited and eternal. We've learned that mind, matter, and spirit, work in conjunction with one another, to manifest abundance that in the silent field of all possibilities, dwell the seeds of success, and that when you live from within, your desires are fulfilled quickly, spontaneously, and with minimal effort.  This week, we'll contemplate what we sometimes call a coincidence, a miracle, or just good luck. Ask yourself, how long does it take for a dream to come true. In the minds of some specific conditions must be met, plans must be in place, a certain amount of time must pass, and effort needs to be exerted. However these conditions all spring from the physical three-dimensional world.  In deeper levels of consciousness, what we call a dream, miracle

Welcome to Day 17. There are some who live day to day, concerned about not having enough, of whatever they feel is necessary, for their happiness and security. Their bodies most likely echo those feelings, by sending messages of discomfort, in the form of anxiety, worry, or stress. This however doesn’t have to be. Instead, if we learn to trust the intelligence of the universe, and practice living carefreeness, we can live fearlessly, without worrying, and focus on lack. We can expect only the best, and live our lives, from a place of true joy. When the mind nourishes the body, with its carefree thoughts, and feelings, the body returns to its natural state of happiness and calm. And, from this state of bliss, you’ll be able to regain the memory, of who and what you really are. A spiritual being. Inextricable interconnected, with the creative power of the universe. Reconnecting with your true nature, you cross the invisible boundary, between the ego and true self. You begin to feel more
