Wisdom from Rural Java: Ethics and Worldviews
This study illustrate the strong relationship between world views and ethical values that are embedded in the lives of a group of people called wong pinter. Some notes on the results of the study show the following points.rnFirst, on the basis of the categories of worldviews studied (classification, causality, space, time, and self-others relation), it is found that the concept of classification is not strong enough. The concept of space is also not sufficiently patterned, in contrast to the findings of the concept of space on the Ainu people, the people of Bali and Yogyakarta. Wong pinter describes the concept of space in relation to the existence of non-human beings. The concept of time is explained more details. Some of the views about time are intended to discipline and self-control. On the self-other concept, God becomes the most important element in His status as the almighty. The self is a common creature that interact with other human and non-human being. Horizontally, the worldview of wong pinter pivots on the ethical elements of the relationship between God’s creatures that synergize and create harmony so as to create a comfortable and peaceful life.
