Sekolah Kapitalisme yang Licik

Awal 1997, dunia pendidikan, terutama praktis pendidikan pembebasan telah kehilangan seorang pendekarnya. Paulo Freire, tokoh pendidikan pembebasan asal Brazil telah berpulang ke hadirat penciptanya. Ia pergi meninggalkan setumpuk karya, segudang jasa dan segugus gagasan di bidang pendidikan. Di Indonesia, nama Freire sangat terkenal di kalangan LSM. Model pendidikan partisipatif yang digunakan oleh LSM dalam aktivitas pengembangan masyarakat mengambil inspirasi dari praksis pendidikan pembebasan yang digagas Freire. Meskipun gagasan dan praksis pendidikannya banyak digandrungi oleh praktisi pendidikan di Dunia Ketiga, tapi banyak yang menganggap teori dan praksis Freire itu gagal. Anggapan ini erat kaitannya dengan posisi Freire sendiri yang tidak bisa didefinisikan dengan pasti. Sebagai intelektual, ia tidak bisa dikelompokkan sebagai intelektual organis atau intelektual institusional. Memang ia mengklaim sebagai orang radikal, tapi penekanannya pada kebebasan dan demokrasi menempatkan dirinya pada posisi intelektual liberal yang tentu saja berharap-harap dengan kelompok revolusioner. Teori pendidikannya pun tidak bisa ditempatkan dalam genre teori tradisional, modernis, maupun posmodernis. Karena begitu rumitnya posisi Freire, teori dan praksisnya bisa saja dianggap gagal oleh satu pihak, tapi dianggap sukses oleh pihak yang lain. Rumitnya posisi Freire ini akan semakin jelas terasakan dalam perbedaannya dengan para akademisi Universitas Nasional Meksiko (UNAM) mengenai pendidikan tinggi.

Debunking a Moral Landscape

Debunking A Moral Landscape takes on the ideas of Sam Harris using his own chosen tools -- namely, reason and science. When those tools are turned back on his book, The Moral Landscape, one comes to understand that his perspective is very much like an onion since, after one peels away the various decaying layers of philosophy, reasoning, and science, there is really nothing left at the heart of his worldview. Sam Harris has been raised by many his many followers and admirers to an emperor-like status. Nonetheless, in reality, this would-be emperor has no genuine clothes of royalty since the material from which his conceptual garments are woven are fairly common, if not threadbare. In fact, his ideas are clothed in a way that gives them the appearance of being fashioned in a very sturdy and reliable manner, but such appearances are little more than an illusion. He often claims that his kingdom is ruled through reason and science. Yet, when the topography of his ideas are carefully explored, there are many problems to be found hiding in the nooks and crannies of his thought processes. His reasoning is not always rational; his science is not always factual; and his explanations are often problematic. Furthermore, he asserts that faith is for the naive and foolish, but his perspective is glued together by a variety of different grades of faith -- some of them quite faulty -- which he calls by other names such as: well-being, probability, theory, hypothesis, science, randomness, evolution, neurobiology, reason, and so on. Sam Harris has harsh words for religious extremists -- as well he should. However, he apparently fails to understand how his own position incorporates a brand of irreligious fundamentalism that is inclined to be just as blind and unyielding as the religious people whom he wishes to criticize. Debunking A Moral Landscape doesn't just criticize the perspective which is developed in Sam Harris' latest book, The Moral Landscape, the former book introduces a variety of constructive ideas with respect to moral philosophy, political philosophy, evolution, science, the process of reasoning, and methodology that grows out of the process through which the problems and errors that are present in Sam Harris' The Moral Landscape are corrected and refined.

Olech's son, Lieutenant Jander Mortas, has recently survived his first battle as part of the elite Orphan Brigade. The Orphans' new mission is to investigate suspicious Sim activity on the jungle planet Verdur—but what they discover there is far worse than anything they could have imagined. Meanwhile, Jander's sister Ayliss has gone to the war zone as the governor of a new colony made up of discharged veterans. Ayliss soon realizes that she and the colonists stand in the way of both the Sim enemy and a sinister mining corporation with powerful allies. All three members of the Mortas family are about to step into dire situations.
