Konsep Falsafah Kesatuan Ilmu Dalam Visi Universitas Islam Negeri
Keywords:
philosophy of science, Unity of Sciences, knowledge integrationAbstract
This article aims to examine the concept of the philosophy of the unity of sciences (Unity of Sciences) within the vision of the State Islamic University (UIN) Walisongo Semarang. This study is motivated by a social phenomenon in which modern scientific knowledge tends to be fragmented and detached from moral and spiritual values, resulting in a dichotomy between religious and general sciences. Such conditions highlight the importance of integrating knowledge based on Islamic values in Islamic higher education. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were obtained from secondary sources, including academic books, national and international journal articles, and official institutional documents relevant to philosophy, philosophy of science, and the unity of sciences paradigm. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive-analytical techniques with the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that the Unity of Sciences paradigm serves as a philosophical foundation that integrates Islamic sciences, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences into a unified framework grounded in Islamic values. The study concludes that strengthening the philosophical foundation of the Unity of Sciences is essential to ensure substantive and sustainable knowledge integration in Islamic higher education.
