Toleransi Antarumat Beragama di Indonesia dari Perspektif Etika Kepedulian

Abstrak

Dialogue and co-existence between religious believers have been practiced
quite extensively in Indonesia, especially since the New Order era. From the
beginning, it did happen top-down because of the government's political
strategy to create a peaceful and stable society for the success of physical
development. However, in subsequent developments, the importance of
changing approaches to dialogue and cooperation between religious
believers was considered as an urgent matter. Therefore, the active
involvement of citizens and the creation of social spaces for the interaction
and encounter of citizens of different religions, ethnicities and cultures have
been initiated and practiced by the government in many regions of Indonesia.
Unfortunately, intolerant and exclusive attitudes among citizens still occur.
By using philosophical inquiry methods to analyze various practices of
interreligious dialogue in Indonesia, it was found that first, there has been a
change in approach in interreligious dialogue in Indonesia. Second, it is
increasingly being realized that social spaces for encounters between
different citizens must continue to be expanded as a medium to combat
intolerant attitudes. Third, caring ethics, especially aspects of attention, can
be a moral and philosophical foundation that strengthens caring interactions
between citizens in the social space that has been formed.
