  • This paper discusses philosophical analysis of the role of the subject in Kuntowijoyo's transformative thinking, as a paradigmatic step to shape prophetic social transformation. This study employs historical-factual model of an individual thinker. At the same time, primary and secondary library data are analyzed and interpretated employing hermeneutics of Gadamer, then finding its historical compatibility, which is then reflected as a way of understanding diachronic history. The study discuss a significant role of the subject in the process of shaping historical consciousness that is a prerequisite for prophetic social transformation. Focusing on three essential components in Gadamer's dialectical hermeneutics, the subject in developing a prophetic epistemology that drives him/her in social transformation always works with his/her cultural context. A subject also broadcasts and conducts the fusion of the horizon (fusion horizon), ie, the horizon in each chapter of history and the horizons of other subjects. Therefore, starting from prophetic epistemology - which detects revelations (the Qur'an and Hadith) with human reason - the prophetic social transformation can be obtained.
