Abstract

Education today faces a humanitarian crisis caused by an excessive focus on cognitive achievement while neglecting affective and spiritual dimensions. This condition urges a re-examination of educational epistemology toward a more humanistic and transcendental foundation. This study aims to explore the concept of “love as the epistemology of education” through a library research approach to construct the theoretical basis for a Love-Based Curriculum (LBC). Data were collected from philosophical and pedagogical works by scholars such as Nel Noddings, Syed M. Naquib al-Attas, and Parker J. Palmer. The findings reveal that love can serve as an epistemological foundation for developing a curriculum that harmonizes reason, morality, and spirituality. Love is not merely a moral value but also a way of knowing that nurtures empathy, responsibility, and human awareness. The LBC presents a new paradigm relevant to the challenges of modern and digital education, where technological advancement often distances humans from compassion and moral values. This study contributes to enriching the philosophical discourse of education and offers a conceptual framework for building an education system grounded in love, care, and universal humanity.
