Summary: | The relation between religion and science seems to be the dichotomous view. Both
of them are like oil and water, two entities that cannot be reunited and separated. Due to “this
dispute”, science often misses their ethics, so science and modern technology have actually
humanized humans and distanced them from their nature. The conflict between them forces
many intellectual Muslims to make “epistemology bridge” for reconciling science and religion.
One of them is M. Amin Abdullah, who argues with the concept of integration-interconnection
which is the effort to avoid the dichotomous view of the science and religion (especially
Islam-science) and in the epistemology view, the concept is to close back all disciplines so there
are dialogues, communications, relationships, and mutual help. This article aims to discuss
the epistemology thought of M. Amin Abdullah concerning on integration-interconnection
with its methodology and relevance for the scientific development of higher education in Indonesia.
Keywords: Epistemology; Islam; science; Integration-interconnection.
Abstrak: Hubungan antara agama dan ilmu pengetahuan tampaknya menjadi pandangan
dikotomis. Keduanya ibarat minyak dan air, dua entitas yang tidak bisa bersatu kembali dan
dipisahkan. Karena “sengketa ini” ilmu pengetahuan mencoba merangkul konsep-konsep agama
dan etika agar ilmu pengetahuan-teknologi memiliki nuansa yang manusiawi. Konflik
antara keduanya memaksa kaum Muslim intelektual membuat “jembatan epistemologi” untuk
mendamaikan sains dan agama. Salah satunya adalah M. Amin Abdullah, yang berpendapat
bahwa konsep integrasi-interkoneksi yang merupakan upaya untuk menghindari pandangan
dikotomis dari ilmu dan agama (khususnya Islam-ilmu) dan dalam pandangan epistemologi,
konsep ini mencoba menawarkan kembali semua disiplin ilmu sehingga ada dialogisasi, komunikasi,
sinergitas, dan hubungan saling membantu. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas
epistemologi pemikiran M. Amin Abdullah berkenaan konsep integrasi-interkoneksi dengan
metodologi dan relevansinya bagi pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia.
