Deskripsi
The Cosmic Mind: Sacred Power, Strategic Territory, and National Defense in Indonesia by Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad asks a radical question: what if national defense is built not only by weapons and institutions, but by the deepest cosmological beliefs through which a people understand reality itself?
Bridging anthropology, philosophy, security studies, and indigenous knowledge, this groundbreaking work challenges the materialist paradigm of modern security thinking. It argues that cosmology — how a society understands the universe, power, and human existence — plays a foundational role in shaping collective identity, territorial consciousness, and national resilience.
Through a deep comparative study of Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese cosmological systems, the book reveals how spiritual metaphysics, sacred geography, and ancestral narratives have historically shaped political authority, social organization, and the strategic imagination of the archipelago.
