The advent of Islam in the XIII and XIV century that provides the configuration values on indigenous Indonesian culture and Indian culture (acculturation). In Islamic culture dominated by religion of Islam, surely the position of the value of religion or holiness is very high. Here designated, that god is real character and very abstract monotheism. God has the highest position while under the same god of all mankind alone, so very different from the level of caste in Hinduism. Religion Islam is argued strongly emphasized human reason and the meaning of the science of nature.
Unlike the previous two cultures, religion is also strongly emphasized the economic value. In terms of art, religion of Islam because of lack of desire to paint and sculpting the human because God was so special, quite different from the previous two cultures. The position of art as a tool is lacking in the Islamic religion. Aside from science, religion of Islam strongly recommends the economy. But the culture of Islam which came to Indonesia is different from Islamic culture in the era heyday in Baghdad, Cairo or in Cordoba in the century VIII, IX, X, and XII.
When it can be said of Islamic culture holds beacons science. All the knowledge contained in the time it was collected with translation and be expanded too rapidly. Islam in Indonesia is not to collect and develop such knowledge at the time of his greatness in the Middle East and Spain. If we draw a diagram of the nature of cultural values of Islam are as follows:
In fact in Indonesia, the development of science in Islamic cultures is limited, as well as economic progress especially if we compare it with the development of science and economics in European culture since the Renaissance that began in the century XVII, XVIII and XIX and XX particularly highly developed and controlled the whole world. In fact the diagram the values of Islamic culture in Indonesia is as follows:
Thus the three successive cultures that come to each other mixed in Indonesia could be said culture dominated by religious values. As the value of art controlled by the imagination, intuition and feeling. The value of religion is controlled awareness that everything contained in this world is the incarnation of holiness, God incarnate, or God Almighty which is essentially invisible, no man can know with their minds.
Culture dominated by religion and often also art and that often use imagination, intuition and feeling called expressive culture. Instead of expressive culture is progressive culture that is controlled by the knowledge obtained by rational sense of the real world that can be captured with the five senses. In its most thorough knowledge of mathematics was formulated with the abstract and is called science.
With his knowledge of human may know the law and the possibilities of nature. On the basis of his knowledge of law and the possibilities of human nature that it can be grown on a technology he uses in the economy that are taking utility or usefulness of nature as much as possible for the benefit of man.
