TRADISI DAN MODERNITAS PERSPEKTIF SEYYED HOSSEIN NASR
Abstract: This article is
intended to scrutinize Seyyed Hosssein Nasr’s thought about the negative
dimensions of modernity and put it into the problems of the world where the
idea of materialism ends due to greed of modern people. Nasr’s aim is actually
to save humanity from destructive elements of modernity due to the idea of
materialism, although the traditional-ism project that he proposed has still
looked for a momentum within human consciousness and that is not to neglect the
sacred matter in under-standing their world. In a reflection of his
traditionalism, Nasr presupposes the creation of a progressive world presented
with self-awareness to the existence of the Absolute and the Infallible. Nasr
believes that modern people could live with their idea of perennial philosophy
that connects everything in this world into the realm of the sacred. Benefits
of modernity, according to Nasr, will be tarnished if people deny every sacred
matter.
