"Gotong Royong" as Indonesian Philosophy in Max Scheler Perspectives

More about the book

Gotong-royong by Sukarno in Perspective Axiology Max Scheler aims to find analytically the objective meaning of the principle of gotong-royong in the perspective of axiology, and reflect the appreciation of value in Indonesia. Axiology selected as an object to be formal because this research focused on gotong-royong as a typical value of Indonesia. This theme is expected to contribute to the life of the Indonesian people today who seem to live in a crisis of mutual cooperation in various fields. Sukarno summarizes Pancasila in a single value, namely the "gotong-royong" (mutual assistance of Indonesia) or he describes as Ekasila. The essence of Pancasila finds a great challenge today. Diversity in many areas that characterizes the Indonesian nation is actually an asset and a tremendous potential for progress together, but today that surfaced precisely various phenomena of violence and conflict that undermines a sense of Indonesian nationalism as a great nation.
