Epistemologi Psikologi Islam

Abstract

: The Epistemology of Islamic Psychology. One of the crucial issues faced by Islamic psychology is on epistemology. In this context, there exists dichotomy between epistemology founded by the learned Islamic scholars of the past with those of the present. According to the writer, the current Islamic psychology scholars are more inclined to the epistemology of liberal Western psychology that gives intellect and empirical sense priority. Thus, this article attempts to study Islamic psychology epistemology ideas established based on the revelation concerning the possibility of man to knowing, to know the reality and to self-knowing as the prerequisite for man before knowing the reality beyond the self. This, however, does not necessary mean denying the importance of intellect and the man\u27s empirical senses. Nonetheless, since the position of revelation reigns supreme and transcendentally absolute, the intellect and the man\u27s empirical senses as God-given should go along with the guidance and the truth of the revelation
