Abstract:
Theosophy is one part of Indonesian history that is not widely known by the Indonesian people
today. Its existence is like a puzzle missing from its frame. This study aims to reveal the theosophical
romance as part of Indonesian history and explain how it affects to educate the Indonesian people to
become a democratic and prosperous nation. The method used in this research is the literature study
method. The results showed that theosophy had a significant influence on the history of the
Indonesian people, both in the political, social, and educational fields. In the political field,
theosophy has inspired many movement leaders in the effort to voice independence, then in the
social field theosophy contributes to the efforts to save ancient literacy by storing it or translating it
so that it can be read later by future generations. The widija-poestaka organization (shaded by
theosophy) it was accommodated. In the field of education, the contribution made by theosophy is by
establishing several schools under the auspices of the NIATWUV organization. This is to help the
indigenous community escape from the chains of ignorance. So it can be concluded that the thesis
has a remarkable story in the history of Indonesia, not a few contributions made even though
forgotten, but traces can still be felt. |
