Ketiadaan Otoritas Terpusat dalam Fenomena Kontemporer di Indonesia

Abstract

This article presents an analysis result on contemporary phenomenon inIndonesia by sociological approach. This states that Ulama or kiai whowere formerly the only religious authorities fused religious purity inpolitical interest. This gives negative influence for religious authorityitself. Substantive divine will is forced to submit to the will of individualor certain group. So Islam which is previously inclusive and moderatmelts to exclusive and discriminative acts. The distance betweenreligious goals to rahmatan lil-’alamin and individual political interesthas been eroded (hyper-reality). Therefore, society has not trusted to thetraditional authority and rational-legal authority. In actual fact,authority construction of Weber is nothing.
