Resumo: O artigo é um ensaio sobre como a atividade científica poderia ser influenciada por uma proposta ética voltada para a superação das desigualdades. A questão subjacente a este estudo tematiza a possível contraposição entre a ética, que parece ser inteiramente vinculada à liberdade humana e seus processos de escolha, e a lógica da pesquisa científica, que ainda, pelo menos em visão popular, parece se basear na posse de informações objetivas e na descoberta de leis de regulação da natureza. Será feita uma breve contextualização das aquisições teóricas sobre o sentido da ciência positiva dos últimos séculos, procurando extrair daí as indicações de uma estreita dependência dessa em relação às escolhas humanas, em virtude de sua metodologia dialética.   Palavras-Chave: Ciência positiva. Filosofia da ciência. Dialética. Ética.      Abstract: The article is an essay on how scientific activity could be influenced by an ethics proposal aimed at overcoming inequalities. The question underlying this study discusses the possible contrast between ethics, which seems to be entirely linked to human freedom and choice processes, and the logic of scientific research, which still, at least in a popular view, seems to be based on possession of objective information and discovery of regulatory laws of nature. Will be presented a brief background of theoretical acquisitions on the meaning of positive science of the last centuries, looking to extract the indications of a close dependence of this in relation to human choices, because your dialectic methodology.  Keywords: Positive Science.

Expected benefits of this study is to demonstrate the interconnectivity aspect, even unity between fragments in the general conception of Reason Arabic of Islam. The approach used is epistimologi approach (philosophy) associated with science, philosophy of science that concerns the structure which includes ontology, epistemology and axiology. Because the philosophy of science is in Arabic Arabic culture, it would require an additional approach that historical approach. The goal is to discover the fundamental structure of Arabic culture related to the philosophy of science. The conclusion of this study is the study of Islamic Epistemology ala al-Jabri is a paradigm combines Bayani, Irfani and Burhani, who developed dynamically based Rationalism-Burnani toward a future revival of the Islamic world.

The present article provides a substantiation of the need to use the potential of the philosophy of science in designing a sustainable development project. Along with mathematics and informatics, the philosophy of science is viewed as an auxiliary science designed to help clarify the conceptual and methodological nature of scientific theories. New provisions of science philosophy are presented. The proposition that all axiological theories culminate in ethics is proved. It is also substantiated that natural sciences demonstrate ethical relativity. The project, i.e. both the concept and conception (theory) of sustainable development was designed with no consideration of the achievements of science philosophy including scientific ethics. As the project developed its content became not clearer but, on the contrary, more obscured. The project of sustainable development is reevaluated in light of the philosophy of science. It turns out to be nothing more than a paraphrase of the need for the proper development of the ethical relativity of ecology and its place in the system of balanced scientific ethics. The project of sustainable development presents a paraphrase of certain scientific content that has to be properly addressed. Without this, it has no scientific meaning and should be attributed to the field of everyday language. Thus, the time to put the sustainable development project on a scientific track has come.

Broad Overview

Discussions dealing with natural science, philosophy and common sense are bound to draw on long-standing debates dealing with realism, methodology of science, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, epistemology, theories of meaning, and other topics. Instead of presenting a broad overview of these main trends, which will necessarily be superficial, I will do a kind of case study. The aim is to present just one particular debate which is of relevance to current research. The presentation is meant to give a taste of how these various long-standing debates are brought to bear on a specific issue. In this way, the very practice of engaging in a particular area of philosophy of science will serve as a platform from where the major areas can be seen in actual operation. The paper has four sections: the nature of ordinary talk; the ontological implications of this; the recently proposed account of the mental; an evaluation.

The Way

Among the contemporary philosophers using the concept of the Anthropocene, Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers are prominent examples. The way they use this concept, however, diverts from the most common understanding of the Anthropocene. In fact, their use of this notion is a continuation of their earlier work around the concept of a ‘parliament of things.’ Although mainly seen as a sociology or philosophy of science, their work can be read as philosophy of technology as well. Similar to Latour’s claim that science is Janus-headed, technology has two faces. Faced with the Anthropocene, we need to shift from technologies of control to technologies of negotiations, i.e., a parliament of things. What, however, does a ‘parliament of things’ mean? This paper wants to clarify what is conceptually at stake by framing Latour’s work within the philosophy of Michel Serres and Isabelle Stengers. Their philosophy implies a ‘postlinguistic turn,’ where one can ‘let things speak in their own name,’ without claiming knowledge of the thing in itself. The distinction between object and subject is abolished to go back to the world of ‘quasi-objects’ (Serres). Based on the philosophy of science of Latour and Stengers the possibility for a politics of quasi-objects or a ‘cosmopolitics’ (Stengers) is opened. It is in this framework that their use of the notion of the Anthropocene must be understood and a different view of technology can be conceptualized.

AbstractPhilosophy of Science plays an important role in laying the foundations of the scientific foundation. Science is a representation of the real meaning of reality, form, model, quantity, substance and essence of the soul is rational and calm. The Islamic Law sources is Al-Qur’an and Hadith laden with values and concepts to provide a guide of human life, as well as the instructions of science. This paper limits the questions about what factors are the basis of knowledge? How the Philosophy of Science in the perspective of Islamic Law ? Knowledge bases consisting of: reasoning, logic, knowledge resources, and the criterion of truth. Science in the perspective of the Qur'an can be divided into three types: First, knowledge acquisition, knowledge is the most special Allah (God) given to man. Second, science is built on the basis of sensory experience (empirical sensual). Third, the knowledge gained through revelation by the prophets and apostles. Science in the Islamic perspective on the intellectual (the conscience, the subjective sense), a direct ratio (objective sense) to the establishment of science based on consciousness and belief in Allah (God), because God is the absolute truth. Islam requires the truth as God is the true substance (al – Haq). Similarly, knowledge of Islam must be true because it meets the guidance of almighty Allah (God) really is. In order for science to be true then it must be derived from the knowledge of revelation (Al-Quran and Al-Hadith ). Therefore , to get closer to the truth, true knowledge is required.Keywords: Science, Philosophy of Science, Islamic Law Perspective. AbstrakFilsafat Ilmu memegang peranan penting sebagai peletak dasar-dasar pondasi keilmuan. Ilmu adalah representasi makna sesungguhnya dari realitas, bentuk, mode, kuantitas, substansi dan esensi sesuatu oleh jiwa yang rasional lagi tenang. Sumber Hukum Islam antara lain Al-Qur’an dan Hadits sarat dengan nilai-nilai dan konsep untuk memberikan tuntunan hidup manusia, begitu juga mengenai petunjuk ilmu pengetahuan. Tulisan ini membatasi pertanyaan faktor-faktor apa sajakah yang mendasari lahirnya pengetahuan? Apa saja objek kajian filsafat ilmu? Serta bagaimana Filsafat Ilmu  dalam  perspektif pemikiran Hukum Islam? Dasar-dasar pengetahuan terdiri dari: penalaran, logika, sumber pengetahuan, dan kriteria kebenaran. Ilmu dalam perspektif Al-Qur’an dibedakan menjadi tiga jenis: Pertama, ilmu perolehan, yaitu ilmu yang paling istimewa yang diberikan Allah (Tuhan) kepada manusia. Kedua, ilmu yang dibangun atas dasar pengalaman inderawi (empiris sensual). Ketiga, ilmu yang didapat melalui wahyu oleh para nabi dan rasul. Ilmu dalam perspektif Islam berdasarkan intelek (hati nurani, akal subjektif), yang mengarahkan rasio (akal objektif) kepada pembentukan ilmu yang berdasarkan pada kesadaran dan keimanan kepada Allah, karena kebenaran Allah adalah mutlak. Islam menghendaki kebenaran sebagaimana Allah adalah zat yang benar (al-Haq). Demikian pula ilmu dalam Islam harus benar karena memenuhi tuntunan Allah yang maha benar tersebut. Agar ilmu menjadi benar maka ilmu itu harus diderivasi dari wahyu (Al-Qur’an dan Al-Hadits). Oleh karena itu, untuk mendekatkan diri mengenal Allah diperlukan ilmu yang benar yang diperoleh antara lain melalui Al-Qur’an  dan Hadits. Pedoman pokok Hukum Islam berupa Al-Qur’an  dan Hadits  harus mampu menyatu dengan pedoman prinsip keadilan secara umum menurut pandangan manusia. Keadilan dalam Islam merupakan perpaduan harmonis antara hukum dengan moralitas, Islam tidak bertujuan untuk menghancurkan kebebasan individu, tetapi mengontrol kebebasan itu demi keselarasan dan harmonisasi masyarakat yang terdiri dari individu itu sendiri. Hukum Islam memiliki peran dalam mendamaikan kepentingan pribadi dengan kepentingan kolektif. Kata Kunci: Ilmu, Filsafat Ilmu, Perspektif  Hukum Islam.

Theory Ladenness

Although there are important areas of overlap, the problem of realism differs in the contexts of philosophy, science and literature. What is common to all three realms is the fact that the empiricist notion of objectivity is not tenable any more. The recognition of the theory ladenness of scientific observation and the commentary ladenness of interpretation in literature is in fundamental contrast with the older views of objectivity which have dominated the scene for such a long time. The notion of realism inherent in this older view of objectivity in which science, philosophy or literature somehow “mirrors” the world, has fundamentally been affected by the overthrow of the objectivist tradition through developments in philosophy of science and developments in metaphor theory in which the emphasis on “literal” descriptions of reality have made way for the recognition of the relative distinction between the literal and the metaphorical. Both science and literature have acknowledged the possibility of a potential plurality of possible interpretations of “reality”. This means that as many “realities” exist as interpretations of reality and of texts are possible. This has confronted both science and literature with the need for a fundamentally revised notion of “realism” and of truth and has posed the very real problem of the (im-)possibility of convergence toward truth, reality or the one and only “correct” interpretation.
