Abstract

This research was library research with overthinking as its material object and the Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius as a formal object. The main problem in this study is how Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism becomes a solution to overthinking. This research used critical analysis and heuristics methods. The data source in this research refers to the book or personal record of Marcus Aurelius, namely Meditations, which is supported by other sources that are closely related to the problems of Stoicism and overthinking. There are some critical points as the solution to the overthinking of Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism, namely, first, living in harmony with nature, where things beyond human control are on the scale of nature. Second, regarding the treatment of others, the actions and words of others are beyond human control, and what should be controlled is their perception. Third, self-restraint is in of control of humans. Everything that comes from out of control will not affect and interfere if in of control can be managed with the argumentation that humans as a whole are human beings that have a ratio; then this is the core of Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism.

Abstract

This study examines how Ibrahim Musa Parabek (1883-1963) integrated theology, rationalism, and empirical science within the colonial intellectual context of early twentieth-century Minangkabau. Departing from dichotomous and synthetic frameworks that dominate existing scholarship on Islamic modernism, this paper argues that his epistemological project constitutes a structured form of epistemic hybridity produced within a localized Third Space. Drawing on Bhabha’s theoretical apparatus of hybridity, mimicry, and Third space, and employing thematical-content analysis of primary texts, historical-contextual reconstruction, and hermeneutic-philosophical synthesis, this study identifies three operative mechanisms in Ibrahim’s thought: domain differentiation (taqsīm al-majāl), hierarchical ordering of knowledge sources (tartīb), and functional mimicry of rational-scientific procedures. Analysis of Ijābat al-Sūl, Hidāyat al-Ṣibyān, and Thawalib Parabek teaching manuscripts demonstrates that reason was granted bounded cognitive authority in worldly domains while revelation retained exclusive normative jurisdiction. These findings reconceptualize hybridity as epistemic modulation, reframe Thawalib Parabek as a productive institution of Islamic knowledge production, and demonstrate that alternative modernities can be constructed from within Islamic doctrinal traditions without compromising their foundational premises.
