Page 5 of 6 Education, that referred to the freedom of thinking that the universities have held today, really has begun to develop since the Era of Enlighten. The Era of Enlighten is the era in which the knowledge began to have the praised, and authority/doctrine of religion began to leave. Honorific on this knowledge can be seen in the book of Darwin, The Descent of Man. A book have gave a new understanding, that the human is not created by the God, but it is a result of evolution from the ape. From the result of this comprehension, the values of holy inspiration from the Holy Scripture begun to leave and substituted by the positive knowledge values. And this positive values, that was developed by the universities, that only can improve the ability of ratio but to make dull the faith. As a result of such education system, there is emerged the new humankind generation that want to place in higher the humankind. This movement was given a name as humanism that is sponsored by Auguste Comte (1798-1857). Because the human is placed too highly, the God, as the crater of the humankind, is not need to place in more highly. Even idea about the God also has been eliminated from their thought. To place in higher the humankind and the empirics knowledge, that later it was held in the universities, have triggered the birth of the new postulates in humankind life. These new postulates would be absorbed by the students and was brought out to a large public. Its impact, the civilization of traditional humankind crashed to the civilization of the new humankind variety, that is Homo Ingenium Praeter Impius. It included value systems, moral, religious, economy, up to the kinship relation-civilization crash could be seen clearly in Europe on 1800, the values of religion that the West Europe traditional society held them have opposed by the new values, that is rationality that the new variety held them.[6] All anything must be measured on the based of ratio, and not more on authority of the church/religion. Its impact, the West Europe, in a part, the society are no more missing to enter to the church, if there is the men to go to pray in the church; they were the oldest men and if there is the younger they are most smallest. So it can be said that the West Europe, the place for the birth of this the new variety and guided them up to adolescent with some ism such as empiricism, nihilism and positivism. And then they grow up to adult by America with its pragmatism that enter to all world fundamentals have drive/accelerate the propagation of the new variety of humankind. What was happening in the West Europe in 1800, today it can be sensed in all the world, Indonesia also followed to feel it. Indonesian structure have change, kinship relations, values of the religious and traditional have been left in most part of city community have been invar attacked by a new value, that is a rationality instrumental value. That right today this new variety have been discovered in many, but their manifestation still be refused by the humankind that they held strictly the tradition and religious values. When this traditional humankind began to become small or continually decreasing, the manifestation of this new variety will more stronger to be felt in the society. More ever, if they will hold the power, the order of values or norms of the sociality will change significantly.
Conclusion Homo Ingenium Praeter Impius is the humankind with genius but ambivalent, that have the features the man who are produced by the modern education, because they are formed in the universities with emplacing the positive knowledge ala positivism. Their society structure was built on based of money value (material), therefore in the society of the new humankind, no more again, solidarity, social work, and social relations. These social relation were substituted by the individualism and wild wood law. Religiosity is a knowledge religiosity, and their religion is knowledge religion. God is the knowledge. Therefore, they could not receive the God which came through holy inspiration as a traditional religion. Their liturgical contained the nature songs, pray through mathematic formulas, physic, chemistry, and economy, which can answer their life needs. And their economic used the capitalism that multiplied the capital without account for the impact and privacy right of the labours. |
