Abstract

Wilhelm Dilthey, a towering figure in the realm of philosophy, dedicated his life's work to unravelling the complexities of human experience. Dilthey believed that life is not merely a series of random events, but a tapestry woven from these experiences, which collectively influence our perspectives and sense of being. By examining Dilthey's thoughts on communication as a process of shared knowledge and meaning making, we gain valuable insights into how we bridge the gap between different perspectives and forge deeper connections. Through a quantitative approach and literature review Dilthey's perspectives are analyzed. Dilthey believed a text goes beyond its literal meaning; it symbolizes deeper significance. Understanding the true depth of a symbol requires venturing beyond its surface meaning and delving into its historical context. Symbols are not merely arbitrary signs; they are often imbued with layers of meaning accumulated over time. These layers reflect the cultural, social, and political landscapes from which the symbol emerged. To fully grasp the symbolic meaning, then, requires an exploration of its historical journey.  Despite the occasional inclusion of natural science objects in humanities, Dilthey saw a clear distinction between the two. He saw understanding as a process of grasping the intended meaning rooted in life experiences. Therefore, Dilthey's concept of meaning is historical highlighting the significance of personal and collective life experiences in interpretation.

Abstract

This study explores the intricate relationship between religion and multiculturalism in Indonesia, a nation marked by its rich cultural diversity and complex religious dynamics. The research aims to examine how these factors contribute to societal harmony or conflict. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this study conducts a literature analysis, drawing from a wide range of scholarly sources on religion, multiculturalism, and interfaith harmony in the Indonesian context. The findings indicate that while multiculturalism and religious pluralism offer frameworks for coexistence, challenges persist due to historical tensions and socio-political factors. The analysis highlights the role of perception in conflict dynamics, emphasizing that differences in communication styles, ethical norms, and religious beliefs can escalate tensions. Conversely, effective interfaith dialogue and inclusive policies can promote harmony. The study concludes that fostering a deeper understanding of multiculturalism and an inclusive approach to religion is crucial for reducing conflicts and enhancing societal cohesion. Addressing underlying socio-economic and political factors is essential for sustainable peace and unity in Indonesia.

Abstract

Religious moderation is essential to prevent conflict in a diverse society. This study analyzes the program of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Bantul Regency using Peter L. Berger's social construction theory. Field research with a qualitative approach found that religious moderation is formed through three social dialectic processes: externalization, namely the adaptation of individuals to the social structure of religious moderation through religious texts and figures; objectivation, namely the development of awareness of moderation as a positive action through tradition and institutionalization; and internalization, namely the identification of individuals in the socio-cultural context that forms inclusive and exclusive groups. The program of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Bantul Regency plays an important role in building a social foundation that supports religious moderation in Bantul.

Abstract

This article aims to critically highlight the affirmation of identity politics narratives in Indonesia. For this purpose, the text of Ummat Party Chairman Ridho Rahmadi's political speech is used as the object of attention. Points of critical analysis of the New Social Movement (NSM) theory of identity politics are used to highlight Ridho Rahmadi's political speech. Collective identity, including identity politics, is necessary to mobilize social movements. In this case, the expression of identity is used as a political strategy, so that in the end the collective identity can become the goal of social movement activism. However, in the context of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, which is multicultural, multiethnic, multiracial, and multi-religious, does the presence of a political party that clearly excludes itself as a party with Islamic identity by making the mosque a node of political jihad, not threaten national unity? From the perspective of NSM theory, social movement mobilization can indeed be triggered by collective identity-based political movements such as those launched by the Ummat Party. However, the same theory also emphasizes the strategic dilemma of such social movement mobilization, namely that the identity that is the basis for organizing a movement is also the basis for oppression, persecution and exploitation.

Abstract

Churches that provide pastoral leadership must always be transformative and their decisions must be innovative to become the center of God's presence and government on earth so that God reverses the current conditions of worship of Israel and the Tabernacle of David for church pastors who are transformative and make innovative decisions when talking about the worship of church pastors in Israel to God forever to be obedient and faithful. The descriptive qualitative method used in this research is in the form of various literature accompanied by various journal articles related to this research topic. The research results show that the Tabernacle of David is a symbol (typos) of the Church and the Restoration of the Tabernacle of David is seen as a continuation of God's promise to Abraham, which was then passed on to David as the Successor to Transformative Pastoral Leadership in an innovative decision with a broader scope which "in the distant future ”, God showed “a series of people to come” (2 Sam.7:19). The final conclusion mentions the Tabernacle of David as the Davidic dynasty as Transformative Shepherd Leadership which takes innovative decisions symbolizing God's reign until eternity so that the complete Restoration of the Tabernacle of David includes: aspects of Israel's nationality, namely the unification of the Northern and Southern kingdoms, the descendants of David, and all nations.
