Solichin himself is known as an observer and promoter of the wayang philosophy. “This awarding proves UGM's commitment to developing Indonesian culture, community-based values, and Pancasila,” said Mukhtasar to reporters, Tuesday (15/12).

According to Mukhtasar, one of Solichin's contributions in education is transforming the world of wayang from performing arts to academic studies through wayang philosophy education. For faculty of philosophy UGM, he said, his contribution was significant in the development of a Systematic and Critical Wayang Philosophy which allowed Indonesian Philosophy to continue to develop dynamically. “He has also written many books, including wayang encyclopedia along with other authors,” he said.

From a cultural perspective, he added, Solichin was able to deliver wayang to earn UNESCO recognition as a Masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity.

Solichin, who is currently the Chairman of the Honorary Council of the Indonesian Wayang National Secretariat (Senawangi), will deliver a scientific speech entitled Memajukan Filsafat Wayang Sistematis dan Dunia Pewayangan di Indonesia (Eng:
