My teaching for this semester

This semester I will join the teaching team for 4 courses at FIB UI, which are Theories of Justice (with Pak Donny), History of Economic Thoughts (with Pak Tommy), History of Chinese Philosophy (with Pak Wayan), and the Philosophy of Art (with Bu Embun). I’m expecting a lot of challenging experiences hehehe.

If u, especially the students, have any suggestion or question related to those courses, pliz feel free to share it here.

Who is ur public intellectual?

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4262

majalah Foreign Policy baru2 ini netapin 100 nama intelektual yang masi idup dan influential, gak cuman dlm fieldnya tapi jg for the whole society (diliat secara global). trus kita diminta buat vote top 5 nya.

yg seru adalah ada byk juga nama filsuf or great thinkers (yg ide2nya closely connected dgn philosophical problems) di situ: Appiah, Sen, Nussbaum, Eco, Singer, Kahneman, S. Pinker, R. Posner, C. Taylor, Chomsky, Walzer, Dennett, Dawkins, Habermas, T. Ramadan, Lessig, E.O.Wilson, n Zizek.

tp kl buat gw, di antara nama2 itu yg gw appreciate bgt ide2nya si hanyala Posner, Sen, Dawkins, Dennett.
