AXIOLOGICAL ORIENTATION OF THE NUSANTARA PHILOSOPHY PROJECT

Is the decolonisation of ethos axiological inherent in the project of developing Nusantara Philosophy? So what are the values used as a reference for the decolonisation project? The so-called local wisdom (local indigenous) as the object of study of Nusantara Philosophy are bound by the deterministic influence of post-colonial circumstances. Consequently, the development of Nusantara Philosophy cannot be separated from post-colonial discourse. Similar to other disciplines that focus on decolonisation discourse, clarity is needed regarding the axiological orientation of the development of Nusantara Philosophy. This research offers a hypothesis that the development of Nusantara Philosophy is oriented toward decolonisation efforts, especially its axiological orientation. The second hypothesis is that the axiological basis is essential to build strength and a clear path toward the uniqueness of Nusantara Philosophy compared to other well-established philosophy that usually refers to the mighty Western Philosophy. So, the result will be intended to answer the accusations about the stagnation of Nusantara Philosophy as a subaltern philosophy or only as an ethnocentric philosophy (ethno-philosophy).
