Urgensi Filsafat Islam dalam Kurikulum PTAI

Abstract

This paper discusses the urgency of Islamic philosophy in the curriculum of
Islamic colleges in Indonesia. The critical description of this paper is the positivist
paradigm. This then makes humans eliminate bases of theological philosophical
thought (especially Islam). Islamic education in Indonesia, in this case PTAI,
instead of using the philosophy of Islam, chose to use western philosophy as
a center of excellence. Islamic philosophy itself arises from the translation
of philosophical works on a large scale during the Abbasid Caliphate. In its
development, Islamic philosophy has gone up and down. The most phenomenal in
tidal Islamic philosophy is the attack of al-Ghazali and Ibn Rushd counterattack.
The philosophy of Islam in Indonesia is still quite young. However, the reasons
are not necessarily used as an argument that Islamic philosophy is not good
enough to be the basis of scientific colleges. Research, development, publication of
Islamic philosophy are continuously done to enrich the discourse. In the context
of higher education, there is now an offer to integrate and connect “commonâ€
secular philosophy (Islam) and al-Qur’an traditions. Thus, the dichotomy of
western-Islam, secularity knowledge and neglect of religion and philosophy can
be resolved.
