Abstract

Nyuh Madan is a fundamental component in various Hindu rituals in Bali, serving not only as a ritualistic object but also as a profound symbolic medium. This article explores the ontological and cosmological dimensions of Nyuh Madan within the framework of Balinese Hindu philosophy. Employing a symbolic hermeneutic approach and reflective analysis of sacred texts and local ritual practices, this study reveals that the physical structure of Nyuh Madan represents key ontological concepts and the cosmological order. Its components—outer husk, coir, shell, water, and the eye of the coconut—symbolize the Panca Mahabhuta elements and the Tri Loka hierarchy, illustrating the interconnectedness between the macrocosm and the microcosm. The symbolism of Nyuh Madan affirms its role not merely as a ritual offering but as a spiritual conduit bridging the human and transcendent realms. Hence, a deeper appreciation of this symbol reinforces the unity of ritual, cosmological awareness, and dharmic values in Balinese Hindu life.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between tourism and social justice based on the Capability Approach developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. The research employed an interpretive qualitative method, using data collection techniques such as literature review, document comparison, and case study analysis. Primary data sources consisted of key literature exploring the philosophical concepts of both thinkers, as well as works related to the philosophy of tourism. Secondary data sources included tourism-related data obtained from online sources. The results of the study indicate the existence of access and capabilities in tourism, along with opportunities and challenges, both in enhancing and limiting the capabilities of individuals and communities, particularly in relation to the natural environment, socio-cultural aspects, the economy, and human resources. Criticisms regarding the limitations of surveys and measurements also emerged from the analysis of documents and case studies. These critiques aim to guide tourism studies, from planning stages through to evaluation and oversight, toward employing holistic, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary measurement methods. Thus, it is hoped that universal values of tourism, such as inclusivity and sustainability, can be implemented in the development of the tourism sector.

Abstract

Love is under threat because it is no longer something precious. In a culture steeped in capitalism, love becomes a commodity. Love turns into an instrument or tool for the achievement of something else. Love is considered something that cannot be found in real life and only remains in fiction and literature. Alain Badiou's schema of mathematics as ontology demonstrates that it is still possible to put love back as part of life and that love has value. Badiou reveals that initially, love is related to the self and is not a tool or instrument for anything outside the self. Love gives value to the human appreciation of life concerning its existence.
FROM ATTACHMENT TO GELASSENHEIT: A HEIDEGGERIAN PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ARJUNA'S CRISIS IN THE BHAGAVAD GITA Rifqi Khairul Anam

Abstract

Arjuna's crisis in the Bhagavad Gita is often interpreted as a moral or theological dilemma, yet this overlooks the profound psychological suffering depicted. This article re-examines this crisis not as a moral failure, but as a phenomenological portrait of absolute Attachment, a condition of painful enmeshment in the worldly web of relations. A Heideggerian phenomenological analysis is employed, using a close reading of the Gita's first chapter to diagnose the lived experience of Attachment and juxtaposing it with Martin Heidegger's concept of Gelassenheit (releasement). The analysis reveals Arjuna's paralysis as a direct symptom of his entrapment in calculative thinking (rechnendes Denken) born from Attachment. In contrast, Gelassenheit is presented as a meditative path of releasement (besinnliches Nachdenken) that allows one to act within the world without being ontologically consumed by it. The concept of Gelassenheit thus emerges as a powerful existential framework for understanding and responding to the specific suffering caused by Attachment, providing a bridge for a fruitful dialogue between an ancient Eastern narrative and modern Western phenomenology.

Abstract

Humans are the most perfect of all creatures, because only humans possess the ability to distinguish between the eternal and the transient. Furthermore, humans possess the awareness that they are not a material body, but the Atman, which is identical with Brahman. Advaita Vedanta theology and philosophy teach that Brahman pervades the universe. Therefore, Brahman and the Universe and all its contents are one. The Universe and all its contents are the material body of Brahman. Therefore, a practical understanding of Brahman can be observed through the Rtams, or Laws of Nature.Awareness of the Atman in humans is paramount in human life. Through awareness of the Atman, humans understand the existence of God behind all things. Awareness of the Atman makes humans wise, able to perceive God's presence in all things, as the Chandogya Upanisad states, "sarva khalv idam brahman," meaning "everything is God." Thus, Advaita Vedanta teaches that God, as the Subtle Substance, permeates all atomic particles of the Universe. Thus, all natural phenomena are a Cosmic Dance known as the Sivanataraja Dance or the Tandava Dance. Therefore, Rtam, or the Laws of Nature, can be used as a medium of contemplation to discover the traces of the Creator behind all natural phenomena.This research is qualitative, with data in the form of a summary of words obtained through literatures. Using Symbol Theory and Qualitative Interpretive Analysis, the authors conclude that the Laws of Nature are a manifestation of the dance of universal Truth (Satyam), which possesses the values of universal Virtue (Sivam) and universal Beauty (Sundaram). Humans who possess a perspective in accordance with the teachings of Advaita Vedanta will be able to see and experience the world and all its natural phenomena as an expression of Satyam, Sivam Sundaram, or a blissful Heaven.

Abstract

This research stems from the lack of interconnectedness in the study of Hindu divine philosophy, particularly the absence of an integrative analysis of the relationship between Brahman, Deva, Avatara, and Istadevata. Furthermore, comparative studies with Western theological thought are still limited. This research aims to philosophically analyze the relationship between these four concepts within the framework of Hindu divinity and compare them with the thinking in Summa Theologiae by Thomas Aquinas and Fides Quaerens Intellectum by Anselm of Canterbury. The method used is literary study with a philosophical analytical approach to classical texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas. The results of the study indicate that Brahman is the absolute reality, while Deva, Avatara, and Istadevata are functional manifestations in religious practice. Comparatively, it was found that despite ontological differences, there are similarities in the efforts to rationalize the concept of divinity. This research contributes to enriching the study of the philosophy of religion and dialogue across traditions.

Abstract

This study focuses on examining Jurgen Habermas's concept of critical hermeneutics and its contribution to the understanding of religious life in Indonesia. Religious life today tends to be under attack by various ideologies and interests that have the potential to damage social relations between believers. Based on this background, this study asks the following questions: (1) How does Jurgen Habermas's concept of critical hermeneutics reveal the ideological interests behind authority and tradition? And (2) How relevant are these concepts to building an inclusive religious ethic in Indonesia? This research uses a literature review method with a critical hermeneutic approach. Analysis is conducted through critical-reflective interpretation of texts, exploring ideological dimensions, power relations, and communication distortions in religious practices. This approach is also enriched with discourse analysis to uncover hidden interests that hinder religious understanding. The results show that Jurgen Habermas's critical hermeneutics offers a relevant framework for developing a dialogical, rational, and inclusive religious ethic. This approach encourages communication free from domination, manipulation, and repression, while fostering critical awareness in the face of plurality. Thus, critical hermeneutics contributes to building a more harmonious, just, and tolerant religious life amidst the diversity of Indonesian society.

Abstract

This article explores the meaning of freedom within the context of existentialist philosophy, particularly through the perspective of Jean-Paul Sartre, with a focus on how this concept of freedom can help individuals cope with suffering and find meaning in life. In the modern era, where humans enjoy extensive freedom in various aspects of life, freedom is often misunderstood and exercised without moral consideration, leading to conflict and social instability. This article demonstrates that true freedom in existentialism is not merely the right to choose, but also full responsibility for one’s choices and their consequences. Suffering, which is an integral part of human existence, is inevitable, and by accepting it, individuals can discover the meaning and purpose of life. Existentialism invites us to understand freedom as responsibility and awareness, and to face suffering with full responsibility and meaning. Thus, individuals can create a more meaningful identity and purpose in life, as well as contribute positively to society.
