| Summary: | In assessing the significance and position of science in modern society in Malaysia
which has a majority Muslim population, this study intends to see the relationship
between Islam, science and modernity. The response towards modernity is viewed in
two dimensions, the social dimension that involves organization such as Akademi Sains
Islam Malaysia (ASASI), and the dimension of thought based on selected Muslim
thinkers. This thesis describes how Muslim thinkers response to the challenged posed by
modernity through the discourse of Islamic science and by using the arguments of
history and philosophy. The response of Muslim thinkers on modernity lead to the
epistemological dimension to understand, review, and analyze their thinking in order to
understand the complex relationship between Islam, science and modernity. In the
Malaysian context, the relationship between science, Islam and modernity in Islamic
science discourse involves changing attitude towards the more critical adoption for
modernity, then it expanded to a critique of science. Similarities and differences exist
between the critique of science by the Muslim thinkers and Western thinkers, which
includes criticizing or rejecting the image of modern science, but not completely
rejecting modernity. |
