Abstract

Tat Twam Asi values convey the values of equality, tolerance, social solidarity, social empathy, and others, thus if they are truly applied in the social life of the community, they will produce a harmonious society and a conducive social condition (social cohesion). The purpose of this research is our efforts to apply the values of Tat Twam Asi about equality, tolerance, social solidarity can be applied in everyday life so as to lead to a harmonious society and social system. This theory also supports a social constructivist perspective that includes an emphasis on a variety of local worlds, diverse realities, and complexities of particular worlds, views, and actions. Thereby, the high moral value of Tat Twam Asi should be the focus of public attention in social behavior and social interaction. Thus, the harmonious social ideals of society are not just empty ideals in the midst of an atmosphere of social life that is prone to friction between community groups and the individual community itself. So that the realization of a more egalitarian (civil society) society would be realized by the application and application of the Tat Twam Asi values in a serious, sustainable and consistent manner.
