The Indonesian government’s obsession with the Western intellectual tradition in the national education system has become a cause of concerns among both local scholars and teaching practitioners. This raises at least four important questions: (1) Has the shift of orientation to educational philosophy taken place in the context of globalization?, (2) What have actually been the motives which trigger the shift?, (3) How can such motives be critically examined and problematized?, and (4) What strategies can be devised to counter possible impositions of ideological constructs implicated in the discourse of globalization in education? These inquiries are highly germane, and therefore needs to be addressed, for the current globalized world creates a “new world order”, which may eventually lead to ideological contestations and even clashes. To answer these inquiries with a greater depth, we need to borrow important constructs such as identity, hybridity, and culture, to name just a few, emanating from a revolutionary outlook that can help unmask ulterior agendas masqueraded under the notion of globalization in education.
