Book Review "Filsafat Dari Masa Ke Masa: Menggali Kebijaksanaan Para Filsuf" (Philosophy From Time to Time: Exploring the Wisdom of the Philosophers) (original) (raw)

" of Philosophers is the work of Kurniawan as his belief in the responsibility of teaching philosophy that all audiences can understand with uncomplicated language but with a disingenuous discussion. Readers who are still laid to the world of philosophy will be invited by getting acquainted with the world of philosophy. It ranges from a basic understanding of philosophy, philosophy history, philosophy figures, and their thoughts, the purpose of studying philosophy, until introduction to the science of antiquity. The author does discuss not only the basic knowledge of philosophy but also the history of the journey of philosophy to the present era, the thinking of significant figures that influence the development of philosophy (p.22-61), the benefits of studying philosophy and introducing to us and explanations of what is the science of Mantik (p.77), the history of science and its services (p.78-79). Kurniawan will introduce us to the ins and outs of philosophy that managed to survive through some of the periods that have passed, coupled with the many philosophers' thoughts that are widely listed in this book, as well as the depiction of the author's view of how important it is to study philosophy in the future. Hence, it is unfortunate if not discussed further. The book was written to explore the philosophical thinking of philosophers that developed over time. The concepts and contexts of philosophers' thinking flow follow the importance of clarifying a problem being answered constructively. Although the answers tend to be different, the spirit of unravelling them into us is just pieces of solutions stretched wide. Using the author's Mantic view leads us to the correct conclusion of the various explanations of philosophy in this book. This 5-part book is suitable for filling in questions to meet the needs of defectors who want to find out about etymology-terminology-history, philosophical figures, the development of philosophy, and the study of philosophy. Kurniawan introduced us to the world of philosophy from the outside by explaining the basic concepts and objectives of the creation of philosophy. The new discussion is interesting when it begins to enter the eastern philosophical journey in chapter 2. The author invites us to dive into the world of Eastern Philosophy, which is the product of the intellectual thinking of Asian people, especially people located in China, Japan, India, and the East Asia region, which later called Islamic philosophy. In addition, chapter 3 is explained about the journey of philosophy in travelling through various periods since its birth in ancient Greece until the present era, which is packaged chronologically by the author. This chapter also introduces the science of Mantik and the author's explanation of the relationship between science, Technology & Arts, Religion &Amp; Culture, Civilization & Destruction, Peace & War, which is explained from a philosophical point of view. Interestingly the author also gives his perspective on Indonesia's independence which is still ironic to this day. Finally, in chapter 5, the author closes the discussion of this book by expressing his own opinion on the Vision and Mission of the study of philosophy. There is a discussion that caught my attention in chapter 3 about the substance of the philosophical relationship between Colonialism & the Domination of power. Kurniawan explained another meaning of colonialism. He wrote a sentence, "Colonization is not a matter of domination, but
