Emulate The Philosophy of Wayang


          When the puppeteer Ki Soenarjo comeback after some time "disappeared" from the puppet show stage, there was a distinct surprise to the author of the play when the provocateur was held at the court of the Tugu Pahlawan in the framework of the anniversary of East Java Province to-65 some time ago , he brought the same fine as before. But in this paper the author is not to peel back what has been narrated by the dalang Soenarjo, but rather to recall the author is trying overview of his advice about man and nature if the wayang which correlated with the author wrote long before the provocateur was held.
            
Literacy learning of western philosophy in the era of the seventeenth century until the twenties, the flow of positivism with the character of a philosopher who is also the first sociologist A. Comte (1798-1857).
Where A. Comte says that the advent of every human thought, the science of thought, and thought the human race is basically through three stages. Namely, theological, metafis, scientific and positive. The birth of the puppet that contain profound meaning could be the result of the three elements of the collaborative, and based also on the mind and the mind that if an abstract-metafis, according to this writer (Pintu Masuk ke Dunia Filsafat, Dr. Harry Hamersma, p. 59-60 ). In line with the opinion of the (identical) ever delivered dalang Soernarjo that the creation or drawing symbols with a holistic, dressing on the wayang literally represent the nature and human character in general. Thus even with that already done by the King of the Kingdom Mamenang Jayabaya in Kadiri where in the 11th century is he created a "figure" that was quoted from the positive values ​​are never taught by their ancestors in order to remain immortal, and poured in a palm leaf . That is, before the flow is initiated the positivism of his opinion, the King Jayabaya already from the beginning to start.
            
Exclusivity wayang, its urgency in the formality of the Javanese culture is more appropriate when viewed from the perspective (point of view) the philosophy's. Because in the history of his birth, puppets includes potential as well as the positive energy in the social human beings live their lives on this earth, such as: ethics, norms, truth, morality, and honesty. In the story of the Mahabharata, for instance, where there is mentioned that the Pandavas represent the virtues and the Kauravas are symbolized as a devotee of lust and wrath. Internalization puppet full of dynamic philosophy of life: nrimo ing pandum (accept whatever they are), memeyu hayuning bawana (make the world a prosperous), jer basuki mawa bea (want a happiness to sacrifice), or kautamaning urip (be the main man). Appreciation for the realization of the puppet, the emphasis is on ethics (moral virtue) that accumulates in human beings to always adhere to the values ​​of natural law terminology. Rapidly increasing complexity of puppets, because the puppet is turned on as a logical consequence of the awareness of global ethic that goes along with the dilemma of cultural and human life. Puppet were present in the midst of plurality and clog all influences and dangers of fundamentalist intolerance.
