Abstract
In this presentation I will explore Robert Bellah’s idea that there were four great axial civilizations which formed the modern world: China, India, Middle Eastern/Abrahamic and Greco-Roman/European. I will suggest that Indonesia occupies a unique role in the modern world because it is not dominated by any one of the 4 axial civilizations but is rather a unique synthesis of all four. Most great nations in the world are dominated by one or two, of these four axial civilizations. My research suggests that most Indonesians hold values and an imagination of social reality which is shaped by all four axial civilizations. In our pluralistic world, Indonesia may hold the key for shaping an Islamic civilization which will bring blessing to the entire world.

A M P A T Baru kemarin, pemerintah YTTA melakukan A M P A T
Baru kemarin, pemerintah YTTA melakukan aksi simsalabim dengan mencabut empat konsesi tambang di salah satu gugusan Red Line. Aksi "heroik" itu terlihat janggal ketika perusahaan yang paling bermasalah dalam perusakan lingkungan, bahkan yang menjadi pusat viral, justru dilindungi. Tentu bukan karena cocokologi dengan nama Raja Ampat sehingga hanya empat perusahaan yang dicabut konsesinya. Bukan cocokologi juga ketika Raja Ampat akan menjadi lokus tesis yang akan diuji esok di CRCS UGM. Berkebalikan dengan aksi badut jahat di Raja Ampat, @patricia_kabes akan bercerita bagaimana komunitas masyarakat di Aduwei mengelola laut dengan lestari melalui sasi. Berangkat dari negeri timur, peraih beasiswa LPDP ini justru menjadi yang pertama di angkatannya untuk menambahkan dua huruf pada akhir namanya.
For people who learn religious studies, it is comm For people who learn religious studies, it is common to say that "religion", as a concept and category, is Western modern invention. It is European origin, exported globally through colonialism and Christian mission. Despite its noble intention to decolonize modern social categories, it suffers from historical inaccuracy. Precolonial Islamic Malay and Javanese texts in the 16th and 17th century reflect a strong sense of reified religion, one whose meaning closely resembles the modern concept.

I N S P I R A S I Secara satir, penyandang disabil I N S P I R A S I
Secara satir, penyandang disabilitas baru mendapatkan sorotan ketika dia mampu berprestasi, mampu mengatasi segala rintangan dan kekurangan. Singkat kata, penyandang disabilitas kemudian menjadi sumber inspirasi bagi nondisabilitas. Budi Irawanto menyebutnya sebagai "inspirational porn". Simak ulasan lengkapnya di situs web crcs ugm.
Human are the creature who live between the mounta Human are the creature who live between the mountain and the sea. Yet, human are not the only one who live between the mountain and the sea. Human are the one who lives by absorbing what above and beneath the mountain and the sea. Yet, human are the same creature who disrupt and destroy the mountain, the sea, and everything between. Not all human, but always human. By exploring what/who/why/and how the life between the mountain and the sea is changing, we learn to collaborate and work together, human and non-human, for future generation—no matter what you belief, your cultural background.
