Although Marcel and Binswanger are contemporaries both in terms of historical period and intellectual pursuit, it is curious that they are never discussed together. Hence, this essay will attempt to explore some areas of convergences and divergences between these two intersubjective thinkers who are considered to be indispensable interlocutors in the I-thou discourse. In this article, as another attempt to take the discourse on intersubjectivity a little bit further, Marcel and Binswanger are placed in dialogue with the Filipino concept of loob-kapwa, which the author believes provides a hospitable home, when seen against the background of Nicolescu’s “Included Middle”, for the intersubjective relation that they are proposing. The author asserts that loob-kapwa tandem, without turning a blind eye towards its negative tendencies, is a viable answer to the “problem of crossing-over” that remained to be a philosophical baggage for both Marcel and Binswanger courtesy of their Modern upbringing, because the chasm, at least conceptually, is absent in the Filipino estimation of the loob-kapwa intersubjective bond.

Everyone longs for an emancipated life as children of God. Everybody hopes for a life without discrimination, oppression and suppression. People have talents to support their lives. Hagar, a biblical figure, is a model of a woman who owns the talents. Hagar, the slave of Sarah, tried hard to overcome the violence and oppression in her life, and she succeeded. Her personality could be a model for many women trying to defend their rights and dignities, especially in Asia. Hagar sets an example of defending the marginalised. Her struggle becomes an instrument to achieve the equality and the harmony of life for both men and women. Hagar is an inspiration, as she strongly believes in God who saves and frees her. She had the courage to escape from his master’s loyalty and hence she was independent: she did not give up amid the many difficulties she faced as a single parent. The author is convinced that only when men and women work and walk together in one heart and mind to create a more dignified humanity as willed by God, will this kind of struggle succeed.

Among the myriad of human behaviours, few may provoke the wrath of God such as that of ‘sexual asininity’ (pathe atimias). An expression literally meaning ‘lust for impurity’ or ‘shameful desire’, this refers to homosexual acts be they feminine or masculine. In his letter to Rome 1:18-32, Paul asserts the gravity of this sin as evoking the ire of God upon their heads, the reasons being not only this sin confronts the natural will of the Creator, but even more so for its inclination in leading human to idolatry. Paul clarifies that homosexuality is not the issue per se, but all acts in whatever form they be, should they violate God’s will are displeasing to God. Paul’s starting point was not that of homosexuality leading up to idolatry. On the contrary, the text quotes Paul as explaining that idolatry is the result of erroneous relationship between human and God mirrored in aberrant sexuality. Human errs due to the bond between human and God is not firm. The logical consequence of God’s wrath is punishment. In other words, human’s transgression brings the wrath of God. God’s wrath is not part of the judgment, but a logical consequence streaming from the ill-relationship between the Creator and the creation. Punishment befalls the humankind because of the deviation of the creation’s nature.

This article shows that what Foucault understands as genealogy is in many ways still in line with Nietzsche, that in terms of the basic concept of genealogy, using history, reveals the Herkunft – the origin of values that will dismantle the assumption of finality. Morality is born in the midst of a chaotic situation that forces individuals to make decisions and in the experience of a fragmented and unstable body. While through Entstethung one can see how the dominations that play behind any value are considered noble, the noble value is not in the hands of an independent subject. But there are also differences, since Foucault calls for the death of the subject, while Nietzsche is not up to that extreme. Another point of difference is that Foucault’s genealogy is practiced in a strict study discipline, wrestling with historical documents and writing down the detailed facts, while Nietzsche does not. The author argues that through Foucault’s thought, one might find a new meaning of the subject, that the subject is not an autonomous entity, but merely a production of power. The appearance of the subject is considered as a result of domination-relationships. In other words, these are the result of a disciplining effort.

Theology with ‘freedom’ paradigm understands grace not as a third matter between God and humans. The nature of grace is God and God’s actions in relationship with and insofar as humans experience them. With regard to the attempts to understand the relation between grace and the sacraments, an integrated description of the sacrament as a representative and real symbol could be formulated. God is present in the sacraments through the particular symbols and when God is present, God is therefore realising humans’ salvation through the real symbols. In a sacramental celebration, with all the complexities of its forms and activities, the faithful experience how God is exceptionally present (in representative symbols) and when God is present salvation is realised or embodied (in real symbols). This is an explanation of how grace is conveyed through the celebration of the sacraments.

Art seems to always deal with subjects, both the artist and the spectator. The awareness that an image is not a concept may provoke those doing and experiencing art to reposition themselves as appreciators of the image. This article shifts the focus from concept to image. Art event is a sort of lectio imaginem, an experience of reading and not merely interpreting the image. Each artwork is transcendent, since every time it will speak differently when reencountered. Yet it might even frightfully reinterpret the audience differently, recreating the identity as a different figure in its eyes. Phenomenologically, the spectators are looked upon by the image through the works of art. The subject is assessed and transformed from I into me, that it becomes a witness in the presence of an image revealing itself. This article is an invitation to maintain the equilibrium between critical and appreciative atitudes, between theory and image, within the world of art. All individuals, without exception, are assessed by art. Perhaps they only need to forbear, to let themselves deluged in the surface, to become the witnesses fascinated before and moved by the saturation of the image.

Human being is driven by many factors, but in trading activities, an individual is driven primarily by self-interest rather than other encouragement. This is the point which then develops into the core of the image of an economic being. However, the whole of human self is never driven only by self-interest. Through the history of the idea of homo economicus, what was originally a particular point of view about humans turned into a claim about the whole of human nature. The actions and behaviours of homo economicus were still driven by self-interest, but what was meant by self-interest was no longer in its classical sense. Its meaning has been much more extensive. This article shows the ambiguity of the idea of homo economicus: what was originally a certain point of view about human being, was applied to human nature and then became an agenda of how human beings and society should be. Humans must be homo economicus, but the latter is definitely not the whole picture of human nature. The image of an economic being is not the real description of the nature of human self, for it has its own territory. It is not the economic beings that gave birth to economics, but the economics that created economic beings.
