Abstract

Inter-religious harmony is a crucial aspect in maintaining social stability and community harmony in Indonesia. This study discusses the factors that disrupt inter-religious harmony through a metaphysical perspective, specifically by referring to the concept of metaphysics of togetherness from philosopher Gabriel Marcel. The research method used is a literature study that focuses on analysing theories and concepts in various related literatures. The results show that the concept of human relations, namely the ‘I-You’ and ‘I-Ia’ relations, has a significant influence in shaping patterns of social interaction that can support or hinder harmony. Tolerance and the principle of religious freedom are the main factors in realising harmony, supported by philosophical foundations and religious teachings. In addition, factors that disrupt religious harmony include discrimination, differences in interpretation of religious teachings, and political interests that utilise religious issues for certain interests. To overcome these disturbances, an awareness of the importance of the principles of justice, respect for diversity, and an understanding that human life is basically ‘existing together’ with others is needed. This study confirms that building inter-religious harmony requires not only social and legal approaches, but also philosophical awareness of the essence of human existence as interconnected beings.

Abstract

Religious modernisation has brought about significant changes in religious practice and understanding, which have impacted on the values of Pancasila as Indonesia's state ideology. This study explores how religious modernisation affects the values of Pancasila, particularly the first precept, in the perspective of the metaphysics of divinity. Using the literature study method, this research analyses the impact of modernisation on the nation's fundamental values, both positively and negatively. The results show that religious modernisation can strengthen religious understanding through wider access to information, but also risks eroding the value of spirituality due to excessive rationalisation. In the perspective of divine metaphysics, a balance between rationality and spirituality is needed so that the values of Pancasila remain relevant in modern life. This study emphasises the importance of philosophical and transcendental approaches in maintaining harmony between the progress of the times and noble traditional values.
