INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI FILSAFAT STOIKISME DALAM PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTERMAHASISWADIERADIGITAL

Abstract

The development of digital technology has created new challenges for university students, particularly regarding self-control, academic discipline, emotional stability, social comparison, fear of missing out, and the search for external validation. This study aims to analyze the internalization of Stoic philosophical values in shaping students' character in the digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a library research method, data were drawn from classical Stoic works, contemporary studies on character education and digital well-being, and supporting perspectives from Islamic philosophy concerning ethics, self-discipline, and happiness. Data were analyzed through content analysis by identifying, classifying, and interpreting relevant concepts. The findings show that Stoic values-including self-mastery, wisdom, resilience, discipline, and the ability to distinguish between what is within and beyond one's control-are relevant to strengthening students' character amid digital pressures. These values help students manage digital distractions, respond wisely to social comparison, reduce dependence on external validation, and develop moral responsibility in digital spaces. Islamic philosophy further strengthens this discussion by emphasizing moral habituation, purification of the soul, and meaningful happiness. Stoicism can therefore be understood as a philosophical approach that supports the formation of reflective, disciplined, resilient, and responsible students in the digital era.
