| description | <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0in">In the pre-Independence era, our
republic founders held the Cold War mindset strongly. Consequently, the
Indonesian republic proclaimed in 1945 was based on a Cold War mindset; our
state philosophy (<i>Pancasila</i>) and the Constitution (<i>UUD '45</i>) were
understood and construed on the Cold War discourse basis; and binary
oppositions of capitalism-socialism and liberalism-communism since then have
been created. Up to the 2020s, the Cold War mindset has still been held by
public intellectuals and the binary oppositions have still been rampant in
intellectual discourses. If the mindset were still held for three decades to
come, it would cause a setback to the development of Indonesian philosophy
history. This article is a call to stop and an invitation to escape from the
retrogressive mindset. As a call, the article exposes first the evil root of
the Cold War mindset as well as the philosophical critique towards it. Then, as
an invitation, it suggests three realistic alternative mindsets to replace the
Cold War mindset, i.e. post-Cold War capitalistic mindset, deconstructive
mindset, and utopian mindset, which are called herein as three growth
scenarios. It is believed that, if the three generating scenarios are followed,
they will move Indonesian philosophy history forward, and its ongoing development
will not hinder or retard<span lang="IN">.</span><o:p></o:p></p> |
