Abstract
This paper explores the concept of logos in John 1:1 ontologically and epistemologically through the perspective of metaphysical philosophy. The concept of logos metaphysically generally emphasizes a principle that governs the cosmos. Logos from an ontological perspective is the fundamental thing that supports human existence. Logos epistemologically is a framework that expresses knowledge. Logos in John 1:1 has a meaning and concept that goes beyond that. John synthesizes logos to emphasize Jesus Christ, not just an abstract concept. John's synthesis of logos brings the concept and meaning of logos to be evolved. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, the author tries to explore the ontological and epistemological logos through the perspective of metaphysical philosophy and see it in John 1:1. Metaphysical philosophy's exploration of the ontological and epistemological logos enriches the meaning of logos in John 1:1, but John evaluates the exploration in the person of Jesus Christ.
Abstrak
Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi konsep logos dalam Yohanes 1:1 secara ontologis dan epistemologis melalui perspektif filsafat metafisik. Konsep logos secara metafisik pada umumnya menegaskan sebuah prinsip yang mengatur kosmos. Logos secara perspektif ontologis merupakan hal fundamental yang mendukung keberadaan manusia. Logos secara epistemologis merupakan kerangka yang menyatakan pengetahuan. Logos di dalam Yohanes 1:1 memiliki arti dan konsep yang melampui hal tersebut. Yohanes mensisntesiskan logos untuk menekankan Yesus Kristus, bukan hanya sekedar konsep abstrak. Sintesis logos yang dilakukan oleh Yohanes membawa konsep dan arti logos menjadi terelevasi. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, penulis mencoba melakukan eksplorasi ontologis dan epistemologis logos melalui perspektif filsafat metafisik dan melihatnya dalam Yohanes 1:1. Eksplorasi filsafat metafisik mengenai ontologis dan epistemologis logos memperkaya makna logos di dalam Yohan
