Abstract
This article aims to examine Driyarkara's thoughts on education that humanizes humans, as well as its relevance in the context of Indonesian multicultural education. The education initiated by Driyarkara not only focuses on the intellectual aspect, but also on the formation of the moral and social character of students, with an emphasis on the values of humanism, solidarity, and love. This study uses a qualitative literature study method, which analyzes the literature related to Driyarkara's thought and the application of the concepts of hominization and humanization in education. The primary data sources used include books, journals, and scientific articles obtained from Google Scholar, while secondary sources include relevant literature on education in Indonesia and the challenges faced in a multicultural society. The results of the study show that Driyarkara's thinking on humanistic education is very relevant in overcoming social problems such as bullying, juvenile delinquency, and violence in schools. Through the concept of humanizing young people, Driyarkara emphasized the importance of education that not only forms intellectual intelligence, but also strengthens the moral character of students. In the face of globalization and industrialization of education, the application of human values in education in Indonesia is very important to create a young generation that is not only intelligent, but also moral and caring for others.
