PENGEMBANGAN SAINS DALAM TRADISI INTELEKTUAL ISLAM: PERSPEKTIF PRAGMATISME PEIRCE

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the progress of science in the Islamic intellectual tradition, especially in the realm of kalam and philosophy with the framework of Charles Peirce's Pragmatism. Changes in the logic of thinking in contemporary philosophy brought about by pragmatism requires a dynamic relationship between belief and doubt to encourage the logic of inquiry. This study is a literature study using the framework of pragmatism in highlighting the development of the intellectual tradition of kalam and philosophy in Islam. With this framework in mind, this study shows that the Islamic intellectual tradition also brings the spirit of progress of science in pragmatism framework. Doubts that arise from various statements that arise encourage Muslim scientists to criticize and conduct further research so as to make scientific contributions to Islamic scholarship. Various models of scientific development ranging from positivistic styles, falsification, knowledge revolution, to scientific research program methods provide discourses in the development of Islamic scholarship, both in the realm of kalam and Islamic philosophy so that they can be in line with the needs of the times.
