Abstract

Lévinas’ notion of responsibility has two characters: concrete and asymmetric. These two characters of responsibility can be capitalized to foster hope in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic that is currently sweeping the world. An encounter with others, especially with those who are suffering from Covid-19, is not merely a physical encounter. This encounter gives birth to responsibility and realization that those who suffer are not “the others.” This awareness eliminates the desire to treat others as objects that can be used to fulfill their own needs. On the other hand, this awareness of responsibility breeds hope for those who suffer that they are not alone. In order to foster hope in those who suffer, the actions and responsibilities taken always have an asymmetric character.

Abstract

The Manggarai community is increasingly concerned about the erosion of their local wisdom, particularly the awareness of relationships with others, nature, and the Creator. This decline is reflected in the rise of gang fights, tribal conflicts, and natural disasters, leading to a loss of togetherness and responsibility. Despite this, the Manggarai possess valuable wisdom on living together peacefully and fairly, expressed through art, literature, social systems, rituals, and religious ceremonies. This study explores the ethics of responsibility within the Manggarai community, focusing on the Oke Dara Ta’a ritual, and draws on Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophical framework. The Oke Dara Ta’a ritual is performed when someone dies unnaturally—through violence, accidents, disasters, or fights—to remove bad luck and protect other family members. The Manggarai believe that Dara Ta’a results from disharmony with others, ancestors, and the Creator. Levinas’s philosophy asserts that ethics arise from encountering the “face” of the other, which inherently demands responsibility. His ideas provide a lens to understand the ethical responsibility embodied in the Oke Dara Ta’a ritual. This qualitative study uses interviews with traditional leaders and ritual practitioners, grounded in phenomenological philosophy. The research highlights the significance of Manggarai local wisdom in fostering social and ethical responsibility
