The Frankfurt School represents one of the most influential traditions of critical thought in the development of twentieth-century social theory and philosophy. This article aims to examine the impact of Frankfurt School thought particularly the ideas of key figures such as Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, and Jürgen Habermas and to analyze the relevance of their ideas within contemporary social contexts. Using a qualitative approach through an extensive literature review, this study examines key concepts such as critical theory, instrumental rationality, and the culture industry, as well as their implications for power relations, advanced capitalism, mass media, and modern democracy. The findings demonstrate that the Frankfurt School’s critique of instrumental rationality and cultural commodification remains highly relevant for understanding contemporary social problems, including digital media dominance, consumerism, and the crisis of the public sphere. This article argues that Frankfurt School thought continues to provide an essential analytical framework for critically engaging with the contradictions of modern and postmodern societies in the era of globalization and digital technology.

This research traces the role of classical Islamic intellectual traditions in shaping the direction and character of the contemporary Islamic education system at the Al Asror Islamic Boarding School, Gunung Pati, Semarang. This study highlights the preservation and adaptation of the main elements of turats such as the study of the yellow book, sanad-based teacher-student relations, oral learning patterns, and the development of manners and learning ethics which are maintained as the methodological foundation of Islamic boarding schools. In the context of educational modernization, this study observes how the tradition undergoes adjustment without losing its epistemological roots. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores classroom learning practices, curriculum structure, and views of pesantren stakeholders through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Field findings show that the Al Asror Islamic Boarding School is able to combine classical scientific heritage with modern educational needs, including the implementation of more systematic learning strategies, strengthening curriculum management, and the use of digital technology as a means of supporting learning. The synergy between traditional values and the demands of this era confirms that turats are not only relevant, but also remain a source of values, ethos, and a framework of thinking that enriches Islamic boarding school educational innovations. Furthermore, the results of the study emphasize that the ability of pesantren to harmonize classical intellectual heritage with social, technological, and pedagogical developments is a strategic factor for the resilience, continuity, and competitiveness of Islamic education in the modern era.

This article explores the relevance of Thomas Aquinas’ concept of bonum commune (the common good) in shaping a Christian leadership paradigm amid the global and national leadership crisis, particularly in Indonesia. The phenomena of corruption, abuse of power, and weak moral orientation indicate the absence of the common good as the guiding principle in contemporary political practices. Employing a qualitative library research method, this study analyzes Aquinas’ thought, the Scriptures, Catholic social teaching, and modern literature on theology and political philosophy. The findings reveal that bonum commune serves as a fundamental principle that integrates moral, spiritual, and social dimensions of leadership. Within the Christian perspective, the principles of service, justice, love, and participation find their philosophical and theological foundation, with Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd as their ultimate model. This article emphasizes that Christian leadership rooted in bonum commune is not about domination but about servant leadership oriented toward the common good, social justice, and human dignity. A reinterpretation of Aquinas’ thought in the modern context highlights the need to understand bonum commune through dialogue, participation, and respect for pluralism. Therefore, Christian leadership in the light of bonum commune remains relevant as an alternative paradigm for building a more just, transparent, participatory, and humane society

The transformation of public governance has encouraged a paradigm shift in public service delivery, from an administrative and procedure-oriented approach toward a citizen-centered and value-based model. In this context, public sector marketing has emerged as a strategic instrument to enhance service quality, institutional image, public participation, and trust. This study aims to examine the contemporary implementation of marketing strategies and planning in the public sector, with particular attention to their effectiveness and contextual relevance. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach through a systematic literature review of selected scholarly publications addressing public sector marketing, strategy implementation, digital governance, and public service management. The findings indicate that public institutions increasingly apply marketing principles not as commercial activities, but as mechanisms for creating public value through strategic communication, digital engagement, institutional branding, and stakeholder collaboration. However, the effectiveness of implementation varies across organizations and is strongly influenced by leadership capacity, human resources competence, organizational culture, and technological support. The study also reveals that public sector marketing strategies must be adapted to social, cultural, and institutional contexts, as private-sector models cannot be directly transferred. Theoretically, this study strengthens the positioning of marketing as an integral component of public governance. Practically, it provides insights for public organizations to develop contextual, responsive, and sustainable marketing strategies to improve public service performance and trust.

This study aims to analyze in depth the moral values ​​contained in Surah Luqman verses 14–15 based on M. Quraish Shihab's Tafsir Al-Mishbah and their relevance in shaping the character of adolescents in the modern era. The research method used is library research with the tafsir munasabah approach, namely examining the relationship between the meanings of verses contextually and thematically. The main data source comes from Tafsir Al-Mishbah, supported by relevant tafsir literature and character education studies.

Maqasid sharia is the foundation of Islamic law that needs to be reconstructed to remain relevant to the evolving times. Globalization, technological advancements, and social changes present new challenges, such as bioethics, digital economy, and social justice, which require a response from Islamic law. This article aims to analyze the reconstruction of maqasid sharia and its impact on the development of contemporary Islamic law. The research uses a qualitative approach through literature review and normative analysis. The findings show that the reconstruction of maqasid sharia should be carried out through a contextual reinterpretation of the objectives of sharia. This approach opens up broader space for ijtihad, ensuring that Islamic law remains relevant in addressing new issues. The reconstruction aims not only to align Islamic law with contemporary developments but also to strengthen its role in achieving justice and providing ethical solutions that meet the needs of modern society. Thus, Islamic law can continue to contribute to the advancement and well-being of humanity amidst global challenges.

Interreligious dialogue in contemporary plural societies faces serious challenges, particularly due to differences in the use and interpretation of religious language, which is often understood in a monolithic and decontextualized manner. Religious language is frequently reduced to doctrinal propositions debated through logical arguments, thereby neglecting the form of life from which it emerges. This study aims to analyze the transformation of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s thought from the picture theory presented in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the concept of language games developed in Philosophical Investigations, as well as its implications for understanding religious language and contemporary interreligious dialogue. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method through philosophical-conceptual analysis of Wittgenstein’s major works and relevant secondary literature. The findings indicate that the concept of language games allows religious language to be understood as a social practice with internal rules and contextual meanings, rather than as metaphysical propositions subject to empirical-logical verification. In the context of interreligious dialogue, this approach helps explain differences in the meanings of religious terms such as “salvation” or “God” without treating them as absolute logical contradictions. By viewing religious language as part of language games rooted in distinct forms of life, interreligious dialogue can be directed toward mutual understanding and respect for diversity rather than the pursuit of theological uniformity.

Hope is one of the theological virtues strongly emphasized by Pope Francis, especially in the context of a world marked by suffering, crisis, and uncertainty. This article aims to present the Christian theological understanding of hope according to Pope Francis and to explore its relevance for the Church as it prepares for the Jubilee Year 2025. This study employs a documentary and textual theological analysis of Pope Francis’ catecheses, Sacred Scripture, official Church teachings, and the Jubilee documents. The findings show that Christian hope is rooted in the experience of God who accompanies, liberates, and consoles His people, and is grounded in the Paschal Mystery and the resurrection of Christ. Pope Francis deepens this vision through the figures of Sacred Scripture and through existential dynamics such as learning to hope, resisting despair, and remaining vigilant. Hope is both personal and ecclesial, as the Church is called to be a missionary of hope for the world. These insights highlight the importance of ongoing formation in the faith and concrete works of mercy as expressions of hope, especially as the Church enters the Jubilee Year 2025 as Pilgrims of Hope.

This study aims to analyze the concept of female leadership in Islam and its relevance to modern economic contexts, including how normative Islamic principles such as trustworthiness (amanah), justice (al-‘adl), and consultation (shūrā) can be actualized in participatory, ethical, and sustainable economic leadership practices. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research. Primary data were obtained from the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical as well as contemporary Muslim scholars’ works, while secondary data were collected from scientific journals and academic books discussing leadership, gender, and modern economic practices. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically, combining content, comparative, and interpretative analysis to examine the relevance of female leadership in Islam to contemporary economic leadership. The study finds that Islam does not restrict leadership based on gender but emphasizes competence, moral integrity, trustworthiness, and social responsibility. Women are theologically legitimized to hold leadership positions, including in the economic sector. Historical records and contemporary literature demonstrate that women’s participation in economic leadership strengthens governance, enhances accountability, and promotes sustainable decision-making. These findings suggest that female leadership is compatible with modern economic principles and can serve as an effective strategy to create an inclusive and ethically grounded economic system.

The development of philosophy from the classical to the contemporary era shows fundamental changes in the way humans understand reality with the emergence of various schools of thought that address epistemological, ontological, and ethical issues in an increasingly complex social context. This study aims to examine the contributions of key concepts from rationalism, empiricism, idealism, materialism, positivism, pragmatism, phenomenology, existentialism, Marxism, Islamic existentialism, and neopositivism, as well as assess their relevance to modern dynamics such as identity crises, technological advances, and changes in socio-economic structures. Using a conceptual approach to literature review, various previous studies were analyzed to build an integrated understanding of the position of each school of thought in the development of science and social practice. The findings show that rationalism and empiricism continue to underpin scientific methods, idealism and materialism offer different perspectives on social construction, phenomenology and existentialism deepen the understanding of subjective experience, while Marxism and pragmatism provide an analytical framework for power relations and practical action. Neopositivism continues to influence quantitative methodology, while Islamic existentialism provides a contextual moral perspective. This study emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach because no single philosophical school of thought is capable of explaining reality in its entirety.

Aktivitas ekonomi mempunyai hubungan yang erat dengan transaksi antara entitas ekonomi, yang terkadang menyebabkan sengketa. Dalam konteks ekonomi syariah, sengketa muncul karena perselisihan antara pelaku ekonomi yang berbisnis berdasarkan hukum ekonomi syariah terkait hak atau kepentingan. Sengketa ini bisa diputus dengan instrumen hukum yang berbagai, baik litigasi di pengadilan agama maupun metode non-litigasi seperti negosiasi, mediasi, dan konsiliasi. Penyelesaian sengketa di pengadilan agama bertujuan agar terjaminlah keadilan dan keteguhan hukum sesuai prinsip syariah. Namun, dengan semakin meningkatnya tuntutan keadilan, penyelesaian sengketa melalui pengadilan relatif lama dan kurang efektif, maka alternatif penyelesaian di luar pengadilan semakin relevan. Negosiasi sebagai salah satu proses tawar-menawar dalam sengketa ekonomi syariah sangat memfokuskan pada persiapan dan komunikasi efektif kedua belah pihak. Salah satu penyebab sengketa ekonomi pada ekonomi syariah adalah wanprestasi dalam transaksi jual beli, terutama transaksi tanah. Oleh karena itu, regulasi ekonomi syariah yang mengatur prinsip keadilan dan keseimbangan hak dan kewajiban sangatlah perlu untuk menyelesaikan sengketa tersebut secara adil dan damai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali penerapan regulasi ekonomi syariah dalam penyelesaian sengketa wanprestasi, khususnya yang berhubungan dengan sengketa tanah, dengan mengidentifikasi metode penyelesaian sengketa yang sesuai dalam hukum Islam dan hukum positif Indonesia. Penelitian ini diharapkan memberikan wawasan mengenai relevansi dan penerapan hukum Islam dalam menyelesaikan sengketa ekonomi syariah, serta menyoroti pentingnya penyelesaian sengketa melalui metode yang mengedepankan keadilan dan perdamaian.

Penelitian ini membahas bagaimana mahasiswa memandang peran Pendidikan Pancasila dalam memperkuat pemahaman Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) dan prinsip keadilan sosial dalam sistem pendidikan Indonesia. Melalui pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif, studi ini menelusuri persepsi mahasiswa terhadap relevansi nilai-nilai Pancasila, khususnya sila kedua dan kelima, dalam membentuk karakter, kesadaran kritis, serta sikap inklusif dalam lingkungan akademik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa menilai Pendidikan Pancasila tidak hanya sebagai mata kuliah normatif, tetapi juga sebagai sarana pembentukan etika sosial, penghormatan terhadap martabat manusia, dan penguatan kepekaan terhadap ketidaksetaraan sosial. Namun demikian, mahasiswa juga melihat adanya tantangan berupa kurangnya metode pembelajaran yang kontekstual, sehingga nilai-nilai HAM dan keadilan sosial belum sepenuhnya diinternalisasi secara mendalam. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan model pembelajaran berbasis dialog, studi kasus, serta integrasi isu-isu sosial aktual agar Pendidikan Pancasila semakin relevan dan berdampak bagi generasi muda.

This study explores the relevance of Imam Al-Ghazali’s educational philosophy to contemporary Islamic education in responding to current moral, social, and educational challenges. Using a library research method, the study systematically examines Al-Ghazali’s views on educational goals, curriculum orientation, the role of teachers, and instructional methods, and then contextualizes these perspectives within the dynamics of modern educational systems. The analysis highlights how Al-Ghazali’s educational thought addresses issues related to moral decline, character formation, and the imbalance between intellectual achievement and ethical development in present-day education.

The meaning of gratitude according to the perspective of the Qur'an and its relationship to modern human life which is influenced by technological advances, materialistic lifestyles, and social pressures. In the view of the Qur'an, gratitude is not merely expressed through words, but involves the awareness of the heart, verbal words, and real actions as a form of recognition of the blessings given by Allah SWT. Gratitude also functions as a reflection of faith that combines spiritual, moral, and social elements. In the context of modern life, the meaning of gratitude has shifted due to consumptive lifestyles and the culture of seeking recognition on social media, which has an impact on decreasing feelings of satisfaction and inner peace. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method through a review of the verses of the Qur'an, tafsir books, and various relevant academic literature. The results of the study show that the teachings of gratitude in the Qur'an play an important role in maintaining spiritual, emotional, and spiritual balance in the midst of modern life. The application of an attitude of gratitude has been proven to improve mental health, strengthen social relationships, and reduce materialistic tendencies. Furthermore, the value of gratitude can serve as a moral guideline for Generation Alpha, enabling them to balance technological advancement with spiritual life. Overall, the teachings of gratitude in the Quran remain universally relevant, not only as a religious obligation but also as a spiritual and social necessity that can bring happiness, serenity, and meaning to life amidst the dynamics of the digital age.

Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa fitrah anak menjadi landasan utama perkembangan dan pembelajaran yang mencakup dimensi spiritual, moral, intelektual, emosional, dan sosial. Psikologi pendidikan Islam memandang perkembangan anak sebagai proses bertahap dan holistik melalui integrasi aspek jasmani, akal, dan rohani dengan prinsip tarbiyah yang gradual dan kontekstual. Pembelajaran menempatkan anak sebagai subjek aktif, berorientasi pada pembentukan karakter dan kesadaran spiritual selain capaian kognitif. Dengan demikian, psikologi pendidikan Islam menawarkan paradigma pendidikan holistik yang relevan dalam mengembangkan potensi anak menuju insan kamil.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the concept of responsive law developed by Robert Nonet and Philip Selznick and the benefits of sustainable development in the context of Indonesian law. Using normative legal research methods, this study focuses on the study of legal doctrines, scientific literature, and regulations related to sustainable development. The results of the study show that responsive law has the potential to become a more adaptive and participatory regulatory framework. This legal model is relevant to strengthening sustainable development policies because it supports the integration of social values, environmental protection, and intergenerational justice. However, structural challenges such as bureaucracy, regulatory inconsistency, and weak law enforcement remain obstacles to the implementation of responsive law in Indonesia. This study confirms that the application of responsive law can increase the effectiveness of sustainable development policies when developed in conjunction with the strengthening of national legal institutions.
