JATI DIRI: YANG NASIONALIS DAN YANG RELIGIUS DALAM BINGKAI KEWARGANEGARAAN

Abstract

Identity, as what defines one’s self directly, touches on the question of human
existence: how we identify ourselves and affirm our identity and group admist
plural reality as with the nation of Indonesia. Indonesian citizens affirm their
identity which is religious and at the same time national. As citizens, on the one
hand, we give rational reasons when making political demands, and not simply
emotional preferences. On the other hand these reasons have a public quality, that
is need to be capable of convincing people of various beliefs and nations. For this
to take place there needs to be a discernment process between what is a personal
faith matter and those convictions that need to be defended in the public square.

Kata-kata Kunci: Jati diri, negara, agama, nalar publik, kesadaran,
dialog, pluralitas.
