Why Founding Indonesian School? Axiological Question

What is “Indonesian School” ( “Mazhab Indonesia” ) in Ontological Question? How does the “Indonesian School” reside in Epistemological Question? And why founding Indonesian School in Axiological Question? What do we need: the Indonesian School of International Relations? or the Indonesian School of World Relations? We present this article to bridge the shift in understanding of International Relations scholars whose approach is still Western-centric to an Eastern-centric approach. Therefore, the Indonesian School (Manunggalism): Indonesian School of World Relations presents ways of thinking about seeing the world from the East beyond the “Indonesian School of International Relations”.

The Indonesian School (Manunggalism): Indonesian School of World Relations is a central paradigms, philosophies, and theories initiated by Adi Rio Arianto and Gesti Anggraini in seeing the world (worldview) based on the World Kemanunggalan Values (Nilai-Nilai Kemanunggalan Dunia: Gotong Royong, Kesatuan, dan Kerukunan) of “Manunggalism” both in the space of ontology, epistemology, axiology, and eschatology of the natural order of the universe (cosmic). The Indonesian School expands the construction of the world order by understanding the world within the framework of thinking “World Relations System (WR)” beyond the “International Relations System (IR).”

Based on the 1st Indonesian School Congress on August 28, 2024, which produced the “Demak Declaration” document which contains eight matters regarding ways to build world relations, then Indonesian School (Manunggalism): Indonesian School of World Relations aims to understand the existence and substance of all philosophies of nations (both Eastern and Western philosophy) through a combination of scientific science, historical research of ancient texts, and mystical treatises; critically analyzing the spirit of the current era throughout the world; and synthesize paradigms, philosophies, and theories for the order of: Manunggalistiwa, Kemanunggalan Dunia, and Manunggal Peace Theory.

In the spirit of Manunggalian, the Indonesian School builds Eastern philosophical methods to strengthen the Eastern World Relations Theory (WRT) based on Mysticism-Manularism, balancing Western philosophical methods of Western International Relations Theory (IRT) based on Materialism-Secularism. The synthesis is the Discipline of World Relations.

The Manunggalian spirit was built from the essence of the thoughts of the Indonesian School published in UGM Digital Press with the title “Manunggalism: Paradigm, Philosophy, and Theory to View the World Relations (WR) Belong to Indonesian School (Mazhab Indonesia) in Manunggalian Era 21st Century“.

Manunggalism scholars build ways of paradigm, philosophy, and theory to carry out Manunggalian based on the reorganization of the world into 8 (eight) parts, namely history, civilization, culture, tradition, philosophy, ideology, social, and human. Purification moves multipolarly in the fields of literature, art, architecture, music, politics, law, science, religion, and in the intellectual field.

Thus is “Manunggalian Man.” The Indonesian School is actively producing philosophers in the power of oral (discussion), writing (publication) and movement (advocacy) Purification of the “Manunggalian” World of the 21st Century. In addition, the Indonesian School also expands the network of cooperation between thinkers in paradigm, philosophy, and theory in order to connect the Indonesian School with other world schools such as: the English School, the American School, the Copenhagen School, the Canadian School, the Russian School, the French School, and the Frankfurt School, the Indian School, also the Chinese School.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian School (Manunggalism): Indonesian School of World Relations has given birth to several theories, namely World Relations Theory, Geometripolitics, Fifth Base World Security, World Geometrian War, and Manunggal Peace Theory.
