Description
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. Kata kunci: Epistemologi; Islam; ilmu pengetahuan; Integrasi-interkoneksi.
