TUHAN DALAM PERDEBATAN EKSISTENSIALISME
Abstract: The philosophy of
existentialism pays great attention to the fate of human beings as
individualist embodiments. This also becomes a manifestation of human’s freedom
which receives less attention due to its exclusion under the strong influence
of Hegel’s doctrine essentialist philosophy or system of thought that
emphasizes collectivity. The emergence of existentialism itself in turn
propagates into the polemical invention of humans upon their God. There are two
conceptions of the divine discourses on existentialism, namely the theistic
existentialism and the atheistic one. Theistic existentialism tries to accept
God and consider Him not to rob humans’ freedom because God is understood
individually, not as a self-enclosed system. On the contrary, atheistic existentialism
actually rebels against God’s intervention in humans’ freedom as well as
eliminates the existence of God and brings the absolute freedom of human beings
themselves, which in turn this leads to humans’ creative activity.
