Abstract

The philosophy of life of the Batak tribe, namely Dalihan Na Tolu, is believed to be able to maintain order in the social life of the Batak community and family. Dalihan Na Tolu determines the form of greeting, position and attitude that applies in traditional ceremonies and daily life. Amid the rapid current flow of globalization, there are fears that the local wisdom of traditional culture, including the philosophy of life that has been believed for a long time, will erode, especially among families living in metropolitan cities whose infiltration or infiltration. The mixing of cultures is very dynamic and robust. This research was conducted to reveal how the Batak community in the metropolitan city perceives the values of Dalihan Na Tolu. The study shows that among the Batak settlers in Jakarta, the value of Dalihan Na Tolu is still highly understood, accepted, and appreciated, even though the breadth of knowledge and depth of meaning is different. Some factors that influence these differences include sub-ethnic origin, profession, the intensity of the Batak community association, and position in the family. The study's results also concluded that the childhood environment had a significant effect on the internalization of cultural values.

Abstract

The latest technology considered relevant to the times' needs makes people from the newest civilisation abandon and forget traditional technology that has even been tested for hundreds of years in overcoming various problems of its time. One is Poda Na Lima, philosophical teaching about mental attitude and lifestyle in Batak civilisation. Now, this philosophy is still known in the Batak community. However, the problem is in the implementation. This study explores and translates the values of Poda Na Lima to draw their relevance to the potential for solving the Covid-19 problem, which is still a problem in the global community. This research and study analyse the Poda Na Lima, a philosophy using the Sociosemiotics analysis knife. The sociosemiotics point of view is appropriate in describing the problems related to this research and study. It becomes a research method, analysis, and conclusion that can ultimately prove that the values and derivatives of the implementation of Poda Na Lima can be used as standards and guidelines for overcoming the Covid-19 problem and any other public health problems.

Abstract

The foundational ethos of a nation-state is inextricably linked with long-standing cultural tenets, often encapsulated in a codified philosophy that predates the state's formal establishment. These traditional values serve as an authoritative framework for addressing complex societal issues. Specifically, in the Indonesian context, there is a discernible challenge characterized by a multifaceted set of issues and inherent complexities in devising effective solutions. It is posited that these dilemmas can be ameliorated by adhering to the country's ingrained philosophical and traditional mores. If such a philosophy is rooted in religious principles, it is only through the application of these religious teachings that the veracity of traditional customs can be affirmed. In this regard, Islam is particularly salient as a religion of 'rahmatan lil'alamin,' possessing a universal applicability that encompasses all facets of human existence. The impetus for this research lies in its potential to catalyze a reorientation of societal perspectives, specifically among the Batak tribe. The objective is to align communal practices, including architectural and infrastructural developments, with the precepts of the Poda Na Lima philosophy. This alignment will be achieved by first establishing the points of congruence between the Poda Na Lima philosophy and the tribe’s religious and ethnic identity as Muslims and Bataks, respectively. To achieve this, the study employs qualitative methodologies guided by critical discourse analysis. The results unequivocally indicate that the quintessential principles enshrined in the Poda Na Lima philosophy are not merely instructive but also possess significant intrinsic value. Moreover, the entirety of the Poda Na Lima's content is congruent with and complementary to, Islamic doctrine.

Abstract

The extended journey towards both economic and political modernization within Indonesia's democratic framework has led to a transformation of its society into an industrialized community. However, this change has largely failed to boost the economic prospects of the general populace. Moreover, the turbulent nature of Indonesia's democratic evolution has not aligned well with the principles of open dialogue and inclusive discussion, as advocated by its foundational philosophy, Pancasila. Over the last 15 years, the amalgamation of development-oriented politics and political liberalization has exerted a detrimental impact on the nation's unique cultural identity and wisdom. The upcoming research aims to revisit and revitalize the indigenous political ideologies and social values held by various ethnic groups and community structures in Indonesia. The objective is to shed light on the unexplored potential of social capital to enhance the quality of the country's democratic governance. The research will focus on two main categories for its case study: Firstly, it will delve into ethnic groups, concentrating specifically on the Wajo and Minang communities; Secondly, it will study communities that are active in a number of urban parks across the Java region. The study is rooted in the theoretical framework of consultative democracy and will utilize qualitative research methods interpreted through the lens of political anthropology to obtain nuanced, context-rich insights.

Abstract

This article critically examines Darwin's theory of human origins through a phenomenological lens, highlighting perceived misconceptions embedded within the narrative of evolution. While Darwin's theory, emphasizing natural selection and biological processes, has profoundly influenced scientific thought, it has also faced significant scrutiny for its reductionist approach to human existence. This study explores how the theory often overlooks humanity's spiritual, cultural, and moral dimensions, reducing humans to mere biological entities. By analyzing phenomenological critiques and participant narratives, the article reveals the limitations of Darwinian evolution in fully explaining human consciousness, identity, and purpose. It also discusses the cultural and ethical implications of applying Darwinian principles to society, particularly concerning social inequality and moral relativism. The study concludes by advocating for integrative frameworks that combine scientific understanding with humanistic values, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue and alternative perspectives on human origins.
