Keberadaan Iman dan Kemanusiaan dalam Pemaknaan Filosofis Gabriel Marcel dan Kristianitas Gensler

Abstract

This writing explores the intrinsic relationship between religion and humanity, highlighting the thoughts of philosopher Gabriel Marcel on the importance of intersubjective relations in achieving ontological unity. Through Marcel's lens, human existence is described as an existential journey that requires self-understanding and understanding of others, where love and togetherness become bridges to self-fulfillment and existential awareness. Furthermore, based on the phenomena of Islamophobia and religious intolerance, the principle of "humanity above religion" becomes the main topic of discussion. Through the concept of the Law of Love in Christianity and Gensler's thoughts on the relationship between faith and morality, this writing emphasizes the need for cooperation and understanding among religions in a pluralistic society. It is also emphasized that acceptance and humanity cannot be separated; they both need each other to create a balance that allows individuals to become whole persons. Through this analysis, this writing seeks to offer a new perspective in understanding and addressing issues of intolerance and religious conflict, emphasizing the importance of transcendent human values above religious differences.
