Scandal and Democracy
Successful transitions to enduring democracy are both difficult and rare. In Scandal and Democracy, Mary E. McCoy explores how newly democratizing nations can avoid reverting to authoritarian solutions in response to the daunting problems brought about by sudden change. The troubled transitions that have derailed democratization in nations worldwide make this problem a major concern for scholars and citizens alike. This study of Indonesia's transition from authoritarian rule sheds light on the fragility not just of democratic transitions but of democracy itself and finds that democratization's durability depends, to a surprising extent, on the role of the media, particularly its airing of po...

Menalar Autentisitas Wahyu Tuhan
Buku karya Aksin Wijaya yang ada di tangan pembaca ini merupakan model kegelisahan “baru” akan dominasi nalar Arab dalam teks keagamaan, dalam hal ini al-Qur’an. Dikatakan “kegelisahan baru” mengingat pikiran-pikiran yang dilontarkan turut “mempermasalahkan” mushaf Utsman yang oleh sebagian besar pengkaji al-Qur’an justru tidak lagi dipermasalahkan. Sederet pemikir kontemporer, seperti Amin al-Khuli, Fazlur Rahman, Hassan Hanafi, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, Abdul Karim Shoroush, dan Muhammad Syahrur, misalnya, dengan seabrek tawaran metodologis serta pemikiran kritis lainnya tentang al-Qur’an, justru tidak menyinggung mushaf Utsman sebagai korpus yang pantas “digugat”, meski s...
The Succession to Muhammad
In a comprehensive study of early Islamic history, Wilferd Madelung examines the conflict which developed after Muhammad's death for the leadership of the Muslim community. He pursues the history of this conflict through the reign of the four 'Rightly Guided' caliphs to its climax in the first inter-Muslim war. The outcome of the war, which marked the demise of the reign of the Early Companions, resulted in the lasting schism between Sunnite and Shi'ite Islam. Contrary to recent scholarly trends, the author brings out Ali's early claim to legitimate succession, which gained support from the Shi'a, and offers a convincing reinterpretation of early Islamic history. This book will make a major contribution to the debate over succession. Wilferd Madelung's book The Succession to Muhammad has been awarded the Best Book of the Year prize by the Islamic Republic of Iran for the year 1997.
Akal & Wahyu : tentang rasionalitas dalam ilmu, agama dan filsafat
Indra dan akal acapkali menemui jalan buntu sehingga diakui memiliki kelemahan dan ketidakmampuan untuk menghamparkan seluruh rincian jalan menuju kebahagiaan. Sepanjang sejarah, konflik antara akal dan wahyu memiliki dimensi dan pola yang berbeda-beda, seirama formasi wacana yang populer pada zamannya. Awalnya, polemik ini mengemuka dalam formasi “filsafat versus agama”. Buku ini mengetengahkan perkembangan dialektika antara akal dan wahyu dengan komprehensif, termasuk penjelasan tentang jalan memperoleh pengetahuan, makna akal dalam pro dan kontra serta rasionalisme radikal yang hadir dalam agama.
Catatan pinggir 3
Buku ini merupakan kumpulan 160 esai pendek Goenawan Mohamad yang pernah dimuat majalah Tempo dari Januari 1986 sampai Februari 1990. Diawali dengan esai berjudul “Ding” (4 Januari 1986) sampai yang terakhir “Asongan” (24 Februari 1990). Esai-esai yang dikenal sebagai Catatan Pinggir itu berbicara beragam hal, bahkan hampir semua hal yang dekat dengan peristiwa di masyarakat dalam kurun waktu empat tahun itu: tentang kecemasan, kebebasan, kekuasaan, kemerdekaan, keserakahan, kebahagiaan, demokrasi. Mengenai topik yang disebut terakhir, William Liddle, dalam Kata Pengantar untuk buku ini, mengatakan kiranya jelas bahwa Goenawan sangat menyakini demokrasi sebagai jenis pemerintahan yang terbaik bagi negara kebangsaan Dunia Ketiga seperti Indonesia. Tetapi dia tidak berpretensi seolah-olah demokrasi dengan sendirinya mampu menyelesaikan segala persoalan…. Goenawan Mohamad, kata Liddle, adalah burung langka dalam sangkar intelektual modern Indonesia. Dia menolak tegas pengkotakan Timur-Barat. Dalam sejumlah Catatan Pinggir ini, kata Liddle, dikotomi Timur-Barat beberapa kali ditampik Goenawan.
