The epistemology of modern science develops with the assumption that neutrality and objectivity distinguish facts from values. This belief leads to the reduction of values, especially those related to ethical, metaphysical, and spiritual values, during the development of science. The purpose of this paper is to examine the problem of value reduction in the epistemology of modern science and to examine the Islamization of science as an epistemic alternative. This research method is qualitative, literature-based, and critical-philosophical. Epistemological critiques of value-free science, based on positivism and modern empiricism, and a study of the theory of the Islamization of science by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas and Ismail Raji al-Faruqi are used to complete the analysis. The results of this study indicate that the epistemological separation between facts and values ​​in contemporary science leads to a decline in values. The Islamization of science offers an alternative epistemic framework that positions science as a meaningful, valuable, and goal-oriented activity. Thus, without rejecting the methodological progress of contemporary science, it remains a plausible option. Despite lingering problems with the methodological formulation, this article asserts that the Islamization of science is relevant as a theoretical response to the crisis of values ​​in the epistemology of modern science.

The development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 to the Society 5.0 era presents new challenges for education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). PAI is required not only to transfer religious knowledge but also to shape character, morality, and 21st-century competencies. This study aims to examine the philosophical foundations, characteristics, and application of PAI learning models to ensure their relevance in modern education. The research employed a qualitative approach with a library research design, involving the exploration of primary and secondary literature, critical reading, systematic note-taking, and content analysis validated through triangulation of classical and contemporary sources. The findings indicate that PAI learning models are conceptual, theoretical, systematic, and rooted in religious, philosophical, psychological, and sociological foundations. Four main models behavioristic, information processing, social, and humanistic each have strengths and limitations, yet their integration is relevant to forming insan kamil, a holistic human being balanced in cognitive, affective, psychomotor, spiritual, and social aspects. Therefore, developing PAI learning models based on Islamic philosophy and adaptive to technological advancements is a strategic necessity to face global challenges.

Penelitian ini menganalisis efektivitas implementasi Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas dalam pembentukan karakter siswa, khususnya toleransi, tanggung jawab sosial, dan kemandirian, di Madrasah Aliyah (MA) Kalifa Nusantara, sebuah institusi Islam yang beroperasi di tengah mayoritas Hindu Bali. Masalah utamanya adalah kebutuhan lembaga minoritas menyeimbangkan penanaman nilai-nilai keagamaan dengan adaptasi kultural untuk menciptakan individu yang kokoh identitasnya namun partisipatif. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus tunggal (single case study) di MA Kalifa Nusantara, dengan pengumpulan data melalui triangulasi sumber. Hasil utama menunjukkan Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas berhasil mengintegrasikan filosofi Islam dengan kearifan lokal Bali (Tri Hita Karana dan menyama braya) melalui kurikulum formal, kokurikuler, dan budaya sekolah. Implementasi ini sukses mentransformasi toleransi pasif menjadi toleransi aktif dan partisipatif. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan peningkatan pemahaman kognitif siswa terhadap budaya mayoritas dan partisipasi aktif dalam kegiatan komunitas non-agama (Pengabdian Kontekstual). Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas juga efektif menumbuhkan tanggung jawab sosial dan kemandirian yang selaras dengan prinsip Tri Kon Ki Hajar Dewantara. Simpulannya, model "integrasi kontekstual minoritas-sentris" ini merupakan strategi kurikulum yang sangat efektif. Model ini memperkuat karakter adaptif siswa tanpa melemahkan identitas religius mereka dan menghasilkan agen toleransi aktif. Implikasi penelitian ini menyarankan Kurikulum Berbasis Konteks Minoritas MA Kalifa Nusantara dapat dijadikan model percontohan (blueprint) bagi lembaga minoritas lain di Indonesia untuk mendorong partisipasi aktif dalam komunitas lokal.

Ontology is the philosophical foundation that determines the way reality is understood in the development of science. Differences in ontological assumptions will have implications for the way science is constructed, developed, and interpreted. This article aims to philosophically analyze the ontology of science in Western and Islamic perspectives by highlighting its fundamental similarities and differences. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with descriptive-analytical and comparative methods. The results show that the ontology of Western science tends to emphasize empirical and rational reality as the main object of science, while the ontology of Islamic science is based on the principle of monotheism which looks at reality holistically, including physical and metaphysical dimensions. Although paradigmatically different, the two perspectives have a common point in the recognition of the order of nature and the role of reason in understanding reality. This article affirms the importance of ontological dialogue between the West and Islam in formulating a scientific paradigm that is not only technically advanced, but also philosophically and ethically meaningful.

Land ownership in Indonesia has both philosophical and juridical dimensions closely linked to citizenship status. According to the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) of 1960, only Indonesian citizens are entitled to hold full ownership rights over land. This study aims to analyze the philosophical and juridical foundations of citizenship as a prerequisite for land ownership and its implications for social justice and national sovereignty. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches. Data are obtained through literature review of legislation, court decisions, and scholarly works, including Ahmad Muhammad Mustain Nasoha’s views on citizenship in the agrarian law context. The results indicate that restrictions on foreign land ownership are not merely administrative policies but a philosophical manifestation of the idea that land is essential to state sovereignty and public welfare. Juridically, this regulation reinforces the principles of nationality and distributive justice within Indonesia’s agrarian legal system. The study concludes that citizenship as a requirement for land ownership functions as a legal safeguard of the nation’s right to the land and a means to achieve social justice.

Penelitian ini mengkaji rasionalitas pewahyuan Al-Qur’an melalui pendekatan skripturalis-filosofis guna menegaskan relevansi epistemologis wahyu dalam konteks keilmuan modern. Kajian ini berangkat dari pandangan bahwa wahyu bukan sekadar fenomena teologis, tetapi juga sumber pengetahuan yang dapat diuji secara rasional. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan kombinasi metode hermeneutik filosofis, analisis wacana, filologi Semitik, dan pendekatan komputasional berbasis pemrosesan bahasa alami. Pendekatan ini memungkinkan interpretasi mendalam terhadap struktur argumentatif teks dan konteks historisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pewahyuan Al-Qur’an memiliki koherensi internal yang kuat, dibuktikan melalui stabilitas filologis manuskrip, kontinuitas transmisi, serta konsistensi retorika dan struktur teologisnya. Wahyu terbukti berfungsi sebagai fondasi epistemik yang menuntun akal dan ilmu pengetahuan menuju kesatuan kebenaran. Penelitian ini juga mengungkap relevansi universal Al-Qur’an dalam etika, pluralisme, dan integrasi sains melalui paradigma tawhidic yang menolak dikotomi antara agama dan ilmu. Hasil analisis memperlihatkan bahwa rasionalitas wahyu memiliki nilai universal dan aplikatif dalam membangun sistem pengetahuan yang komprehensif, interdisipliner, dan berorientasi nilai. Studi ini memperkaya filsafat Islam kontemporer dengan menawarkan model epistemologi integratif yang dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan wacana etika global, pendidikan spiritual, serta kebijakan ilmu berbasis nilai-nilai wahyu.

This research explores the uniqueness and philosophy of the Bukit Rhema Chicken Church in Magelang, Central Java, which has an iconic pigeon-shaped architecture. Based on a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, this study identifies the main functions of the Rhema Hill Church, its architectural design background, and its impact on the economic, cultural, and spiritual life of the surrounding community. The church was designed as a universal house of prayer that symbolizes peace and hope. Apart from being a place of worship, the Chicken Church also functions as a tourist destination, rehabilitation center, and symbol of tolerance between religious communities. Its impact includes improving the local economy through tourism, interfaith cultural integration, and strengthening the spiritual life of local communities. The results of this study reveal how the symbolism and design of the Bukit Rhema Church are able to create harmony between religious, educational, and tourism functions. These findings show that the existence of the Chicken Church is not only aesthetically valuable, but also plays an important role in strengthening local identity as well as encouraging sustainable social collaboration. In addition, the existence of educational facilities and a reflection room in the building also provides a more immersive spiritual experience for visitors, so that the Bukit Rhema Church becomes an inclusive space for various groups.

This study examines a critical perspective on the concept of rationality, which has long been regarded as the primary foundation of logical and objective decision-making. Using a qualitative approach through a literature study method, this research explores the integration of psychological, philosophical, and socio-cultural dimensions in understanding the limitations and complexities of human rationality. The findings reveal that rationality is not entirely neutral or free from bias. The psychological perspective highlights the influence of cognitive biases such as confirmation bias and anchoring effect, which often turn rationality into a justification for emotionally driven decisions. From a philosophical standpoint, David Hume’s argument that “reason is the slave of the passions” emphasizes the subordination of reason to emotion, while Horkheimer and Adorno reveal how modern rationality has evolved into an instrument of domination through ideologies of efficiency and control. In the socio-cultural dimension, rationality is shown to be non-universal, shaped by specific cultural and historical contexts, as exemplified by Max Weber’s concept of the “iron cage,” describing how individuals become trapped within bureaucratic systems of rationalization. The study concludes that classical rationality, characterized by its deterministic and calculative nature, is inherently bounded and insufficient to address the uncertainty and complexity of the modern world. Therefore, a new paradigm of rationality is needed—one that is integrative, reflective, and humanistic, combining logic with emotional, ethical, and social dimensions to produce decisions that are not only rational but also just and humane.

The formation of regional regulations (Perda) is a constitutional derivative of the implementation of regional autonomy within the framework of the Indonesian legal system. Substantively, Perda function as regulatory instruments aimed at accommodating the specific interests of local communities, in line with fundamental values, contextual needs, and the hierarchy of applicable laws and regulations. However, the high frequency of annulment or cancellation of Perda indicates dissonance or non-compliance with the principles of sound legislative formation. This phenomenon raises the urgency to review the extent to which philosophical, sociological, and legal foundations have been internalized and comprehensively implemented in the regional legislative process. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing the relevance of these three fundamental foundations to the quality and legitimacy of regional legal products. This study adopts a normative-juridical legal research method, involving descriptive analysis of the corpus of laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and the empirical practice of Perda formation. The results highlight that: the philosophical foundation provides a normative orientation in the form of ethical-teleological values ​​and goals; the sociological foundation reflects the actual needs and social realities of the communities subject to regulation; Meanwhile, the legal basis guarantees formal legality and vertical and horizontal consistency with the national legal system. Key findings indicate that these three foundations are inherently relevant and complementary in determining the quality of regional regulations. Synergy and harmonious integration between them are essential prerequisites for producing regional legal products that have legal validity, are capable of upholding substantive justice, and are responsive to the dynamics of public needs.

This study aims to describe the form, meaning, and socio-cultural function of the register of language use in the short story Filosofi Kopi by Dee Lestari. The method used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis techniques, Halliday's register theory, and Lotman's cultural semiotics. The results of the study show that the form of register in this short story includes words (espresso, latte, cappuccino, macchiato), nominal phrases (filosofi kopi, signature coffee, kopi tiwus), idiomatic phrases (kopi paling flirtit), and metaphors (espresso as a life without nonsense, latte as a warm hug). The meaning of the register is divided into primary meaning (literal) and secondary meaning (cultural and symbolic) which construct the values ​​of masculinity, gentleness, beauty, spirituality, and idealism of the characters. The socio-cultural functions of the register include community identity, expressive, evaluative, symbolic, narrative aesthetic, and ideological functions. This research supports Halliday's theory on the relationship between register and situational context, as well as Lotman's theory, which views literary language as a secondary modeling system that represents social and cultural realities. The results are expected to enrich the study of literary sociolinguistics and serve as authentic and contextual teaching materials for Indonesian language and literature in secondary schools.

Abstract. The environment is not merely a legal object, but rather a living space for humans that is intertwined with the continuity of life itself. In this context, the criminalization of environmental crimes must be understood as an effort to uphold substantive justice, not merely the fulfillment of legal procedures. This article examines the comparison between the 2023 Criminal Code and Law No. 32 of 2009 (Environmental Protection and Management Law), as well as the alignment of both in responding to ecological crimes. With a normative juridical approach and philosophical analysis, a tension was found between the formalistic approach in the Criminal Code and the ecological approach in the Environmental Protection and Management Law. This inconsistency has the potential to obscure the substance of environmental justice. Therefore, a renewal of the penal paradigm that favors the intrinsic value of nature and the principle of sustainability is necessary. Abstrak. Lingkungan hidup bukan sekadar objek hukum, melainkan ruang hidup manusia yang menyatu dengan keberlangsungan kehidupan itu sendiri. Dalam konteks ini, kriminalisasi tindak pidana lingkungan harus dimaknai sebagai upaya menegakkan keadilan substantif, bukan semata pemenuhan prosedur hukum. Artikel ini mengkaji perbandingan antara KUHP 2023 dan UU No. 32 Tahun 2009 (UU PPLH), serta menelaah keselarasan keduanya dalam merespons kejahatan ekologis. Dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif dan analisis filosofis, ditemukan adanya ketegangan antara pendekatan formalistik dalam KUHP dan pendekatan ekologis dalam UU PPLH. Ketidaksinambungan ini berpotensi mengaburkan substansi keadilan lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pembaruan paradigma pemidanaan yang berpihak pada nilai intrinsik alam dan prinsip keberlanjutan.

Humans are not merely thinking beings but also emotional and spiritual creatures. However, modern education tends to prioritize the cognitive dimension and academic achievement, while psychological and spiritual aspects are often neglected. This imbalance has resulted in the emergence of intellectually capable generations who may lack emotional maturity and moral integrity. Therefore, an educational approach that incorporates philosophical, psychological, and Islamic values is essential in shaping a holistic human being. This study aims to analyze the nature of humans from a psychological perspective and its implications for designing holistic, learner-centered education. This research employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data collection was carried out through documentary studies by reading and reviewing written sources such as scientific books, journal articles, and other academic literature relevant to the research topic. The data were analyzed using content analysis, which includes identifying themes, categorizing key ideas, and drawing conceptual meanings from the collected data. The results show that from a psychological perspective, humans possess innate potentials that develop through specific stages, are influenced by environmental factors, and have a fundamental need for self-actualization. Humanistic, cognitive, and behaviorist psychological approaches all contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of human nature. The findings reinforce the notion that education focused solely on cognitive development is insufficient for shaping a well-rounded personality. Therefore, the education system must be oriented toward balanced development of the cognitive, affective, socialand spiritual dimensions of learners.
