Abstract

ABSTRAK (Indonesia): This study examines the role of Catholic Youth (Orang Muda Katolik/OMK) in proclaiming the Gospel in the digital era through a pastoral theological perspective on the sanctification of the digital world. Employing a qualitative phenomenological descriptive approach, data were collected through open-ended written interviews conducted online with 13 participants and supported by systematic literature review. The analysis was carried out using thematic analysis to identify patterns of faith interpretation, digital engagement, and ethical practice. The findings indicate that OMK understand evangelization primarily as authentic Christian witness embodied in daily digital interaction rather than merely verbal proclamation. Digital media is perceived not only as a communication tool but as a cultural and pastoral space where faith, identity, and relationships are negotiated. Despite challenges such as performative pressure, digital fatigue, and exposure to conflicting values, OMK demonstrate reflective and responsible engagement in cultivating ethical and humanizing online communication. This study contributes to pastoral theology by positioning youths’ digital experiences as a locus of theological reflection and by mapping the relational connection between evangelization, digital practice, and the sanctification of the digital world.

Abstract

This article examines the reconstruction of Islamic moral education through the integration of value pluralism within the framework of Islamic educational philosophy. The study addresses the challenge of moral complexity and value conflicts in contemporary pluralistic Muslim societies. The research aims to formulate a conceptual model of moral education that remains normatively grounded in Islamic values while being responsive to value diversity. Using a qualitative library research design, the study applies philosophical–normative analysis to key works in moral philosophy and Islamic educational thought, particularly the concepts of tawḥīd and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The findings indicate that value pluralism can serve as a reflective ethical framework that acknowledges the diversity and incommensurability of values without leading to moral relativism. When dialogically integrated with Islamic normative principles, it produces a conceptual model of Islamic moral education that is adaptive, dialogical, and normatively oriented, fostering students’ capacity for moral deliberation and ethical responsibility in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the shahada through the framework of speech act theory developed by John Langshaw Austin. Traditionally, the shahada has been interpreted within a normative theological framework as a declaration of faith and the foundation of Muslim identity. This research aims to broaden that understanding by examining the shahada as a performative utterance that carries linguistic action and social implications. The study employs a qualitative approach based on library research and conceptual analysis of Austin’s speech act theory and its systematic development by John Searle. The findings demonstrate that the recitation of the shahada can be understood as a performative act involving locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary dimensions simultaneously. Within the social context, the shahada functions as a linguistic declaration that marks an individual’s transition into the Muslim community. However, the analysis also reveals  the limitation of speech act theory in addressing the ontological and existential-transcendent dimension of the shahada, since Austin’s performativity primarily relies on social conventions rather than theological realities that transcend linguistic structures.

Abstract

This article examines Paulo Freire’s problem-posing education through the perspective of intersubjectivity in Merleau-Ponty. The purpose of this study is to clarify the implicit intersubjective dimension within problem-posing education, which is not explicitly formulated by Freire but structurally present in his pedagogical framework. This research employs a qualitative method based on library research, using a hermeneutic approach to interpret Freire’s concept of education in dialogue with Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of the body, the presence of the other, and the language as the genesis of meaning. This study demonstrates that problem-posing education presupposes an understanding of human as embodied subjects who are always already open to others and to the world. Teacher-student relations are thus understood as subject-subject relations rather than hierarchical or objectifying ones. Language is not treated merely as technical instrument for transmitting, but as an expressive and constitutive medium through which meaning medium emerges intersubjectively. The main conclusion of this study shows that problem-posing education is grounded in an ontological dimension of intersubjectivity, where education is understood as an existential encounter between subjects who collectively disclose unfinished meanings in the world. This perspective offers a philosophical foundation for dialogical education    and highlights its relevance for contemporary educational challenges.

Abstract

The question of God's existence has always been a central issue in philosophy and theology, even amidst the development of science and contemporary secularism. This article examines the relevance of cosmological and teleological arguments as rational foundations for belief in God's existence. This paper employs qualitative research using a literature review approach and descriptive analysis. The cosmological argument emphasizes that the existence of the universe requires a first cause beyond itself, while the teleological argument highlights the order and purpose inherent in the cosmos that cannot be explained by mere chance. Both have classical roots in the thought of Thomas Aquinas and William Paley, but have found actualization in modern discourse through figures such as William Lane Craig and Richard Swinburne. While criticism from skeptical thinkers, such as David Hume and Richard Dawkins, has questioned their validity, both arguments nevertheless offer important contributions to the dialogue between faith, philosophy, and science. This study argues that, despite not providing absolute proof, the cosmological and teleological arguments provide a strong intellectual foundation for belief                                  in God's existence and demonstrates their relevance for reflection on Christian faith in the contemporary era.

Abstract

This study examines the theological meaning of bowing in the 2020 Order of the Eucharistic Celebration (TPE) through Javanese ethics, identifying cultural values, lived experiences, and convergences between liturgical and cultural meanings. It employs a qualitative interpretative phenomenological approach involving semistructured interviews with four purposively selected Javanese Catholics aged 40–65 in Surakarta. Data were examined using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and Anscar J. Chupungco’s creative assimilation framework. The findings show that unggah-ungguh (respectful conduct) and andhap asor (humility), internalized through family upbringing, shape participants’ bodily expressions of reverence toward Christ’s sacramental presence. Bowing is experienced as embodied faith, although adaptation varies and one participant emphasizes kneeling as facilitating intimacy with God. The designation of Christ as Sampeyan Dalem expresses culturally mediated reverence without identifying Christ ontologically with a Javanese king. The study concludes that liturgical inculturation operates through bodily habitus and intangible cultural values. These findings enrich theological understanding of embodied participation in the Eucharist and support contextual liturgical catechesis attentive to local cultural dispositions.

Abstract

This study analyzes the silent prayer formulas of the priest (and deacon) in the Ordo Missae of the Missale Romanum (2008). It aims to uncover the origins, historical evolution, and liturgical meaning and function of these texts. Through this investigation, the processes of formulation, preservation, and contextual adaptation of the texts throughout history are illuminated, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of their embedded liturgical message. As a literature-based study employing historical and hermeneutical approaches, this research reveals that these silent prayers share a uniform character, serving as a means of personal purification from sin to worthily celebrate the Eucharist. Originally, these prayers were not official ecclesiastical formulations but arose spontaneously as the priest's personal prayers to nurture his interior devotion. The evolution of their usage to the present day demonstrates that the development of a liturgical text is never detached from its historical dimension. Therefore, a comprehensive historical analysis is of paramount importance, given that the meaning of a liturgical text cannot be properly constructed without tracing its history. Within this framework, the hermeneutical approach serves to reinforce and deepen the discovery of that liturgical meaning.

Abstract

This study examines how modern scientific cosmology and Javanese religiosity understand cosmic order and harmony and explores the possibility of constructive dialogue between their distinct epistemological frameworks. It employs qualitative philosophical library research, combining Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics with descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, and dialogical synthesis. Selected texts are interpreted through distanciation, appropriation, and refiguration, then compared in terms of epistemology, ontology, and conceptions of cosmic order. The analysis shows that scientific cosmology explains cosmic structures and processes through empirical observation, mathematical modeling, and theoretical coherence, whereas Javanese religiosity interprets cosmic harmony through symbolic meaning, spiritual experience, and ethical relations among humans, nature, and the divine. Both recognize order and interconnectedness, while cosmic beauty provides a point of dialogue through scientific appreciation of structural coherence and Javanese understandings of ethical and spiritual balance. The study concludes that Javanese cosmology constitutes a distinct epistemological framework capable of enriching scientific accounts with existential and ethical interpretations. It proposes a contextual and dialogical cosmology that preserves epistemological differences while fostering complementary understandings of the universe without subordinating either tradition to the other.

Abstract

This essay revisits Hans-Georg Gadamer’s notion of prejudice (Vorurteil) as a legitimate condition of understanding, offering a complementary perspective to psychology’s prevailing treatment of prejudice as bias or distortion. Psychological approaches have illuminated the harmful effects of entrenched prejudice in perpetuating exclusion and injustice, yet they often emphasize its negative dimensions. Gadamer, by contrast, situates prejudice within the hermeneutical process as historically inherited orientations that shape interpretation. This article uses philosophical hermeneutics as an approach, drawing on Bildung (formation), tradition, and historically effected consciousness. The analysis highlights how prejudices function as initial frameworks that open the way for dialogue and meaning-making. Legitimate prejudice is marked by openness, receptivity, and the capacity for transformation through encounter, while illegitimate prejudice manifests as rigidity or ideological closure. The aim is to clarify and further articulate what constitutes legitimate prejudice that can be constitutive to the horizon of human understanding, one that calls for ongoing engagement with history, tradition, and difference. The article concludes that prejudices can be legitimate. Rather than advocating for the eradication of all prejudices, Gadamer’s framework encourages critical discernment and ethical humility, recognizing prejudice as both inevitable and potentially productive.

Abstract

Levinas’s ethics of responsibility is often placed and discussed in comparison with other ethical theories such as Immanuel Kant’s deontological ethics and John Stuart Mill’s utilitarianism. Unlike Kant who emphasizes the fulfillment of moral duty and Mill who employs the greatest happiness principle, Levinas is said to focus on responsibility toward the Other. On this view, the difference between Levinas’s ethics and traditional ethical theories concerns merely a particular ethical principle. This comparison overlooks Levinas’s phenomenological background, which analyzes primordial experience and the concrete meaning of human relations. The present article seeks to demonstrate that Levinas’s ethics must be understood within the context of a phenomenological analysis of the fundamental and natural movement of human beings in relation to the world and its objects.  It employs the phenomenological method that involves the textual analysis of his works, particularly Totality and Infinity, through the concepts of enjoyment, assimilation, and dwelling. The resistance of the face of the Other emphasized in Levinas’s ethics constitutes a response to this fundamental movement expressed in activities of mastery and domination. This study offers a new perspective on Levinas’s ethics by showing its phenomenological point of departure.
