INTEGRASI ILMU-ILMU KEISLAMAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF M. AMIN ABDULLAH

Abstract

The Integration of Islamic Sciences in the Perspective of M. Amin Abdullah. Criticism on the pattern of Islamic sciences development in Indonesia, especially at the level of Islamic religious higher education, has caught the attension of many critiques. This essay tries to analytically describe M. Amin Abdullah’s thought who promotes the concept of Islamic sciences integration. The writer maintains that Islamic sciences thus far, have still fragmentary in nature and have not yet interconnected with contemporary issues. As such, it is required to build the epistemology of integrated and interconnected science. The writer finds that theo-anthropocentric-integralistic epistemology of science of Amin Abdullah is developed against the backdrop of classification of science. His theory departs from the Qur’an and Sunnah, ‘Ulûm al-Dîn, al-Fikr al-Islâmy, and Dirâsah al-Islâmiyyah. Those categories of Islamic sciences are drawn by Amin Abdullah into four-layered concept mapping of spider web. Such epistemology combines all disciplines of social and religious sciences vis a vis contemporary issues.
