Pendekatan Transdisipliner dalam Integrasi Keilmuan dan Aplikasinya

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relevance of Basarab Nicolescu’s transdisciplinary approach to the development of Islamic scientific integration and its application in Islamic higher education. The approach seeks to bridge the dichotomy between religious and secular sciences by emphasizing the unity of reality, the logic of the included middle, and the complexity of knowledge. This research employs a qualitative method with a transdisciplinary philosophical design through library research and hermeneutical analysis of the works of Nicolescu and M. Amin Abdullah. The findings reveal that the three core principles of Nicolescu’s theory—Levels of Reality, Logic of the Included Middle, and Complexity and Unity of Knowledge—are epistemologically compatible with the Islamic scientific paradigm grounded in tawhid. The synthesis between Nicolescu’s framework and Amin Abdullah’s Integration-Interconnection concept results in a new conceptual model termed the Transdisciplinary Scientific Integration Model (IKT-Model). This model integrates epistemological, methodological, and axiological dimensions to construct a holistic, dialogical, and value-oriented system of knowledge. The study concludes that the transdisciplinary approach offers a strategic paradigm for reconstructing the philosophy of Islamic science in the modern era while providing practical guidance for curriculum design, research development, and the cultivation of an integrative academic culture in Islamic higher education.
