THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE FROM ISLAMIC FOUNDATIONS

Abstract

Science is basically very important in human life, therefore, humans are born and certainly during their lifetime will need knowledge that will be able to adapt to what will be faced later, both from the surrounding environment. Science is also something that can distinguish creatures that have been created by God. Among other things, humans and animals, now it is humans who distinguish themselves from animals. Humans are given more potential (reason) than other creatures who can easily acquire knowledge and can develop it.  Therefore, with the knowledge gained, humans will realize how important the role and function of science is in everyday life. In this life, knowledge becomes the most important capital that can save and prosper oneself, with human knowledge, humans can regulate, manage and utilize the natural resources that Allah has created to meet human primary needs. Therefore, humans are often referred to as people or caliphs on earth so that they can manage as well as possible for their own welfare.
