The Hidden Heart
The heart of a man speaks a million to him.
His needs, wants, desire are let known to him. His mind counsels,
instructs, directs and encourages him to pursue a way of life. It tells
him what to do and what not to do. It pictures him of the realization
of his dreams and his ultimate goal.
A very close friend of the mind is the eye, of courses it is one
of the gateways of input to the heart (mind). The eye, being a small
organ, has a remarkable and a unique function to be done. It captures
the outside world and presents it to the heart which is hidden in a
man. Now the heart views all the images sent to it and it starts making
its judgements on them.
Some of the images are liked by it and some are not. According to its
likings, the mind asks for more of the images it wants from the eye,
for example, a glorious view of sunrise or a cold stream trickling down
a valley. These scenes are stored in the mind of a person and is
recollected when he needs to get out of situation of anxiety or
sadness. Not only happy scenes are stored but a variety of emotion
related scenes, images arousing negative feelings are stored too.
Whatever brings pleasure to the heart of a man are craved for. The
heart yearns to acquire it and also lets known the possibilities of its
achievement. Man has ever been a slave to his heart. Yet, not all are
into this bondage. The men who out ruled this, indeed, have led a
peaceful, goal- oriented life. They have mastered their heart’s desire
and channelled it in the path of their target.
Surprisingly, the heart has always been a great strength to these
strong willed men. It has helped them to attain their goals, has given
them happiness, peace and health, no wonder, wealth as well.
In a world of chaos and confusion, where people run to and fro, not
knowing what they do, and trying endlessly in search of calmness of
mind and success in all walks of life, this is the only solution. Never
there has been any, and never will be any too, than mastering over
one’s will.

New Concept of Creativity
Man sees reality by conceptual systems of category. This systems enable
man to see life and experience. But, in life’s ongoing, the dynamic of
life needs new understanding, new conceptual systems. So, the presence
of a new conceptual systems to see the life is temporal and ready to
change by a newer conceptual systems. In other words, all conceptual
systems and believing became boundaries that will be broken by a newer
conceptual systems (a newer discoveries)
Creativity and the breaking through of boundaries
Creativity, typically in art, is connected to the problem of
“originality” and “new-ness”. This two of terms, all at once, hint the
breakthrough of boundaries. Nowadays, the cultural situation indeed was
marked by new discoveries or the breaking through of boundaries. In
other words, our life was fulfilled by redefinition of boundaries
(concepts).
The boundaries that I meant weren’t determinated on style, "-ism",
category. Creativity, also, breaks the boundaries of tradition, clan,
religy, worldview. This is the reason why the term of de-construction
was fastly well known and became a keyword.
But, the really creativity doesn’t merely stop on the de-construction.
The only creativity is always, as one, the process of transformation
and intensification: the never ending process of excavation on reality.
This is done by breaking through the system of believing and the rigid
agglomeration on everything. The really creativity is all but the
genealogic process.
The principle of Creativity
It’s clear that the really creativity is the manifestation of intensity
to live the life. So, in the really creativity, subjectivity of artist
isn’t significant. The truth of reality is the point of the really
creativity. Indeed, the artist imagines, but his/her imaginations just
like making pipeline for the truth itself. Heidegger says that the art
is “the happening of Truth itself”.
The quality of creativity above just emerges if relation between man
and reality is the “playful” pattern. The playfull pattern of
creativity always consists of dialectic between: dominates reality and
was dominated by it, pervailing the opaque systems and understanding
the real facts.

he Philosophy of Desire
(Preface)
Since Aristoteles, all philosophers agree that human capacity consist
of this three faculties: ratio (brain), will (desire), and soul. But,
history of humanity only based on ratio as the only condition to
establish the human culture all over the world. The manifestation of
ratio, as known by human culture, like technology, sains, religy, etc.
are claimed as real facts of the manifestation of ratio. Nobody can
deny this fact.
In the end of modernism, philosophers contemplate and rethink about
this manifestation of human’s ratio. Their contemplation or rethinking
based on situation that human culture (like technology and sains) based
on ratio have been creating the inhuman condition: alienation, poverty,
war, etc. In other words, human culture must be established with
coordination with the other faculty of human’s: desire!!
Friedrich Nietzsche, German’s Philosopher, is the first who proclamate
the desire: will to power. Will to power on Nietzsche opinion is the
good jumping from Freud and Freudians’ opinion. Freud declare the
desire as the negative energy that must be alienated or prisoned. So,
desire can’t manifestate itself to be real. Ratio and its manifestation
has the job to prison this negative energy by all social organization
like family, kindship sistem, nation and its structure, religion, and
all thing that defined as social organization.
Since Nietzsche, followed by postmodernism philosophers, like
Gilles Deleuze, Derrida, Foucault the desire rethink as a positive
energy. The desire can’t be prisoned by a faculty, organization, or
every thing. The desire is energy that in position to create, to
manifestate. It’s nomadic energy. Desire is magnificient energy that
can establish human’s personality and culture too. Nietzsche and his
followers, then, create a new way in philosophy: the philosophy of
desire.agustinus hartono

The Problems of Art
I’s very difficult to see art as an important or essensial thing,
because of art has been understanding as an entertainment or just a
part of ownship. As an entertainment, art is often used to make our
heart happy or our mind become calm, help someone escaping from any
problems of life or get stress off. As an ownship, art is used to held
someone’s social state up. In this two cases, the importance of art
fall into exterior happiness or beauty. Or, art is viewed just as a
substitution.
People who live in art (artist) face the same problem: to create or
govern an essential art in the human’s civilization isn’t simple
matter. “Art has been ended”, said Arthur Danto, Victor Burgin, Joseph
Kosuth, Foster, or Adorno. However, human’s life has been arranged by
market’s power. In this era, art has crached by market’s strategy or
market’s policy to gain much benefit in politic, economy, social, or
religion dimension. Art in its serious state/form too, known as the
contemporary art, is difficult to be differed, either it is the really
art or the one that expressed from the distortion of man who just
looking for popularity childishly. It's difficult to find the category
to see the sublim really art. So, for some people, if it’s exist, art
just held in sublime thing, out of this is “nothing and meaningless”.
