KONSEP AKTUALISASI DIRI PERSPEKTIF BARAT DAN ISLAM

Abstract

This study aims at the Islamization of contemporary Western concepts related to self-actualization that has been secularized. By using a comparative analysis method between the views of Western philosophers and Islam, this study finds several points. First, actualization according to Western philosophers is having skills in cognitive, affective, and psychological aspects, but still materialistic. Second, the self-potential in the Western view is one's desire for phenomenology. Third, self-actualization in Islam is different from the West, not materialistic, but contains sacred Islamic values and can lead individuals to a perfect position or Insan Kamil. Fourth, Insan Kamil in Islam can be embodied through the actualization of self-potential or nature which is completely untouched by western concepts.
