Abstract

Understanding and engaging with culture is essential for developing local theology. Every culture contains unique traditions and practices that embody noble values, some of which align closely with Christian teachings. Many cultural rituals hold deep significance for human life and reflect the community’s worldview, ethics, and spirituality. This article explores the noble values embedded in the local culture of the Yei people from South Papua, Indonesia, particularly in relation to their significant efforts to preserve the integrity of God’s creation. One crucial tradition, kôwelidē, is performed during death rites and incorporates practices aimed at environmental preservation. This study employs qualitative research methods, drawing on a postcolonial theology approach, to uncover the ecological wisdom of the Yei people. The research findings highlight a deep-rooted concept of environmental stewardship, which is then developed into a framework of inculturation of ecotheology. This approach integrates the lived experiences of the Yei people with theological reflections on nature conservation, emphasising a harmonious relationship between faith, culture, and environmental responsibility.

Abstract

The Diocese of Maumere, like other Catholic dioceses in Indonesia, serves as a center for both spiritual and social activities for Catholics in the Sikka Regency. In practice, however, the life of the faithful in this diocese is not without tension between local culture and religious teachings. For instance, dualistic practices still exist in how religion and culture are understood. When praying for the salvation of ancestral souls, for example, the prayer is often followed by the ritual of “Tung Piong,” whether performed after Mass in church or at home. This research aims to analyze the level of understanding, appreciation, and satisfaction of the faithful regarding the dialogue between the Church and culture in the Diocese of Maumere. By gaining insights into these areas, the Church can develop programs and policies that are better aligned with the needs and expectations of the faithful, enhancing its effectiveness in fulfilling its spiritual and social responsibilities. Additionally, this research helps the Church evaluate the effectiveness of its current approach to engaging with local culture. It encourages the Church to adopt more inclusive and participatory strategies, ensuring that all congregation members feel valued and actively involved in the dialogue process. The method used in this study is a quantitative survey analysis, with respondents representing a range of age groups, genders, educational levels, and occupational backgrounds. This study reveals a strong relationship between the three research variables: understanding, appreciation, and satisfaction in the dialogue between religion and culture. Greater understanding leads to increased appreciation, which in turn results in higher satisfaction. Therefore, it is recommended that ongoing research and continuous efforts to raise awareness about religious teachings and the noble cultural values that should be preserved and practiced remain essential for fostering a deeper faith.

Abstract

This study explores the metaphysical significance of faot kanaf — the sacred clan stone of the Atoni Pah Meto of West Timor — through the lens of Thomistic analogia entis (analogy of being). While anthropological accounts have highlighted the social and ecological functions of faot kanaf, its implicit ontology remains underexamined. Rooted in a participatory cosmology, faot kanaf mediates relationships among humans, ancestors, and divine powers, embodying permanence and vitality as symbolic perfections. Interpreting this symbolism through Thomistic categories of participation and analogy reveals structural convergences: both systems affirm that finite realities signify transcendent meaning without collapsing into identity. This analogical framework provides a hermeneutical bridge for intercultural theology, advancing a model of inculturation that respects cultural integrity while deepening metaphysical understanding. By retrieving the sacramental logic inherent in Atoni ritual life, the study argues for an expanded theology of culture grounded in the universality of analogical being. The findings suggest that faot kanaf functions as a signum analogicum, illustrating how indigenous symbols can illuminate and be illuminated by the principles of classical metaphysics.

Abstract

Diversity of religion, culture, and ethnicity is an undeniable reality that can potentially contribute to conflicts and divisions. In this context, religious moderation must be continuously upheld and enhanced through interfaith dialogue. However, in many regions, grassroots communities inherently live out and exercise religious moderation without formal interreligious dialogue programs. The underlying strength of naturally lived religious moderation is understood as cosmic religiosity. The cosmic religion, characterized by harmony, is the earliest layer of Indonesian culture. This research aims to analyze the cosmic character of the Marapu belief as an indigenous religion and its contribution towards strengthening religious moderation. Data were collected through interviews and participant observation using a qualitative research approach. The results show that (1) the cosmic character of the Marapu belief is uncovered through views of harmonious interconnection among the supernatural world, humans, and nature; (2) this interconnection leads to a philosophy of harmony, and Marapu adherents strive to live in harmonious relationships; and (3) the philosophy of harmony shapes a way of life and does not allow extreme or exclusive attitudes. Marapu adherents naturally live peacefully, regardless of religious, ethnic, or cultural differences.

Abstract

The local wisdom of Indonesia has long been considered philosophy proper by a number of Indonesian thinkers; they proclaimed that “Indonesian philosophy”, or “filsafat Nusantara”, does exist. Based on a number of studies of Indonesian thoughts—some of them called themselves “philosophy”—that underwent the hardness test in the forms of comparative philosophy and ethnophilosophy/ethno philosophy/ethno-philosophy, what is referred to as Indonesian philosophy does not yet meet the requirements to be classified as such. The hardness test involved tracing a number of representative literatures and comparing the outcomes with the two tests. This article shows that ideas thought to be called philosophy actually fall under ethnophilosophy or ethno philosophy category. The study also illuminates a deficit in Indonesian’s philosophical thinking, which is the absence of either reception or refutation of preexisting ideas; there is no response to reveal the presence of dialectics—one of philosophy’s traits. Facing that situation, and thanks to the two hardness tests, this article offers the propaedeutics required for Indonesian thought to be in line with the great philosophies of the world.

Abstract

This paper discusses Kant's thoughts on sex and marriage with the aim of examining their relevance to us today. To that end, the author conducts a sympathetic reading of Kant's writings on sex and discusses Kant's critical and rational assessment of various types of sexual relationships. The results of the study show that the essence of sex in Kant's view is objectification, namely the use of the body as a means to achieve sexual satisfaction. Therefore, intrinsically, every type of sexual relationship is contrary to morality. There is only one form of sexual relationship that does not conflict with the moral law, namely sex conducted within the context of monogamous, lifelong marriage between two people of different sexes. Kant's reflections on sex and marriage are very helpful in enabling us to critically address and construct debates surrounding sex today.

Abstract

The theology and death rituals of the Catholic Church are challenged by the concept of the Mata Golo ritual in the Ngada culture of Central Flores. Although the majority of the Ngada people are Catholic, their understanding and practices surrounding death especially in cases of unnatural death (Mata Golo), such as suicide, accidents, or murder are significantly different from the theology and rituals of the Catholic Church. In such cases, the bodies of the deceased are not treated according to the Catholic rites, but instead are fully honoured through the traditional Mata Golo rituals. This research, conducted between December 2023 and January 2024, aims to assess the influence of Catholic theology and death rituals when confronted with the Mata Golo concept and practices. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing literature reviews, observation, and interviews. To interpret these dynamics within the framework of contextual theology, the researcher began with a receptive process by listening to and engaging with the local culture, followed by theological dialogue and synthesis. The theological model applied in this study is based on the concept of counter-culture. The findings indicate that, in the face of Mata Golo events and rituals, the Catholic teachings and rites concerning death have a limited influence. The Church's position, particularly regarding Catholic theology and death rituals, appears significantly weakened in comparison to the strong influence of the Mata Golo tradition. Therefore, a model of encounter is needed as a form of critical engagement with the Mata Golo ritual practice. This study is expected to contribute to the body of knowledge in the fields of contextual theology, sociology of religion, and anthropology of religion.

Abstract

Human embodiment is widely acknowledged at least cognitively but often felt existentially in the experience of illness. When falling ill, the human being experiences the body not so much as a corporeal tool for world accomplishments as part of the self that is lived. Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology offers analysis of the experience of a lived body and has contributed to its further applications in various realms including health. The emphasis, however, has been placed on the distinction between objective body and a lived body at the expense of the meaning of the particular negative experience of the body during illness. Engaging the thoughts of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, I argue that the experience of illness gives rise to the realization of the nature of the body not merely as a lived one, but more fundamentally as a vulnerable one. In addition to a possible worse condition, such vulnerability is experienced particularly in relation to the very foundations of the human being’s existence. Informed by Sartre’s phenomenology, I show that the experience of illness also brings to the fore part of human nature as a recalcitrant conscious ego. The interplay between a vulnerable body and an obstinate ego that refuses to give in to such fragility shows the true nature of human beings beyond their sheer duality.
