Abstract: Indonesia is widely known as a plural society in addition to popularly being a multicultural nation. Not only does it have the wealth of natural resources, but also it has the most vibrant socio-cultural wealth in the world. This cultural diversity becomes an inevitable reality.

This research aims to create a model for acculturation dialogue between representatives of religion, local wisdom, and power. The study uses a socially defined paradigm as an approach to cultural acculturation and adopts the theory of institutional development acculturation of Islam (almuhaafadhatu ala al-qadiimi al-shaalih wa al-akhdu bi al-jadiidi al-ashlah). This research found five models for acculturation dialogue between religion, local wisdom and power, namely, 1) taggayyur /deculturating /changing, 2) takammul /additive/ perfecting, 3) tahammul /considerate /tolerant, 4) tasallum /inclusive /receptive, and 5) tamsarrub /institutive /absorbing. The first acculturation model tends to reject the other cultures. The second model tends to be open and cross-sectoral in its approach. The third model is tolerant and accepting of all. The fourth model tends to be open and objective in recognizing truth and goodness from outside of itself, an acculturation model that has the potential to create peace and harmony. The fifth model seeks to absorb universal values so that together cultures are institutionalized into a new cultural unity.

Tulisan ini bertujuan ingin mendeskripsikan perbedaan konseptual Pendidikan Barat (Umum) dan Pendidikan Islam. Berdasarkan hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa perbedaan paradigma pendidikan Barat dan Islam tidak hanya terbatas pada ranah ontologis dan epistemologisnya, tetapi juga pada ranah aksiologis. Pada ranah ontologis, perbedaan pendidikan terlihat terutama pada ruang lingkup dan hakikat pendidikan itu sendiri. Pada ranah epistemologis, perbedaan keduanya terletak pada sumber pengetahuan yang dicari serta cara dan strategi untuk menggali sumber pengetahuan itu. Ranah konseptual ontologis hingga proses pendidikan (epistemologis) yang berbeda akan berpengaruh secara langsung pada tataran aksiologinya. Secara aksiologis, Pendidikan Barat tidak menjadikan nilai-nilai sebagai bagian dari hasil pendidikan, sementara Islam basis nilai manjadi sebuah keniscayaan dan bagian yang tak terpisahkan dari hasil pendidikan itu sendiri.

Sufism has evolved from time to time and from society to another by presenting itself in various forms and ways. By virtue of its tenets, Sufism has influenced many societies and different cultures. Sufis have played a significant role in their respective societies as religious mentors or else as political advisors. Many of them have otherwise stood in opposition to the political authority and proposed a better way of running the society. Across history, Sufism has shown itself as a dynamic and innovative social and religious force. In the final analysis, Sufism cannot be ignored as the major contributor to the structure of Islamic civilization. In the meantime, the social and religious malaises that we witness in modern time have called Sufism into play. Modernism has produced an unbalanced life, triggering the absolutistic way of life where a man is aware only of his physical dimension and ignoring his spiritual inner being. Here, Sufism can play its important role. The modern intellectual paradigm that puts more emphasis on empiricism and rationalism and produces as a result the positivistic mode of thinking has paved the way for Sufism to occur and recur as the dominant player in the domain of man-personality building. This paper is concerned with this issue and other related problems. Putting in mind that Sufism has its social dimension the paper believes that it has something to offer for modern men living in time of great uncertainty.
