Filsafat dan etika bisnis memiliki peran penting dalam mengarahkan korporasi untuk bertindak dengan mempertimbangkan dampak sosial dan lingkungan dari keputusan bisnis yang diambil. Dalam konteks global yang terus berkembang, perusahaan-perusahaan dihadapkan pada tantangan besar untuk tidak hanya mengejar keuntungan finansial, tetapi juga untuk memenuhi tanggung jawab sosial mereka. Namun, ketidaksesuaian antara tanggung jawab sosial dan praktik korporasi yang terjadi dalam banyak kasus, mengindikasikan adanya celah dalam pemahaman dan penerapan etika bisnis yang efektif (Carroll, 2020). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji sejauh mana filosofi etika bisnis dapat berperan dalam menyelaraskan tanggung jawab sosial dengan praktik korporasi, serta mengeksplorasi model-model yang dapat diadopsi oleh perusahaan untuk menjembatani ketimpangan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis literatur dan studi kasus sebagai metodologi. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan teori etika bisnis yang lebih aplikatif dalam dunia korporasi, dengan menekankan pentingnya integrasi nilai-nilai sosial dalam strategi bisnis jangka panjang.

The objective of this research is to examine how Minangkabau migrants in Bandung negotiate their cultural identity and how the philosophy "di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung" is implemented in their social adaptation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with migrant students from West Sumatra at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, utilizing a qualitative approach and phenomenological method. The study indicates that Minangkabau migrants actively and dynamically negotiate their identity through integration patterns rather than assimilation. Situational strategies are employed; informants gain social acceptance by adopting local linguistic identities and behaviors (Sundanese) in public spaces, while maintaining core values in private spaces. The religious principles of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah, and the communication ethics of Kato Nan Ampek serve as adaptation guidelines that allow for external flexibility, such as in language and daily habits, while preserving fundamental, non-negotiable values. The success of this negotiation is significantly supported by the educational environment and the early internalization of traditional values. This process results in a hybrid identity, enabling migrants to preserve their authentic Minangkabau identity while becoming an integral part of the Bandung community.

Multicultural competence refers to an individual's capacity to navigate and value the diversity within their environment. This skill is essential for all strata of Indonesian society, given Indonesia's diversity in ethnicities, cultures, languages, and faiths. Teachers occupy a pivotal role in fostering multicultural competency within society, as they engage directly with pupils on a regular basis. Teacher intercultural competency has three primary dimensions: knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Multicultural knowledge can be acquired through multiple avenues, including formal education, specialised training, or firsthand experience with varied populations. Multicultural education seeks to equip students with an awareness of the complexities of variety in society, enabling them to coexist amicably. The fundamental principles of multicultural education encompass equality, democracy, pluralism, and tolerance. Educators, as pivotal participants in the educational process, are anticipated to comprehend multicultural values conceptually and to incorporate them into everyday instructional activities. Consequently, the multicultural competency of educators may cultivate students who are not only academically proficient but also possess an inclusive mindset, value diversity, and are prepared to engage in a pluralistic society.

Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan Model Tridarma Berbasis Panggilan Abraham sebagai paradigma transformasional bagi Perguruan Tinggi Teologi (PTT) di Indonesia. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari krisis identitas PTT yang sering terjebak dalam dikotomi antara tuntutan akademik dan panggilan gerejawi, sehingga Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi—pendidikan, penelitian, dan pengabdian masyarakat—kerap kehilangan orientasi teologis dan relevansi sosialnya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan kerangka “Hermeneutika Filosofis-Kontekstual” yang mengintegrasikan studi filosofis dan critical case study pada STT Suwarnadwipa sebagai living prototype. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui analisis teks Kejadian 12:1–3, dokumen institusional, serta literatur teologis dan filsafat pendidikan. Analisis dilakukan melalui “Siklus Interpretasi Tiga Lapis” yang mencakup lapis eksplanatori, komparatif, dan konstruktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa panggilan Abraham mengandung tiga DNA utama, yaitu divine initiative, costly obedience, dan instrumental blessing, yang dapat menjadi fondasi filosofis-teologis bagi transformasi Tridarma PTT. Berdasarkan sintesis tersebut, penelitian ini menghasilkan tiga pilar utama model, yakni pendidikan sebagai Abrahamic Discipleship, penelitian sebagai Pro Deo et Ethne Inquiry, dan pengabdian masyarakat sebagai Shalom-Based Engagement. Implementasi model pada STT Suwarnadwipa menunjukkan bahwa paradigma Abrahamik mampu mengintegrasikan kesetiaan teologis dengan relevansi kontekstual secara operasional. Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara teoretis melalui pengembangan kerangka “Teologi Dwipa Nusantara,” secara metodologis melalui pendekatan “Hermeneutika Filosofis-Kontekstual,” dan secara praktis melalui penyediaan model operasional yang dapat diadaptasi oleh PTT lain di Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the gastronomy of the traditional culinary dish Ayam Napinadar as part of Batak cultural identity, covering aspects of history, ingredients, processing techniques, cultural values, and preservation challenges. The background of this research is based on the importance of maintaining the sustainability of traditional cuisine amid modernization and changes in consumption patterns. The method used is a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with three informants, namely an MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Eterprises) practitioner, a traditional leader, and a consumer. The results show that Ayam Napinadar has a unique characteristic in the use of andaliman and blood (gota) as its distinctive flavor. Traditionally, the cooking process involves grilling over firewood to produce a characteristic smoky aroma, although it has now shifted to more practical methods without altering the original recipe. From a cultural perspective, Ayam Napinadar holds symbolic meaning as an expression of prayers, blessings, and joy in various Batak traditional ceremonies. However, there are challenges in its preservation, such as the declining participation of younger generations in traditional activities and the increasing influence of modern foods. In conclusion, Ayam Napinadar functions not only as food but also as a medium for preserving cultural values and ethnic identity. This study provides benefits as a basis for developing gastronomic tourism and strategies for preserving traditional cuisine through education, collaboration, and the use of modern promotional media.

The dominance of digital technology in contemporary society has led to a shift in human values. Technology no longer serves merely as a tool but has evolved into a crucial system shaping interaction, communication, and behavior. This study uses qualitative methods to examine how digital technology influences human values in modern society. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out, incorporating thematic analysis of relevant sources. According to this study, the prevalence of digital technology has significantly transformed many aspects of social life. This includes the transition from a user-centered paradigm to a more automated system-centered paradigm; the conversion of human identity into data representation in digital systems; as well as the move from in-person to online communication within social exchanges. These effects undermine the quality of social relationships, reduce empathy and interpersonal interaction, increase dependence on technology, and lead to dehumanization. Furthermore, changes in information perception have the potential to improve digital literacy but simultaneously reduce the quality of critical public reflection. Nevertheless, digital technology continues to offer advantages such as easier access to information and productivity gains. Therefore, strategic efforts are needed to improve user-centered technology, digital skills, and adaptable regulations.

Traditional artworks, amidst the tide of modernization and digitalization, face the challenge of being stigmatized as static relics of the past. However, in the midst of increasingly modern civilization, traditional artworks are perceived to possess philosophical values ​​for the younger generation. The meanings contained in traditional songs possess a social perspective lacking in most traditional songs composed in the modern era. The purpose of this article is to examine the lyrics of Ki Nartosabdo's song "Lumbung Desa" philosophically and sociologically, applying Roland Barthes's semiotic theory. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze semiotics, comprising the significance of denotation, connotation, and myth.The analysis shows that the denotation in the lyrics of "Lumbung Desa" depicts agricultural activities occurring in rural communities.

From a mythical perspective, the lyrics symbolize the values ​​of harmony in social life and mutual cooperation as a solid foundation for building national stability and progress. Further analysis of the song lyrics' relevance in the modern era shows that the meaning of "Lumbung" has transformed into financial and digital independence, while the value of "Rukun" points to the application of ethics in the use of digital media in the modern era. This article concludes that preserving traditional songs is a strategy to revive culture as a manifestation of material progress that impacts the well-being of modern society.

The axiology of science is a branch of the philosophy of science that examines the values, goals, and orientations of scientific knowledge utilization. This article aims to philosophically analyze the concept of the axiology of science from Western and Islamic perspectives, highlighting their fundamental similarities and differences. This research employs a qualitative method, employing a literature review approach with descriptive-analytical and comparative methods. The results of the study indicate that in the Western philosophical tradition, the axiology of science has developed historically, from the search for the highest good in classical times to the tendency towards value relativism in the modern and postmodern eras, with human rationality as the center of value determination. Meanwhile, the axiology of science in Islam is rooted in monotheism as a metaphysical foundation, with revelation as the primary source of values ​​and reason serving as an interpretive instrument. Despite paradigmatic differences, both traditions affirm that science cannot be separated from moral dimensions and ethical responsibility. This article concludes that dialogue between Western and Islamic axiology is essential for building a scientific paradigm that is not only rational and progressive, but also moral, just, and oriented towards the welfare of humanity.
