A Model of a Sharing Society based on the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aimed to (1) analyze the concepts and principles of the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy and the concept of a sharing society from a philosophical perspective, and (2) synthesize a model of a sharing society based on the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy. The study employed philosophical research methodologies, including Socratic dialectics, hermeneutic analysis, and reflexive analysis. The findings revealed that the two concepts were aligned in terms of development that emphasized balance and supportive social relationships, and could be integrated into a holistic conceptual framework. The synthesized model was characterized as a dynamic, process-oriented model grounded in the principles of moderation, reasonableness, and self-immunity, with “sharing” functioning as the central mechanism. The model consisted of four key components: (1) inner development, (2) collective learning, (3) participation, and (4) supportive relationships. These components were systematically interconnected and contributed to balanced development across economic, social, and mental dimensions. The new knowledge derived from this study was the formulation of a sharing society model based on the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy as a conceptual framework for sustainable social development.
