Abstract

This study analyzes how civil society communities in Indonesia—particularly in West Java and Yogyakarta—respond to and resist femicide as the most extreme form of gender-based violence. The research is driven by the growing prevalence of femicide and the absence of legal recognition of its structural and gendered nature in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach and a collective case study design, this study focuses on six grassroots organizations: Sekolah Damai Indonesia Bandung, Perspektif Sosiologi, Iteung Gugat, Youth, Interfaith and Peace (YIP) Center, Puan Hayati, and Srikandi Lintas Iman. Data were gathered through interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that these communities play critical roles not only in advocacy but also in psychosocial support, safe space formation, and the production of counter-narratives that confront patriarchal and symbolic violence. Functioning as cultural, political, and therapeutic agents, they fill the gaps left by institutional inaction. However, the study also highlights structural dysfunction: the burden of advocacy is disproportionately placed on these communities, while systemic failures in law, media, and education continue to normalize gender-based violence. Theoretically, the study integrates Berger and Luckmann’s theory of social construction with Galtung’s concept of structural violence and positive peace to frame femicide as both symbolic and systemic. This research contributes original insights to Indonesian gender studies by mapping community-based resistance to femicide—an area rarely examined—and by emphasizing the urgency of intersectoral policy reform and institutional support.

Abstract

This study critically examines how Western philosophy constructs epistemic hegemony through historical, methodological, and terminological mechanisms, and explores how non-Western traditions such as Confucianism and Daoism can be recognized as complete and authentic without undergoing conceptual subordination. This research is significant as the discourse of global philosophy remains dominated by Western epistemic structures that limit the plurality of rational forms. Employing a qualitative, literature-based approach, this study analyzes key metaphilosophical texts, Jacques Derrida’s theory of deconstruction, and Alain Badiou’s ontology as conceptual tools to trace power relations embedded in the definitions and boundaries of philosophy. The findings reveal that Western philosophy has institutionalized a linear historical narrative, logical-deductive methodological standards, and a Greek-Latin vocabulary as prerequisites for philosophical validity—resulting in the systematic exclusion of non-Western thought. The study further proposes a conceptual framework of dialogical exclusive multiplicity as an alternative for recognizing truth procedures in non-Western traditions as autonomous and equal. The implications of this research open avenues for deconstructing philosophy as the sole legitimate mode of thinking and promote the formation of a more epistemically just global philosophical ecosystem. The originality of this study lies in its critical synthesis of metaphilosophy, deconstruction, and contemporary ontology to construct an alternative paradigm for cross-traditional philosophical inquiry—one based not on inclusion, but on recognition and articulative equality.

Abstract

This study delves into the philosophical and epistemological interpretation of the Heart Sutra, emphasizing the conjunction between rational and mystical thought processes. The paper illustrates how the Sutra promotes an intertwined understanding of reality through textual analysis and comparative discussion involving Eastern and Western philosophical perspectives. The exploration reveals that the Heart Sutra serves as a profound guide, advocating for a balanced comprehension that integrates empirical rationality and mystical insight. The findings suggest that the notion of 'Shunyata' or emptiness encapsulates a complex relational understanding of being, where rational knowledge and mystical experiences are not only coexistent but mutually inclusive. This conjunctive approach challenges the conventional boundaries of epistemic thought and offers a comprehensive framework for understanding reality's multifaceted nature. This research contributes to the broader discourse on integrating traditional philosophical insights with contemporary epistemological frameworks, enriching both academic and practical understanding of spiritual texts.

Abstract

According to Antonio Negri, one may recognize the modern culture with hegemonizing power of the Empire or the superstate which is a mutual symbiosis of liberal democracy and modern capitalism. On the one hand the Empire attempts to subjugate and to regulate whatever social domains inasmuch as there is no longer insurgent agents which are capable to live outside the political and economical structure of this power. On the other hand, the more the Empire regulates social life the more the social domains per se are becoming fluid and modifiable. This flexibility or fluidity of social domains embodies within a kind of social body, which Negri names as the multitude. Agents of this kind of adaptable collectivity inherently exhibit natural capability of sharing. The capability to share of the multitude makes the Empire difficult to completely defeat and to conquer the social life. In other words, the multitude opposes the power to unify everything under the single political and economical flag of The Empire. Negri argues for this resistant capablity as the biopolitics of the multitude against the disciplinary force of the Empire. Nowadays, the capability of sharing is something familiar for nearly all local cultures in Indonesian Archipelago. Negri’s account of the power of sharing of the multitude reminds us in order to revitalize this capability of sharing within our cultural heritages.

Abstract

Cosmology is not limited to the questions of the origin and the end of all beings or to the law and order of the universe from the perspective of modern sciences. One can perceive cosmology as a knowledge model of the universe which sets in a non-Western model of knowing. The Sundanese cosmology is an example of this model. Instead of mathematical and physical explanation, it focuses on the mythological description of the universe. Such description can be found in narrative poems (pantun) and pious lessons. This paper observes the non-western knowledge model and puts it in its context, which is geographically equivalent to Southern and Eastern Asia. An overview of the Rig Veda and Daodejing is included to describe the cosmological models in these cultural contexts. The Sundanese cosmology reverberates these models. An elaboration of Sundanese narrative poems and an old Sundanese manuscript, Sewaka Darma, indicates the similarities of the Sundanese cosmology to the cultural contexts and the knowledge models referred to. The Sundanese model enacts ‘mountain’ and the metaphor of ‘filled nothingness’ as the cosmological model. The Sundanese cosmological model portrays a down-upward journey to experience ‘moksa’ (the ultimate enlightment). This journey utilizes meditative practices and everyday deeds by means of our social and cultural roles.

Abstract

One who learns and reads Western Philosophy is familiar with theDecartes' proposition 'cogito ergo sum'. This proposition becomesontological and epistemological reason of our existence.Nevertheless, one can also explore another reason of existence, notonly this Cartesian proposition considered the universal. A nuanceof affirmation implied within a local tradition of wisdom can be theother ontological and epistemological reason. Therefore, anexploration the nuance of affirmation in Asian tradition of wisdomis necessarily discovered this alternative reason of existence (1).One can discover such alternative reason from a local worldviewand philosophical narration in a local tradition of wisdom (2). Thisarticle observes the worldview and philosophical narration ofSundanese people. The observation offers a further interpretationto the Sundanese worldview and philosophical narration. Thepurpose of this interpretation is to formulate the nuance ofaffirmation as it is implied in the local system of knowledge. Aprinciple of affirmation is derived from the interpretation of thesystem of knowledge (3). The interpretation also becomes a furtherinvitation to explore and to find out an intercultural understandingand dialogues of various systems of knowledge (4).

Abstract

In the last decade, scientists in almost all disciplines often elaborate happiness using interdisciplinary approaches, metodologies, and measurements, both quantitative and qualitative. Beside scientific approaches, one can also explore this topic from the viewpoint of speculative and phenomenological thinking. This viewpoint describes the experiences of happiness by realising empirical and rational knowledge as well as esoteric consciousness of reality as such. It is Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi), whose thoughts elaborate cognitive and intuitive sides of human mind, who offers a philosophy in order to bring forward an awareness of reality as itself. Chuang Tzu argues for a realisation of conjunction of both cognitive and intuitive capabilities of human mind, as well as its rational and mystical sides. The realisation of both natural capabilities brings about conditions for modern people’s experience of happiness.
The Social Construction of the Myth of Paddy Goddess in Sundanese Culture Djunatan, Stephanus

Abstract

This research aims to find a sociological understanding of the Mother Earth myth in the Sundanese tradition in West Java, Indonesia. Based on an intercultural approach in philosophy, researchers combine cross-disciplinary analysis, namely philosophy, sociology and anthropology. This combination of interdisciplinary studies complements methods of interpreting texts and contexts regarding cognitive understanding, especially the principles of reasoning about meaningful worldviews in everyday life. The results of this interpretation are principles of reasoning or logic called functional logic. This argument about the logic of function starts from two layers of interpretation of two elements in the culture of agrarian society. The first element is the mythology of the Paddy Goddess, and the second element is the mythical figure of the Paddy Goddess, which is the main symbol in the description of rice cultivation. These two elements contain an understanding of the paradoxical relationship between two aspects that combine with each other in the management and structuring of the agricultural world. These two aspects are found in parental culture: father and mother. This study presents the interpretation of the text and context of the mythology and symbols of the Paddy Goddess and the practice of rice cultivation. Interpretation of mythology, the symbol of Paddy Goddess and rice cultivation requires a synchronic approach and emic analysis to conclude the implied meaning, namely the principle of function as the core meaning implied in the mythology of Paddy Goddess and Rice cultivation. This interpretation shows that logic functions as the main principle of reasoning that combines various cultural elements into a logical and meaningful 'way of seeing' the life world, which influences Sundanese people consciously or not in experiencing their culture in a logical and meaningful way.
