JAVANESE-ISLAM VALUE CONSENSUS: A Remark on Value Pluralism Adian, Donny Gahral
MELINTAS An International Journal of Philosophy and Religion (MIJPR) Vol. 22 No. 3 (2006)
Publisher : Faculty of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung

Artikel ini hendak menyanggah anggapan bahwa agama sebagai monisme etis tidak sesuai dengan filsafat politik liberal yang menghargai keragaman nilai. Sebagai acuan digunakan sejarah islamisasi di jawa, yang telah melahirkan hubungan konsensual harmonis antara Islam dan konsepsi etik Jawa. Dari sana dibangunlah hipotesis bahwa pada dasarnya agama (Islam)sebenarnya mampu membangun 'overlapping value consensus' seperti yang dicanangkan filsfat politik Rawlsian.

Beliefs are founded upon the ultimate being as an ultimate cause or principle. Some claim that the ultimate being, God, emanates itself into many, other claims that God created the world out of nothing. Whatever one believes in, one thing is clear : the ultimate being reveals itself in a spatio-temporal world; in a heterogeneous and not in a homogeneous world. The consequence is : revelation is not only one. There are many different communities with their respective faiths. However, many are not aware of the contingency of their faith. They are trapped into absolutism and try to mold the world into the emporium of their true faith. Blinded by their isolated faith, some use any means necessary, including violence, to attain the highest ideal. The reasoning behind such attitude is the instrumental form of reasoning combined with a high dose of encapsulated faith. This article explores the relation between faith, way of life, values and what kind of reasoning is appropriate in a world of multiple faiths.

Philosophical and theological reflections claim evil as thebinary opposite of the good. This way of thinking cannotunderstand the evil of terror. To understand the nature of evilwe need a poetic way of thinking. A poetic way of thinking goesbeyond the binary of good and evil. Dostoyevsky locates evilwithin us contingent and finite human beings. Only byacknowledging this we can gain freedom to act and create.

This study analyzed epistemic bias in the state’s narrative about Gerwani during the 1965 G30S event using the epistemology of intelligence approach. Through a qualitative philosophical method, this research evaluated the state’s processes of information acquisition, interpretation, and dissemination, focusing on the identification of political bias, gender bias, confirmation bias, framing effects, overconfidence bias, as well as the use of misinformation and disinformation. The findings revealed that the state’s narrative about Gerwani was systematically constructed to support the New Order regime’s political agenda through the manipulation of information. These biases led to dangerous epistemic failures and justified violence and the erasure of women’s historical roles. The study concluded that a Pancasila-based philosophy of intelligence, especially the epistemology of intelligence, was necessary to prevent future misuse of intelligence practices. It was recommended that state intelligence agencies prioritize truth, justice, and human rights principles to create an ethical and accountable intelligence system aligned with democratic values.

<i>GOTONG ROYONG</i> AS POLITICAL PRAXIS: COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY AND DEMOCRATIC ACTION Adian, Donny Gahral

This research explores gotong royong, an indigenous Indonesian concept of mutual cooperation, as an alternative political culture in the face of liberal individualism and capitalist competition. Drawing from the philosophical legacy of Soekarno, Indonesia’s founding president, the research situates gotong royong not merely as a traditional value, but as a dynamic political principle grounded in tolerance, solidarity, and social justice. Soekarno’s vision of democracy transcends procedural liberalism by emphasizing equal capabilities, not just equal opportunities, thereby addressing the structural and cultural barriers that hinder political participation for marginalized citizens. Through a comparative lens, the article juxtaposes the atomizing effects of liberalism—where personal rights become barriers to collective action—with gotong royong as a praxis of ethical responsibility and collective agency. It integrates Hannah Arendt’s distinction between labor, work, and action to highlight how gotong royong embodies a form of praxis that reveals the plurality and interdependence of human existence within public life. In this view, politics is not a battlefield of interests but a space for enacting shared values and sustaining communal well-being. The research also grounds its arguments in practical examples, notably the tanggung renteng cooperative model, a community-based economic system rooted in shared decision-making, risk-bearing, and responsibility. This system reflects the ethical dimensions of gotong royong, where mutual trust and empathy guide economic relations and prevent default through collective discipline. The model illustrates how economic participation can be democratized through cultural mechanisms rather than imposed market logic. Ultimately, the research contends that gotong royong is not a nostalgic relic but a forward-looking political imagination that revitalizes public life. It offers a philosophical and practical response to the erosion of social capital and the commodification of political space. As a living principle embedded in Indonesia’s constitutional ideals, gotong royong affirms that genuine political emancipation must be rooted in human solidarity and shared responsibility. The revitalization of this principle is essential for cultivating rational, empathetic, and initiative-taking citizens who act not out of self-interest, but for the collective good.

Electoral democracy is commonly evaluated through procedural criteria, whereas the epistemic conditions that shape citizens’ political judgments remain insufficiently theorized. This article addresses this gap by reconceptualizing electoral perception as an epistemic structure through which political knowledge is formed prior to electoral choice. Employing a normative-conceptual approach, it synthesizes social epistemology, Miranda Fricker’s theory of epistemic injustice, and Islamic epistemology to examine how political knowledge is produced, transmitted, verified, recognized, and critically evaluated within electoral contexts. The analysis demonstrates that electoral perception is constituted through testimony, trust, epistemic authority, credibility, and epistemic justice, while informational distortion and unequal distributions of credibility undermine democratic legitimacy by weakening citizens’ epistemic agency. The article develops an Islamic Ethics of Electoral Perception grounded in six interrelated principles—ṣidq, amānah, shahādah, tabayyun, ‘adl, and epistemic muḥāsabah—as a normative framework for evaluating political knowledge. It argues that democratic legitimacy depends not only on procedural fairness but also on an epistemically just environment that enables citizens to exercise responsible political judgment as epistemic agents.

This article examines the problem of legal interpretation by critically analyzing the limitations of legal positivism and exploring Ronald Dworkin’s hermeneutic approach to adjudication. The study departs from the premise that legal texts are never entirely self-explanatory and that literal interpretation cannot adequately respond to the complexity of evolving social realities. Through a conceptual and philosophical analysis, the article contrasts H.L.A. Hart’s distinction between easy cases and hard cases with Dworkin’s theory of constructive interpretation. While Hart allows judicial discretion in hard cases, Dworkin argues that judges should remain bound to legal texts by uncovering the moral principles embedded within them rather than relying on subjective discretion. Legal interpretation, therefore, is understood as a constructive process that integrates legal rules, moral principles, and political ethics into a coherent judicial narrative. The article further demonstrates that adjudication is not merely the mechanical application of statutory provisions but an interpretive practice aimed at preserving the integrity of law. Nevertheless, it also identifies several philosophical limitations in Dworkin’s theory, particularly regarding the assumption that every legal text contains a discoverable original moral purpose and a coherent narrative unity. The article concludes that hermeneutic reasoning provides a more convincing framework than strict legal positivism for addressing contemporary legal disputes while simultaneously requiring critical reflection on the epistemological assumptions underlying legal interpretation.
