Abstract

The study on Kiai is a crucial and interesting discussion among the Indonesian Muslim community. This article tries to find the roots of the problem on the emergence of cult tradition towards Kiai, mainly in the pesantren community. The study uses the field observation method, in-depth interview, and interpretation of the results. The research formulates cult tradition towards Kiai within the historical study, model and method of cult transformation, power and kiai’s authority, and a cult's roots among santris’ community. The study finds that cult tradition towards Kiai has emerged from Kiai’s personal power due to his knowledge charisma and his personality as well as institutional charisma as a result of intense and continuous sociological relationships with other institutions.

Abstract

Karl Popper once criticizes the positivistic paradigm by means of what he calls the theory of falsification. To him, the positivistic paradigm constitutes a failure simply because it cannot distinguish between science and prude science, that is, between empirical method and non-empirical method. In the scientific knowledge, empirical science, mathematics and logic must be differentiated, something that the positivistic paradigm has failed to do. This paradigm furthermore, did not have a clear picture what logic-based science is, empirical knowledge and psychology of knowledge. It also fails to properly understand knowledge that springs from tradition, emotion, authority and so forth. All positivistic paradigms such as that of Karl Max?s Historicism, Freud?s theory of Psycho Analysis, Adler?s theory of Individual Analysis and Newton?s theory of Gravitation fall into this trap of failure.

Abstract

This article analyzes the epistemology of healing developed by kiai-traditional healer. In the Indonesian-Islamic tradition of healing, the kiai-traditional healer develops his own epistemological construct of healing, based on: (1) textual basis (bay?n?) referring to classical Islamic references, such as al-Awf?q and Shams al-Ma??rif; (2) intuitive power (?irf?n?) in the form of mystical practices, such as spiritual endeavor (muj?hadah), tawajjuh, self-cleansing (tazk?yat al-nafs), wara?, consistency (istiq?mah), and forbearance (?abr); and (3) pragmatic basis of the truth, particularly its utility value for the society. Normatively, the kiai-traditional healer uses different media of healing in terms of its easiness, belief or charm. Accordingly, it results in an impression that there are many modes of healing, i.e., medical, magical, mystical, and cosmic. The meaning of healing by the kiai-traditional healer constitutes a placebo effect of well-being, that is, an attempt of the kiai to implant evocation to recover the condition of human being.
