Relevance of Nusantara Philosophy in Integrating Religious Doctrines for Social Harmony
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to explore the relevance of Nusantara philosophy in integrating religious doctrines as a basis for achieving social harmony in Indonesia. Nusantara philosophy, which is rich in local values and traditional wisdom, has the potential to become a bridge in uniting the diversity of existing religious doctrines. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this research examines literature, historical documents, and interviews with religious and philosophical figures to explore the relationship between local philosophy and religious principles in the Archipelago context. The results show that Nusantara philosophies, such as the concepts of harmony, deliberation, and local wisdom, are in harmony with religious doctrines that prioritize the values of justice, compassion, and tolerance. The research also reveals how these values can be applied in people's lives to create social cohesion and overcome the challenges of diversity in the modern era. The implication of this research is the strengthening of interdisciplinary studies between Nusantara philosophy and religious doctrine, which can contribute to formulating educational strategies, social policies, and a more inclusive approach to da'wah. This research confirms the importance of revitalizing local wisdom in facing the challenges of globalization and maintaining national identity.
