Abstract

Love in general is a term often used to describe kindness and affection. Ibn Sina observed that love in human life except for spiritual love toward God is always connected to temporary and worldly objects. According to Ibn Sina, true love is intellectual love which is not bound to physical aspects but focused on seeking the Divine essence and the perfection of the rational soul. This idea aligns with earlier philosophers like Plato who believed that true love should be directed toward an eternal and limitless object. In his works Ibn Sina distinguishes between two main types of love: sensual love and intellectual love. Sensual love is driven by desires and physical attraction making it temporary and ever-changing. In contrast intellectual love arises from understanding the beloved object not based on outward appearance but on essence and reality. In this context love is seen as an emanative process that flows from the First Source God toward lower entities including the human soul. Intellectual love according to Ibn Sina is an everlasting form of love that brings the soul closer to perfection and a deeper understanding of God. Love for God as the manifestation of the Divine essence serves as the main driving force in the spiritual and intellectual journey of humans toward perfection.

Abstract

This article discusses the theme of natural disasters from the perspectives of Mulla Sadra and Ibn Sina, as well as their cosmological paradigms. The author hypothesizes that Islamic philosophy possesses sufficient intellectual capital to explain nature and disasters, as this school of thought harmonizes well with other sciences—such as modern science, traditional knowledge, and technology. Therefore, it is worth presenting as an alternative solution in the modern era. Islamic philosophy offers a holistic and spiritualistic perspective in understanding nature—not merely as a destructive phenomenon, but as part of the natural and human journey to accept their role as khalifah (vicegerents of God) who are responsible for fostering friendship and respect toward nature. Nature is humanity’s best companion in servitude to God and society. Nature is the manifestation of God’s presence. This study employs descriptive-analytical and phenomenological methods.

Abstract

This paper is a philosophical review of Friedrich Nietzsche’s thoughts on the concept of nihilism and its implications for modern morality. In Nietzsche’s view, nihilism emerges as a consequence of the “death of God,” which results in the collapse of traditional moral values that have been the basis of human life. This poses a great challenge for individuals and society to find new meaning in life. In his concept, Nietzsche distinguishes between passive nihilism, which is destructive, and active nihilism, which is creative as an effort to transvalue values. The research method used is a conceptual method with text analysis, a philosophical theory approach, and a qualitative research method to further understand Nietzsche’s thoughts on nihilism. This research found that Nietzsche’s nihilism not only implies criticism of traditional morality, but also offers an alternative to new morality through the idea of Übermensch. However, this concept still draws criticism, especially in its application to the modern context.

Abstract

Oppressive power arises from the absence of political ethics. In a democratic system, power originates from the people’s support; therefore, when it turns oppressive, it contradicts the fundamental principles of democracy. Alongside oppression, identity politics emerges as a double-edged phenomenon—promoting social solidarity while potentially leading to social fragmentation. This study examines the relationship between power, ethics, and identity politics from the perspective of Ibn Khaldun’s thought to uncover a philosophical foundation for the development of political ethics within the Islamic context. The research is qualitative in nature, employing a descriptive-analytical method and adopting Émile Durkheim’s theory of social solidarity and Max Weber’s theory of traditional authority as its analytical approaches. Through a literature-based examination of primary and secondary sources, this study analyzes how Ibn Khaldun’s concept of ‘aṣabiyyah explains the interconnection between power, ethics, and social order. The findings show that power grounded in ethics generates constructive social relations. Political aims oriented toward the acquisition of power remain legitimate as long as they are guided by ethical principles. Furthermore, identity politics can foster positive social cohesion when rooted in rationality, morality, and social order, as reflected in Ibn Khaldun’s social philosophy.

Abstract

This research examines Nurcholish Madjid’s conception of reason through the epistemological lens of Ibn Sina’s Peripatetic philosophy. Using a literature-based character study and descriptive-heuristic analysis, the study explores the definition and limits of reason in Nurcholis’s thought. According to him, reason is the activity of thinking, bestowed by Allah upon humans as His caliphs on earth. However, human reason is confined to universal matters; therefore, divine revelation is necessary to guide humans beyond reason’s limits—especially in knowing God. Reason, thus, cannot fully comprehend the Divine. When viewed through Ibn Sina’s Peripatetic epistemology, two conclusions emerge. First, Nurcholis’s definition of reason is largely adequate, as it aligns with Ibn Sina’s view that intellect is a faculty unique to the human soul, distinct from that of plants and animals. Second, Nurcholis’s view is sufficient in its human dimension but limited in the divine one. For Ibn Sina, God is the First Intellect, whose self-contemplation gives rise to subsequent intellects. Hence, within the Peripatetic framework, Nurcholis’s notion of the limits of reason is considered incomplete regarding the divine aspect.

Abstract

Neo-modernism is a pattern of thought that attempts to combine modern thinking with traditional thinking. Through the idea of neo-modernism, Nurcholish Madjid offers a renewal of Islamic thought that emphasizes the relevance of religion in modern life without abandoning Islamic values. Of course, the thought of neo-modernism has received a lot of opposition from people who view that traditional Islamic teachings should not be or be updated because of modernity, apart from that there are external problems that come from the Western world which always considers Islam inferior, namely as an irrational religion, therefore neo-modernism Modernism is a discourse or study that needs to be studied to see in full the problems and dynamics mentioned previously. In this paper, the author uses qualitative research methods by collecting library data in the form of data from primary sources, namely the works of Nurcholish Madjid. along with secondary data in the form of sources written by other researchers. The result of this article is Nurcholish Madjid’s thoughts regarding neo-modernism. Experiencing several challenges in relation to life and religious thought, namely: 1. Opposition by some intellectuals and society as controversial, 2. Stagnant religious thought in life, 3. Not being able to differentiate between religion and non-religion in life, 4. Society tends to find it difficult to accept change and concepts that are less grounded. However, the challenge to this thinking actually becomes an opportunity to enrich Islamic courses in Indonesia regarding neo-modernism and the thoughts of Nurcholish Madjid.

Abstract

The Iran-Israel conflict is one of the most complex and potentially destabilizing geopolitical disputes in the Middle East, rooted in macro-injustice, humanitarianism, power struggles, religious ideologies, and deep historical mistrust. This scientific article seeks to analyze the dynamics of this conflict through the perspectives of Western and Islamic social theories. This research examines how Western theoretical frameworks, as well as Islamic concepts and paradigms and values, provide different understandings of the root causes of war conflicts. The analysis shows that while Western theories often emphasize power calculations, state security, the structure of the international system, and identity, Islamic social theories place a strong emphasis on religious identity, balanced power, theological perspectives on justice, and humanity.

Abstract

Islam Nusantara bukan sekadar label budaya, melainkan konstruksi epistemologis yang lahir dari pertemuan nilai-nilai Islam universal dengan realitas sosial dan sejarah Indonesia. Sebagai epistemologi sosial, ia mencerminkan cara umat Islam Indonesia memahami dan mengekspresikan ajaran Islam dalam konteks pluralisme dan keberagaman budaya. Islam dipahami bukan sebagai doktrin kaku, tetapi sebagai sistem pengetahuan dan praktik sosial yang adaptif, inklusif, serta menghargai kearifan lokal. Konsep ini berdiri di atas tiga pilar utama: narasi lokal, prinsip moderasi (wasathiyah), dan reinterpretasi warisan Islam klasik. Narasi lokal menunjukkan bagaimana Islam berakar dan berdialog dengan tradisi masyarakat Nusantara; prinsip moderasi menjadi dasar bagi sikap toleran dan anti-ekstremisme; sementara reinterpretasi warisan klasik memungkinkan pembaruan pemikiran Islam agar tetap relevan dengan zaman. Dengan pendekatan historis, filosofis, dan sosiologis, Islam Nusantara tampil sebagai paradigma keilmuan yang memadukan spiritualitas, etika, dan modernitas. Ia menawarkan model keberislaman yang damai, progresif, dan transformatif—membangun citra Islam yang mampu menjawab tantangan global tanpa kehilangan autentisitas dan kedalaman spiritualnya.

Abstract

Sebagai makhluk ciptaan Tuhan, manusia mempunyai dua dimensi dalam hidupnya yaitu jiwa dan raga. Kedua dimensi ini memiliki kebutuhan, yang ketika tidak terpenuhi akan berdampak buruk bagi keberlangsungan kehidupan manusia. Peradaban dunia terutama perkembangan teknologi, membuat manusia lebih cenderung memilih pemenuhan kebutuhan materi dan dengan perlahan menyingkirkan manusia dari kebutuhan akan immaterial yang otomatis menjauhkannya akan esensi kehidupan hakiki. Tulisan ini mempunyai tujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana tingkat spirtualitas dalam keberlangsungan hidup. Bagaimana manusia bisa memenuhi kebutuhan akan spiritual di era teknologi modern ini, serta bagaimana tantangan teknologi modern dapat diatasi dengan adanya spiritual. Dalam tulisan ini saya menyajikan metode berupa pendalaman terhadap kajian literatur terdahulu yang juga mengemukakan pendapat berkaitan penelitian baik melalui buku, jurnal ataupun hasil penelitian sebelumnya dan memakai pendekatan filsafat yang menggunakan rasio. Memahami arti penting spiritualisme berpengaruh besar dalam penyempurnaan diri manusia serta menghadapi kemajuan teknologi modern.
