Abstract
This article discuss self-esteem, one of the Javanese attitude. Dignity or self- esteem for the Javanese is part of the humanist character. Self-esteem is related to humanity (kamanungsan), namely the attitude of the self that prioritizes human behavior in treating others. Anthropologically, the Javanese self-esteem can be seen from the concept of local knowledge, which is a form of local knowl- edge that comes from daily life that is still growing in Java. The Javanese emic concept of self-esteem can be transformed into a value of wisdom and the spiri- tual insight on the present, when there is a stagnation in the application of general knowledge that has been dominated by Western values.
