| Abstrak/Abstract |
Indonesia is a pluralistic country. This plurality is indicated by the existence of ethnicities,
races, customs, languages, and religions. Plurality does not only breed cooperation, but also
conflict. The fact shows that religious plurality is one of the biggest challenges in Indonesia. This
study aimed to explore the concept of value in the ??? Upani?ad verses which correlate with the
plurality of religions in Indonesia. This research used a qualitative approach. Data collection in
this study was carried out through document studies on primary and secondary data sources. The
primary data sources in this study are ??? Upani?ad by Sri Aurobinda, The Principal Upanishads
by S. Radhakrishnan, and The Upanisads: A Complete Guide by Cohen Signe, while secondary
data sources include documents relevant to the object of the research material. The data analysis
in this study used methodical steps of descriptive, interpretative, and holistic analysis, while the
theory used is Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutic theory. The results of this study indicate that
the verses in the ??? Upani?ad have a concept of value that is correlated with the plurality of
religions in Indonesia: kinship, tolerance, and harmony; divinity, holiness, and glory; equality,
justice, and non-discrimination; unity and oneness; brotherhood, empathy, love, and mutual
respect. |
