Abstract

This study aims to critically examine the dominance of algorithm-based education in the contemporary digital era and to reconstruct Islamic educational philosophy as a critical framework against secular digital humanism. The phenomenon addressed in this research is the increasing reliance on algorithms, artificial intelligence, and data-driven systems in education, which tend to reduce human beings to functional and measurable subjects while positioning education as a technical process oriented toward efficiency and performance. Such conditions marginalize the spiritual, moral, and existential dimensions of education. This study employs a qualitative philosophical approach using critical-conceptual analysis, drawing upon classical and contemporary sources in Islamic educational philosophy and digital education studies. The analysis focuses on the epistemological and ontological assumptions underlying secular digital humanism and contrasts them with key concepts in Islamic educational thought, such as tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the soul), ta’dīb (formation of adab), and the ideal of insān kāmil. The findings reveal that Islamic educational philosophy functions not merely as a complementary value system but as a fundamental philosophical critique that challenges the reductionist logic of algorithmic education. This study further demonstrates that Islamic philosophy reorients educational goals by subordinating technology and algorithms to transcendental purposes centered on soul formation and moral integrity. The main contribution of this research lies in offering a humanistic–transcendental framework that enriches global discussions on digital education by integrating spiritual and ethical dimensions that are largely absent from mainstream secular approaches.

Abstract

The Anderenat tradition is a ritual practice of the Gili Iyang community that articulates a complex relationship between spirituality, ecology, and social life. While commonly understood as a rain-invoking ceremony, this study argues that Anderenat functions more broadly as a cultural mechanism for negotiating human–nature relations in a context of environmental vulnerability. Drawing on cultural philosophy and cultural studies, this research analyzes ritual symbolism—particularly water, local plants, traditional music, and communal labor—as embodied forms of indigenous environmental knowledge and spiritual ethics. The analysis demonstrates that Anderenat operates as a site of ecological pedagogy, transmitting environmental values across generations while reinforcing collective identity and social solidarity. Moreover, the ritual reveals how local communities mobilize spiritual and cultural resources to respond to contemporary ecological and social transformations. By situating Anderenat within wider debates on ritual ecology and indigenous environmental knowledge, this study contributes to international discussions on how ritual practices function as culturally grounded responses to environmental sustainability beyond technocratic and policy-driven frameworks.
