Abstract

The civilization of the Archipelago (Nusantara) possesses a rich epistemological and philosophical heritage rooted in dynamic harmony among humanity, nature, and transcendental values. However, contemporary modernization and digital disruption have created a dichotomy between empirical science and traditional wisdom, leading to a breakdown in intergenerational value transmission. This study aims to analyze the cultural and spiritual architecture of Nusantara through a triadic framework: science as an objective-empirical instrument, empathy as an ethical-social foundation, and value transmission as a mechanism for cultural sustainability. Employing a qualitative literature research method with hermeneutic and critical content analysis, this study examines indigenous knowledge systems, including vernacular architecture, agrometeorological systems (Pranata Mangsa), maritime navigation (Pappasang), and hydrological engineering (Subak). The findings demonstrate that Nusantara epistemology is not merely historical folklore but a living, empirical knowledge system compatible with modern scientific validation. Reconciling empirical science with Nusantara's humanistic-spiritual values fosters a techno-humanist framework and contextual educational models capable of addressing contemporary ecological and social crises while safeguarding cultural identity.
