Abstract

The modern humanism crisis is marked by the reduction of the human being into a material, economic, or algorithmic entity, accompanied by digital fragmentation, identity instability, and the loss of spiritual orientation. This condition reveals the limitations of secular humanism in addressing the ontological and ethical needs of contemporary individuals. This study aims to examine how the re-actualization of Islamic philosophy can provide a holistic and relevant alternative to modern humanism. Employing philosophical library research with a qualitative hermeneutic approach, the study analyzes classical Islamic philosophical texts alongside contemporary literature on humanism, spirituality, and modern crises. The findings demonstrate that the Islamic philosophical conception of the human, integrating rational, spiritual, moral, and cosmological dimensions, offers a more comprehensive ontological and epistemological foundation compared to the atomistic nature of modern humanism. By synthesizing reason (‘aql), revelation, virtue ethics, and a teleological understanding of life, the proposed Islamic humanistic framework effectively responds to contemporary challenges such as existential anxiety, digital disruption, moral decline, and ecological degradation. The study concludes that re-actualizing Islamic philosophy is not a nostalgic return to the past but a constructive effort to rebuild human dignity through the integration of rationality, spirituality, and transcendental values

Abstract

The moral crisis among Generation Z is a serious challenge in the context of 21st-century education, especially amidst the dominance of digital culture that influences their mindset, behavior, and ethical values. This generation grew up in a social environment dominated by value relativism, instant information consumption, and minimal moral role models from the family and community environment. In conditions like this, the normative and cognitive Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning approach has proven unable to touch the affective and existential dimensions of students. This study uses a literature study method with a qualitative-descriptive approach to explore the relevance and effectiveness of the humanistic approach in internalizing the values of akhlakul karimah. The humanistic approach, which emphasizes respect for personal experience, self-reflection, and empathetic relationships, is considered more capable of bridging religious teachings with students' real lives. Strategies such as experiential learning, contextual teaching and learning (CTL), and value clarification techniques (VCT) are important instruments in presenting transformative and meaningful value education. This study recommends the need for curriculum reform, humanistic teacher training, and a school culture that supports active participation and moral awareness of students. Thus, Islamic Religious Education can be a space for character formation that is not only formally religious, but also socially and spiritually meaningful.

Abstract

The historical narrative of Western intellectual development often obscures the profound contributions of Islamic philosophy, frequently reducing the Islamic Golden Age to a mere preservation period for Hellenistic thought. This research aims to re-evaluate the specific mechanisms and depth of Islamic influence on the Western intellectual tradition, specifically during the Scholastic revolution. A qualitative historical-philosophical design was employed, utilizing hermeneutic analysis and diachronic mapping of primary Arabic texts and their subsequent Latin translations. Findings reveal that Muslim polymaths like Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd were not passive conduits but original innovators who provided the metaphysical and logical scaffolding for Western Scholasticism. The study identifies a systematic “transcultural synthesis” where Islamic rationalism fundamentally restructured European epistemology, particularly regarding the distinction between essence and existence and the development of empirical methodologies. This research concludes that the Western philosophical canon is a hybrid construct deeply rooted in Islamic intellectual labor, necessitating a decolonized approach to the history of ideas. Recognizing this shared heritage challenges Eurocentric biases and promotes a more inclusive understanding of global human progress.

Abstract

Background. The advent of the digital age has drastically transformed the way knowledge is accessed, interpreted, and disseminated. In this context, classical philosophical inquiries into knowledge, truth, and interpretation are being revisited, with new questions emerging about their relevance and application in the age of digital information. Purpose. This research seeks to explore the intersection of classical philosophy and the digital era, examining how timeless philosophical concepts can be adapted to address the challenges and complexities introduced by digital technologies. The main objective of this study is to investigate how classical philosophical perspectives on knowledge, truth, and interpretation can provide valuable insights into understanding the dynamics of the digital age. The study aims to bridge the gap between classical philosophical theories and contemporary digital challenges, exploring how traditional concepts can inform current debates about information, misinformation, and digital ethics. Method. This research employs a qualitative, comparative analysis of classical philosophical texts, including works by Plato, Aristotle, and Kant, in relation to contemporary digital phenomena. A thematic analysis is used to explore the application of these classical ideas to current digital issues, such as the spread of fake news, the ethics of AI, and the role of social media in shaping public opinion. Results. The study finds that classical philosophies on knowledge and truth remain relevant in understanding the digital age, offering frameworks for critically evaluating information and guiding ethical digital practices. Conclusion. The research concludes that revisiting classical philosophy in the digital age provides important insights into managing the challenges of knowledge and truth in a rapidly evolving information landscape.
