Abstract

The deterioration of the Earth's ecosystem and its subsequent impact represents a mounting concern. The increase in crimes against humanity, the destruction of the natural world, and the extinction of animals is a matter of grave concern. The objective of science is to address the damage through a scientific approach. However, in order to instill a sense of moral responsibility, it is becoming increasingly necessary to adopt an approach that is rooted in ancient traditions. This paper focuses on wayang kamasan, a traditional communal art that has been maintained since the 14th century and is synonymous with value-laden tradition. The objective of this paper is to examine the wisdom of wayang kamasan from the perspective of Emmanuel Levinas' moral philosophy in order to ascertain its relevance in the context of sustainability. The research analysis revealed that the values inherent to wayang kamasan encompass transcendent, wisdom, vital, and utilitarian values. These values represent the nexus of artistic practice and traditional aesthetics, influencing spiritual experience, moral conduct, and the exercise of wisdom in action. The wisdom inherent in wayang kamasan offers a robust foundation for directing moral responsibility towards sustainability.
