Vol. 3 No. 2 (2024): Integritas Terbuka: Peace and Interfaith Studies

INTEGRITAS TERBUKA: PEACE AND INTERFAITH STUDIES, Vol. 3, No. 2, 2024 (October–December 2024). The October–December 2024 edition of Integritas Terbuka: Peace and Interfaith Studies features eight compelling articles exploring peace, spirituality, and interfaith harmony. This edition examines interfaith dialogue as a foundation of peace education, highlighting initiatives like Halaqah Damai that foster tolerance and inclusivity in diverse societies. Another study compares Søren Kierkegaard’s and Al-Ghazali’s views on death, offering profound reflections on existence and human mortality. The sacred institution of marriage is analyzed through Islamic and Catholic lenses, revealing shared commitments to familial harmony and responsibility despite differing practices. Sufism is explored through the perspectives of Imam Al-Ghazali and Ibn Arabi, contrasting moral purification with metaphysical unity and underscoring their modern relevance. Education’s transformative power is critiqued through Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, calling for liberatory practices to counter oppressive systems. Calvinist ethics are presented as a framework for interfaith harmony, emphasizing simplicity, hard work, and mutual respect. Additional articles investigate the role of Islamic moderation (wasatiyyah) in reducing political polarization and Axel Honneth’s recognition theory to address social media conflicts. Together, these studies contribute fresh insights and actionable strategies to navigate the complexities of coexistence in today’s interconnected world. This edition enriches the discourse on peace and interfaith collaboration.
