Revisiting Integral Ecology Based on Islamic Communication

Abstract

Communication relationship between humans and the environment has undergone evolution, from the ecocentric, transitional, anthropocentric, to the holistic stage. This study describes ecological issues based on Islamic communication science. The analytical method used is the philosophy of Islamic communication science and ecological philosophy. There are three basic principles in the philosophy of Islamic communication, namely the communicator (God), the communicant (human), and the community (nature). The method of analysis of ecological philosophy uses pessimistic and optimistic views. The findings in this study are the concept of integralistic ecological communication. Namely the concept of ecological maintenance which involves the roles of God, humans, and nature.
