Abstract

The theme raised in this paper focuses on the attitude needed by a Muslim towards the food, concept, and role of Islamic Philosophy, especially when facing challenges that come from outside (non-Muslims) and from within (Muslims). The attitude in question is very necessary to deal with negative sentiments about misguidance and disbelief in Islamic philosophy and negative sentiments that doubt Islamic philosophy as an original philosophy because of the influence of Greek philosophy in it. In order to develop this attitude, it is necessary to know first the meaning, concept, and role of Islamic philosophy to explain the situation and problems that gave birth to these two negative sentiments. After that, it will be shown how to behave to show that Islamic philosophy is not something forbidden and is not a copy of previous philosophies.

Abstract

Today's global ecological crisis demands an interdisciplinary approach that relies not only on technology and policy but also on spiritual values ​​and local wisdom. This article explores the concept of rimbo in Minangkabau culture as a representation of the integrative relationship between spirituality and ecology. Rimbo, which means forest, in Minangkabau cosmology has a broader meaning as a sacred space that stores spiritual values, ecological ethics, and social rules based on customs. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological-hermeneutic method. Data were collected through a literature study of traditional manuscripts, interviews with local traditional figures and clerics, and participatory observation in the rimbo area. The study results show that rimbo is not only viewed as a natural resource but also as a cosmological entity inhabited by spiritual beings and protected through strict customary norms. Values ​​such as the prohibition of excessive exploitation, deliberation in management, and respect for the guardian spirits of nature show that rimbo bridges humans, nature, and the transcendent dimension. These findings indicate that integrating spirituality and ecology in the Rimbo concept can contribute significantly to the discourse of ecotheology and environmental conservation practices based on local culture. This study recommends a cross-cultural approach in building a new sustainability paradigm rooted in local spirituality and cosmology.

Abstract

This article examines Ibn Khaldun’s refutation of philosophy. This refutation is confusing because of his position as a prominent Muslim philosopher. How can a philosopher refute philosophy? In a broader context, Ibn Khaldun’s refutation warrants study because he represents the position of a philosopher-cum-religious figure amid a latent conflict between the rational-philosophical and scriptural-religious perspectives. This article aims to fill the gap in studies regarding Ibn Khaldun’s attitude towards philosophy, which has thus far focused more on his refutation and neglected the relationship between his refutation and his acceptance. To achieve this goal, qualitative research was conducted on Ibn Khaldun’s works along with other writings from journal articles, books, and online literature discussing this topic. Data analysis was carried out using a productive hermeneutic approach to generate a new understanding of his refutation. The research indicates that Ibn Khaldun not only refuted but also accepted philosophy. His stance reveals a persistent condition of ambivalence toward several fundamental philosophical issues. In Ibn Khaldun’s thought, this condition of ambivalence operates as both a discursive and an epistemological strategy, enabling the integration of a rational–philosophical worldview with a scriptural–religious one. Framing his position through this lens of ambivalence, which is advanced in this article as a distinctive analytical perspective, offers a fresh and nuanced understanding of his engagement with philosophy. In the broader context, this perspective of ambivalence serves as a fresh interpretive framework for understanding the refutation of philosophy in the Islamic world, particularly as articulated by a philosopher-cum-religious figure.
