Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between religion and politics through a comparative examination of the thoughts of Charles Taylor and Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas in their respective responses to secularism. Employing a qualitative method and a library research approach, the study draws on the primary works of both thinkers as well as relevant academic references. This study is motivated by the absence of a deep philosophical dialogue between Western political philosophy and Islamic thought in redefining the ethical foundations of the modern pluralistic state. This article argues that Taylor’s approach is relevant for promoting equality in pluralistic societies such as Indonesia, whereas al-Attas emphasizes a substantive reconstruction of values through the integration of science and religion.

Abstract

This study examines the digital activism of the Young Interfaith Peacemaker Community (YIPC) Yogyakarta in promoting tolerance, using Jurgen Habermas’s theory of deliberative democracy as an analytical framework. Adopting a qualitative research design with an intersubjective approach, the study involved three key informants who serve as YIPC facilitators. Data were collected through structured interviews, a review of Habermas’s theoretical works, and an analysis of public comments and interactions on YIPC’s Instagram account. Data analysis was conducted through curation, categorization, and thematic interpretation to explore conceptual dimensions, the formation of collective public opinion, the quality of rational debate, and the capacity to mediate between society and the state. The findings indicate that YIPC contributes to the development of a relatively inclusive digital public sphere and promotes pro-tolerance narratives through creative content, cross-community collaboration, and the empowerment of young content creators from marginalized groups. However, engagement with negative comments, while increasing visibility, occasionally generates less rational exchanges that weaken deliberative quality. Furthermore, YIPC’s role in mediating public policy remains limited, as its activities are primarily oriented toward education and community engagement rather than formal advocacy. These findings highlight both the potential and the limitations of digital activism in advancing deliberative democratic ideals within social media contexts.
