Lontar Calon Arang selama ini sering dipahami sebatas sebagai cerita magis tentang ilmu hitam dan praktik leak, sehingga dimensi etika dan filosofis yang terkandung di dalamnya kurang mendapat perhatian secara mendalam. Padahal, teks ini menyimpan ajaran etika Hindu yang kompleks dan relevan dengan kehidupan modern, khususnya dalam menghadapi krisis moral dan sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji ajaran etika dalam Lontar Calon Arang, mengungkap makna filosofisnya melalui pendekatan ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi, serta menganalisis fungsi etika tersebut dalam berbagai dimensi kehidupan. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan hermeneutik dan analisis teks, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi pustaka terhadap naskah lontar dan sumber-sumber ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Lontar Calon Arang mengandung nilai-nilai etika utama seperti dharma, satya, ahimsa, ksama, dan tapa yang diwujudkan melalui tokoh dan konflik cerita. Secara filosofis, etika dalam lontar ini merepresentasikan dualitas kebaikan dan kejahatan sebagai realitas ontologis, pengetahuan moral yang diperoleh melalui guru, pengalaman, dan teks sebagai aspek epistemologis, serta nilai-nilai etika sebagai pedoman hidup dalam dimensi aksiologis. Selain itu, ajaran etika dalam lontar ini memiliki fungsi yang bersifat multidimensional, yaitu religius, edukatif, sosial, psikologis, dan kosmologis, yang berperan dalam membentuk karakter individu, menjaga harmoni masyarakat, serta mempertahankan keseimbangan alam semesta.I mplikasi penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Lontar Calon Arang tidak hanya memiliki nilai sastra dan budaya, tetapi juga dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber pendidikan etika dan pengembangan karakter berbasis kearifan lokal yang relevan dalam konteks kehidupan modern. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan studi etika Hindu serta pemanfaatannya dalam dunia pendidikan dan kehidupan sosial
MAKNA SIMBOLIK PANCA SEMBAH: ANALISIS SEMIOTIKA PENANDA DAN PETANDA DALAM MEMBANGUN KESADARAN TRANSENDENTAL TERHADAP IDA SANG HYANG WIDHI WASA
Panca Sembah merupakan inti dari praktik persembahyangan umat Hindu yang sarat dengan simbol-simbol religius, namun pemahamannya sering kali masih terbatas pada aspek ritualistik sehingga makna filosofis dan spiritual yang terkandung di dalamnya belum sepenuhnya dipahami. Kondisi ini menyebabkan fungsi simbolik Panca Sembah sebagai media pembentukan kesadaran transendental terhadap Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa belum terungkap secara komprehensif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis makna simbolik Panca Sembah melalui pendekatan semiotika penanda (signifier) dan petanda (signified) serta menjelaskan perannya dalam membangun kesadaran transendental umat Hindu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan interpretatif dan analisis semiotika Ferdinand de Saussure. Data diperoleh melalui studi kepustakaan yang bersumber dari kitab suci Hindu, literatur keagamaan, buku filsafat, dan artikel ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa simbol-simbol dalam Panca Sembah, seperti añjali mudrā, bunga, kewangen, mantra, dan gestur ritual lainnya, berfungsi sebagai penanda yang merepresentasikan petanda berupa kesucian, bhakti, penyerahan diri, harmoni kosmis, serta kesadaran akan hubungan antara Atman dan Brahman. Simbol-simbol tersebut membentuk konstruksi kesadaran transendental yang mengarahkan umat Hindu pada pengalaman spiritual yang lebih mendalam terhadap Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Implikasi penelitian ini memperkaya kajian semiotika agama Hindu sekaligus menegaskan bahwa Panca Sembah tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai ritual keagamaan, tetapi juga sebagai media transformasi spiritual dan penguatan kesadaran ketuhanan.
Purana sebagai Sumber Teologi Hindu: Menafsirkan Konsep Ketuhanan dalam Tradisi Sanātana Dharma
Purana merupakan salah satu kelompok kitab Smṛti yang memiliki peranan penting dalam perkembangan teologi Hindu. Namun, dalam kajian akademik, Purana lebih sering dipahami sebagai kumpulan narasi mitologis, sejarah, atau sastra keagamaan, sehingga dimensi teologis yang terkandung di dalamnya belum memperoleh perhatian yang memadai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan menafsirkan konsep Ketuhanan dalam Purana serta menjelaskan kedudukannya sebagai sumber teologi dalam tradisi Sanātana Dharma. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Data primer diperoleh dari Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Śrīmad Bhāgavata Purāṇa, Śiva Purāṇa, dan Devī Bhāgavata Purāṇa, sedangkan data sekunder berasal dari buku dan artikel ilmiah yang relevan. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika teologis untuk menginterpretasikan makna konseptual mengenai Brahman, Īśvara, Trimūrti, avatāra, devatā, dan bhakti sebagai unsur utama teologi Purana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Purana tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai teks naratif, tetapi juga membangun sistem teologi yang komprehensif mengenai hakikat Ketuhanan. Purana menjelaskan Brahman sebagai Realitas Absolut yang bersifat transenden (nirguṇa) sekaligus imanen (saguṇa), yang dimanifestasikan melalui Īśvara, Trimūrti, avatāra, dan berbagai devatā tanpa menghilangkan prinsip keesaan Tuhan. Selain itu, Purana menempatkan bhakti sebagai jalan spiritual yang menghubungkan manusia dengan Tuhan melalui cinta kasih, pengabdian, dan pengamalan dharma. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa Purana merupakan salah satu sumber teologi Hindu yang memiliki relevansi bagi pengembangan studi teologi Hindu, pendidikan agama Hindu, serta penguatan pemahaman keagamaan yang inklusif dalam tradisi Sanātana Dharma.

Analisis Semiotika Pada Film Peekay Fersepektif Filsafat Hindu
Peekay is a film that presents a critical perspective on religious practices through the use of various religious symbols. The film portrays the journey of its main character in understanding the concept of God amidst religious and cultural diversity. This study aims to analyze the denotative and connotative meanings of religious symbols in Peekay, interpret the messages conveyed from the perspective of Hindu philosophy, and examine the behavioral implications presented in the film toward religious understanding. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a hermeneutic method. Roland Barthes' semiotic theory was applied to analyze denotation, connotation, and myth embedded in the film's scenes, while reception theory was used to examine audience interpretations. The findings reveal that religious symbols in Peekay function not only as markers of religious identity but also as instruments for criticizing formalistic religious practices that often neglect spiritual values. From the perspective of Hindu philosophy, the search for truth should be grounded in viveka (discriminative wisdom), dharma, and Tri Pramana as valid sources of knowledge. The film contributes to developing a more critical and reflective understanding of religion while maintaining spiritual and humanitarian values.

MEMBANGUN MASYARAKAT BERAGAMA BERLOGIKA: RELEVANSI KONSEP LEMBAGA BUDI HAMKA DALAM MODERASI BERAGAMA DI INDONESIA
The concept of ethical institutions developed by Hamka has significant relevance in strengthening religious moderation in society. It teaches moral and ethical values that are based on common sense and ethics, which can enrich a moderate understanding of religiosity. In the context of taklid, namely following teachings without critical judgement, this concept encourages the enlightenment of the mind to form a more rational and reflective religious attitude. Religious moderation requires a balance between following religious teachings and applying logic and rationality in religion. By exploring the values of ethical institutions, individuals are expected to understand religious teachings more deeply and critically, reduce the potential for extremism, and promote tolerance and openness in society. Therefore, the integration of the concept of ethical institutions in religious education serves as an important means to build a religious community with a spirit of moderation, while avoiding the trap of taklid that can hinder the development of reason and spiritual enlightenment. The concept of Lembaga Budi initiated by Hamka has important relevance in the effort to build a logical religious society in Indonesia. This study aims to analyse how Hamka's thoughts on Lembaga Budi can strengthen the spirit of religious moderation in the midst of Indonesia's diversity. Using the content analysis method of Hamka's works as well as related literature studies, this research explores the essence of Lembaga Budi as the foundation of ethics and morality that balances the spiritual and rational dimensions. The results show that Hamka's concept of Lembaga Budi emphasises the importance of logical and critical reasoning in understanding and practising religious teachings. This is in line with the principle of religious moderation that prioritises a contextual and substantive approach to religious texts. Lembaga Budi also encourages an inclusive and tolerant attitude through an emphasis on universal values such as justice, honesty and compassion.

DAMPAK TRANSFORMSI DIGITAL TERHADAP MOBILITAS SOSIAL PADA MASYARAKAT PEDESAAN PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT MANUSIA
Digital transformation is a systemic shift that affects various aspects of human life, including social mobility in rural communities. Digital technologies offer new opportunities for access to education, information, and employment that were previously limited for people living in rural areas. However, not all individuals are equally able to take advantage of these opportunities. From the perspective of philosophical anthropology, particularly through the understanding of humans as thinking beings (homo sapiens) and free beings (homo liberum), digital transformation requires reflective thinking, autonomy in decision-making, and moral responsibility in the use of technology. Social mobility is not merely seen as material movement between social classes but also as the actualization of human potential within the digital space. Therefore, the role of technology in supporting rural life greatly depends on the extent to which individuals can think critically, adapt meaningfully, and regard technology as a means to achieve a more meaningful and dignified existence. This abstract highlights that digital transformation, when integrated with human values and philosophical reflection, can serve as an ethical and functional instrument in promoting inclusive and dignified social mobility in rural communities.
MEMBEDAH GAYA HIDUP HEDONIS DARI PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT STOIKISME
Hedonism, as an ethical doctrine that places pleasure as the highest goal in life, has undergone a significant shift in meaning in modern contexts. This article explores the phenomenon of contemporary hedonistic lifestyles, which are deeply rooted in consumerist and instant gratification tendencies, drifting away from the reflective values originally proposed by philosophers such as Epicurus. Through a qualitative approach and literature review, the discussion begins by examining the definition and classical essence of hedonism, followed by the identification of both historical and modern forms that thrive in today’s digital culture. The article highlights the link between a consumerist lifestyle and instant gratification as the primary manifestations of modern hedonism. Social media, exhibitionist culture, and consumerism significantly reinforce behavior centered on superficial pleasure-seeking. Behind this, however, lie psychological vulnerabilities and fragile life values, which are analyzed through the lens of Stoic philosophy. Stoicism rejects reliance on external pleasure and instead offers an alternative view of happiness grounded in inner peace and self-control. By drawing a comparison between hedonism and Stoicism, this article argues that true happiness is not solely derived from pleasure, but also from the depth and meaning of life experiences. Therefore, reinterpreting and critically evaluating the modern lifestyle becomes crucial so that individuals are not trapped in fleeting euphoria but can achieve stable and sustainable well- being.
IMPLEMENTASI STOIKISME SENECA SEBAGAI SOLUSI FILOSOFIS DALAM MENGHADAPI QUARTER LIFE CRISIS
Quarter-life crisis is a critical phase commonly experienced by individuals in early adulthood, marked by confusion about life direction, pressure of expectations, and anxiety about the future. In the digital era, social media exacerbates this crisis through mechanisms of unhealthy social comparison and unrealistic life expectations. Psychological symptoms such as anxiety, FOMO, and impostor syndrome have become increasingly prevalent. In such conditions, philosophical reflection becomes essential as a form of existential recovery. Stoic philosophy, particularly the thoughts of Seneca, offers a practical approach through principles such as the dichotomy of control, negative visualization, and journaling, which help individuals reorganize their values and sense of direction. This study employs a qualitative approach based on literature review to examine the interrelation between the quarter-life crisis, the influence of social media, and the relevance of Stoicism. The findings indicate that Stoicism is not merely an ancient philosophical heritage, but a contextual and applicable guide for the modern generation. Its philosophical values contribute to building mental resilience, inner tranquility, and wisdom in facing life’s pressures. Thus, this article asserts that philosophy can serve as a meaningful space of recovery for those seeking direction amidst the turbulence of contemporary life.
ETIKA UPACARA BHUTA YADNYA DALAM TRADISI NGEREBEG DI DESA KUBUTAMBAHAN KECAMATAN KUBUTAMBAHAN

This study aims to examine the ethical values contained in the implementation of Bhuta Yadnya ceremonies through the Ngerebeg tradition. The research uses a qualitative approach with literature study and field observation methods. The results show that ethics in the Ngerebeg tradition are manifested in attitudes of respect, collective awareness, and adherence to religious teachings and customs.

ETIKA TOLERANSI DALAM KEHIDUPAN MASYARAKAT MULTIKULTURAL DI KABUPATEN BANYUWANGI
Banyuwangi represents a microcosm of Indonesia's diversity, with its multicultural society comprising various ethnicities and religions. This diversity fosters social harmony through the implementation of ethical tolerance as the foundation of community life. Tolerance, as Edward Said stated, is not merely about acceptance but involves active efforts to understand, respect, and collaborate across differences. The practice of tolerance in Banyuwangi is evident in various aspects, such as interfaith cooperation during religious celebrations, social interactions through cultural traditions like Gandrung Sewu and Barong Ider Bumi, and the integration of pluralism values in education. Key roles are also played by religious leaders, community figures, and media in promoting awareness of tolerance. Furthermore, economic stability and intergroup experiences enhance inclusive social relations. Despite its achievements, challenges remain in maintaining and strengthening tolerance. Thus, efforts such as tolerance education, interfaith dialogue, digital literacy, and the preservation of local traditions must continue to ensure social harmony. As Kofi Annan noted, “Tolerance, whether between religions or individuals, is the foundation of lasting peace.”By addressing the factors influencing tolerance, Banyuwangi demonstrates that diversity is an asset rather than a threat. It serves as a tangible example of how harmony in diversity can be achieved, embodying the spirit of Bhineka Tunggal Ika. Sustaining this spirit ensures that Banyuwangi remains a model for multicultural coexistence.

YOGA SAMADHI SEBAGAI UPAYA TERWUJUDNYA MANUNGGALING KAWULA GUSTI (Perspektif Kejawen)
Some of the people on the island of Java who still carry out the rituals and concept of Manunggaling Kawula Gusti are the Kejawen people. Kejawen is a Javanese spiritual belief that contains traditions, rituals, as well as art and culture. The Javanese tribe is one of the tribes in Indonesia that has very strong local beliefs in the archipelago so that it has developed and become the soul of its people's lives.

FILSAFAT MANUSIA DALAM LONTAR TATTWA SANGKANING DADI JANMA
Humans are rational beings who are able to determine their own path in life. Rational humans are not believers who, like children, must follow what their father says, but rather adults who seek the truth, through dialogue with themselves and outside parties who are considered to have authority. These humans have two identities that come from themselves, such as: their soul (the similarity of all human identities) and their bodies (skin color, race, gender). Although the distance between body and soul is very close, these two types of identities have very different consequences. The first leads to an understanding of the similarity of human identity and therefore respect for the right to life of every person. The second, on the contrary, emphasizes differences in external characteristics, feels that they are the most important, who must be respected, gives birth to an attitude of triumphalism, and by any means wants to realize their superiority, their feelings or religion, including violence. In Hinduism, humans are seen as creatures who have many enemies within themselves because it is implicitly contained in the teachings of Sad Ripu, kama, lobha, krodha, mada, moha and matsarya.
