ABSTRACT

The Nusantara is the geospatial correlate of Indonesia’s official state ideology of Pancasila. The statist discourse around Pancasila, however, demands the Nusantara to be simultaneously subdued and sublime. Subdued, such that the totalizing and territorializing drive of the modern nation-building project may proceed against the fragmentary being of the archipelago; and sublime, for it is the profound and rich “traditional culture” of the Nusantara of which the official state ideology purports to embody. This paper offers a critique of Filsafat Nusantara, a mode of doing Indonesian philosophy that contributes to the statist capture of the Nusantara by purporting to extract and explicate “local wisdoms” and “hidden values” of the archipelago, in accordance with the statist injunction to render the Nusantara a sublime, “culturally rich” object.
