Abstract

Child bullying cases increased significantly following the pandemic and took its toll on the need for emergency tackling and preventive action. This research focused on philosophy as a an approach to character building, using the synthesis method of literature views which also inspired from previous teachings known as Philosophy for Children (P4C), combined with hands-on experiment simulation. The aim is to discover a practical learning concept to enable philosophy to be introduced in children's classrooms at a certain age. Researchers found the intersection between philosophy and child character building beneficial in refining their empathy cognitively and creating better generations in avoidance of abusive behavior as part of their day-to-day education. In the discussion, philosophy was introduced choosing the ideas of Jacques Derrida which are considered relevant. Reflective to his childhood, in which Derrida had experienced discrimination, the experience evolved in his breakthrough ideas of hermeneutics, using the deconstruction technique. The simulation experiment study shall revolve around Derrida’s Trace Theory and Différance, both a refreshing concept as learning materials. The result is a recommendation that philosophy worth being considered as an instrument of learning activity in Indonesia’s classroom, using simulation method that can invoke further curiosity in children’s critical thinking and character education.

Abstract

In contemporary Indonesian society, religious groups face critical challenges in maintaining cohesive relationships amidst increasing individualism and political engagement opportunities. The tendency toward individuation—where members prioritize personal interests over collective goals—threatens to erode the foundational bonds of voluntarism and shared commitment that characterize these communities. This research aims to explore the concept of intersubjectivity, particularly Gabriel Marcel's philosophy of co-esse (being-with), as a restorative framework for addressing disputive relationships within religious groups, while synthesizing insights from Edmund Husserl's empathy and Martin Buber's dialogical philosophy. The study employs a qualitative method based on literature review with a descriptive-analytical philosophical-theological approach, utilizing hermeneutic interpretation and thematic content analysis of primary philosophical texts and contemporary empirical studies on Indonesian religious group dynamics. The analysis reveals that Husserlian empathy provides the foundation for recognizing shared reality through analogical apperception, Buberian dialogue distinguishes authentic I–Thou encounters from instrumental I–It relationships, and Marcelian intersubjectivity offers the most comprehensive framework by grounding human existence in relational ontology rather than isolated individualism. The research concludes that Marcel's intersubjectivity transforms relationships from strategic utility to existential co-existence, providing both diagnostic clarity and normative guidance for religious communities navigating political complexities. The implications extend theoretically by bridging existential phenomenology with empirical social analysis, practically by offering ethical frameworks for group governance and leadership formation, and policy-wise by suggesting governmental approaches that respect communal character rather than incentivizing instrumental participation, thereby strengthening both religious group integrity and broader social cohesion.
