Kretinismus
The Immanuel Kant (1784-1804) and Karl Marx (1818-1883) juxtaposition is adequate one inasmuch as they are the two great thinkers of European Enlightenment (Aufklärung). They both envisioned a human future where individuals can think freely for themselves. Despite the fact that they lived several decades apart, they both existed in a period in history when a large portion of humanity was under the rule of European colonialism. It is the aim of th…
“Karampátan ñg Tao”
This essay is a preliminary study on the rise of human rights discourse in the Tagalog language from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth using a carefully designed textual corpus. The corpus is made up of original Tagalog texts as well as translations of political treatises from European languages into Tagalog. While it has been found that karapatan (rights) is indeed a central notion in the development of a specifically Tagalog revo…
Pagsasariling atin
The call of the Malaysian sociologist, Syed Hussein Alatas (1928–2007), for the development of ‘Autonomous Social Science Tradition(s)’ (ASST) in developing societies is a major contribution towards ‘intellectual decolonisation’. The idea has, in the meantime, received further elaboration and even richer articulations by Syed Farid Alatas. It showed much promise as a way out of intellectual dependency. However, the implementation in the past deca…

Kritika ng Kritika ng Post-Kolonyalismo
Halos magkasabay ang panahon ng pagsibol at pamamayagpag noong dekada ’80 ng “Post-colonialism” (PC) sa Kanluraning akademya at ng Pantayong Pananaw (PP). Kasabay rin ng dalawang penomenong pang-intelektwal na ito ang naganap na pangkalahatang paghina ng Kaliwa dulot ng pagguho ng “Pader ng Berlin” noong 1989. Masalimuot ang ugnayan ng PC at PP sa Marxistang tradisyon ngunit malinaw na maibibilang ang dalawang ito, sa kontekstong Pilipino, sa mga…
Blood-Brothers
This paper discusses the significant role of the Indonesian Communist movement in the formation of Jose Maria Sison as a leading Filipino Marxist radical and its possible influence on the founding of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) in 1968. After a study fellowship in Indonesia in 1962, Sison published pioneering translations of Chairil Anwar’s poetry and popularized matters pertaining to Indonesia during the Sukarno era through the …
Andres Bonifacio
The concluding chapter of Tan Malaka’s (1897–1949) large philosophical work entitled Madilog: Materialisme, Dialektika, Logika contains interesting reflections on the extent and scope of the future liberated and sovereign Indonesian nation and on the concept of “Indonesian” heroism and nationality. However, most striking of all is the uppermost position he allots in his schema for Philippine national heroes such as Dr. Jose Rizal, the patriot and…
Themes of Invention, Help, and Will
Joachim Heinrich Campe's pedagogical work Robinson der Jüngere (1779/1780) represents one of the most important and popular educational works of the European Enlightenment. It is not widely known that this work was translated into Malay as Hikayat Robinson Crusoë (1875) and into Tagalog as Ang Bagong Robinson (1879) in the late nineteenth century. This paper attempts a preliminary comparative analysis of these translations with a particular focus…
Translation as Argument
This article discusses Ileto’s nontranslation of the Tagalog concept of loob as integral to the argument and rhetorical persuasiveness of his seminal work, . The meaning of loob that readers gather is a deeply religious and mystical one. However, the idiom of loob has multifarious and varied usages, and in the vast majority of cases loob is a prosaic term. Using some methods in the field of corpus linguistics, this article demonstrates that reamb…
A German Travels to the North in 1878
After finishing his education at the University of Munich, the German pharmacist Dr. Heinrich Rothdauscher (1851–1937) spent the years 1873 to 1883 working in drugstores in Manila, Cebu, and Vigan. He eventually finished writing an account of his experiences in a work entitled “Memoirs of a German Pharmacist” in 1932. Presented here is a translation of two chapters of a short expedition to the Cordilleras in 1878, which contain interesting litera…
Citing a Southeast Asian Classic
On an international plane, Contracting Colonialism by Vicente Rafael is probably one of the most successful historical works written by a Filipino. Since its publication, it has been widely cited in various disciplines such as Philippine studies, Southeast Asian studies, translation studies, Latin American studies, and various other fields. This paper aims to gain some insight into the extent and nature of its extraordinary influence, both Philip…
Moral Forces, Philosophy of History, and War in José Rizal
This article attempts to reconstruct an aspect of José Rizal’s interpretation of history from some fragmentary remarks in the important essay “The Philippines a Century Hence” (1889–1890). It argues that previous efforts to arrive at such an understanding have been hampered by a lack of attention to the categories that Rizal himself used in that work. Employing the method of conceptual concordance, the study proposes that a possible source for Ri…
Toward a Filipino-Language Philippine Studies Project
This short paper advances thesis that main currents of so-called indigenization movement in Philippine Studies such as Pantayong Pananaw and Sikolohiyang Pilipino were closely related to the rise of nationalist and militant mass movements of crucial decades of 1960s to 1980s. It argues that disengagement of these tendencies from social and mass movements that gave them their original impetus deprives them of real basis of their strength and conti…
Barang king banga
The Calatagan pot, with an inscription around its rim, is one of the very few existing archeological evidences of ancient writing in the Philippines. It was discovered in Calatagan, Batangas and bought by the Philippine National Museum in 1961. Having since eluded decipherment, the present paper proposes a strategy which combines traditional palaeographic techniques and cryptographic methods. By means of this procedure, a tentative decipherment o…

Pantayong Pananaw and the History of Philippine Political Concepts
Zeus A. Salazar’s approach in writing the history of political concepts in the Philippines represents one of the most challenging and insightful directions within his complex body of work. However, despite its positive contribution to this area of study, it seems that further advances towards a more productive and empirical direction is hampered by certain unnecessarily restrictive assumptions. This study is a preliminary critique of a significan…
