2.2. Discussion of Book

 BOOK I
CHAPTER I
The first part of this Philosophy is a book about the scope of the philosophy of
science. In this book it is written that philosophy and science are the two words that
separate but inter-related. Philosophy as a process of systematic thinking and radical
who has the material and formal object. Its material object is all that good looking or
not looking. Science also has two objects that is the object of formal objects and
material. That’s material is a real natural object such as a human being for medical
science, Planetary Sciences in astronomy. Whereas the object of the form is a method
for understanding the material object. One of the sub-sections of this section is a
description of the knowledge, understanding the similarities and differences between
philosophy and science. OLE writer explained that science is part of the knowledge.
Science is the knowledge that systemic and measurable as well as what need the truth.
While knowledge is information that is in the form of common sense who has not
systematically arranged and the philosophy of science is a study in depth about the

5
basics of the philosophy of science so that science needs to answer the question of
ontologies (object of study).

CHAPTER II
The second part of the book is a natural discus on the history of the development
of science. In this section explained the history of the development of science that
started since the events of Slander Al-Kubra. Progress of the in dynasty period,
culminating the Umayyad’s and Abbasids Dynasty. But the triumph of Islam over and
collapsed due to the setbacks caused Iqbal received understand Greece.

CHAPTER III
The third part in this book describes the knowledge and truth. There are many
definitions of natural stated the book is but one of them are stating a knowledge is the
truth. In theory, the nature of knowledge can be obtained from two panangan namely
the views of realism and idealism. Knowledge according to the view of realism is a
picture or a copy of that nature exists in real music, meaning that knowledge is true
and proper if corresponds to real, while the tenets of idealism asserted that knowledge
which is really in accordance with the reality is impossible. Knowledge is a mental
process of subjective nature.

CHAPTER IV
The fourth part of this book discusses the basics of the science that is divided into
three ontologies, namely a part, and axiology. In the ontology is the study of the
nature of existing physical or spiritual. In epistemology is the branch of philosophy
dealing with the nature and science, presuppositions, their fundamentals and liability
above statement regarding knowledge. Knowledge gained through the human
intellect, the senses and others. Akasiologi in this book can be used in the presence of
errors in epistemology. Axiology has many definitions, one of whom moral conduct
Allah, esthetical expression and socio-political life.

CHAPTER V
The fifth part of the book discusses the scientific means in. Language,
mathematics and statistics as well as logic is a means for the development of science.
Mathematics is a language which symbolizes the series meaning of a series of

6
statements that would like delivered. While this book defines statistics as a set of
methods for making a wise decision in uncertain circumstances. Other means is logic.
Logic is a means of thinking systematic, valid and defensible. In this book also
mentions there are seven rules of thinking correctly, namely: know of truth, loving
what he does, be aware of what is being said, can difference the same thing but are
not identical, the exact definition of love, realize why make such conclusions and able
to avoid and identify errors of thought.

CHAPTER VI
The last section in this book is about the challenges and future of the science that
is divided into two parts. The 1st is develop Science and humanitarian crisis. The
progress of science and technology which was originally aimed at facilitating the
work of man, but in fact the technology even has provoked disquiet and fear for new
man life. Technologies that are currently afflicting humankind now like people who
like living beside a chicken coop, many excitedly she did not realize that technology
makes him increasingly marginalized from a fundamental requirement. The next issue
is the humanitarian crisis arising from the ideological trends, an idea that is not intact.
The second part is the religion, science and the future of mankind. Religion and
science in some ways different, but on certain sides have in common. More put
forward religious morality and keep the tradition already established.

is divided into the philosophy of the natural sciences and philosophy of social science. This
restriction is only for each field that discus is not mean to distinguish between natural
sciences and social sciences.

perspective of time and place), psychology (the study of mental processes and human
behaviour), economic (the study of man in his life), sociology (studying the structure of
human social organization), and political science (the study of systems and processes of

knowledge, scientific methods, and the structure of scientific knowledge. Knowledge on the
fact of the matter is all what we know about a particular object, including them is a science,
so science is part of knowledge is known by man in addition to various other art and
knowledge religion. Each type of knowledge have specific traits about what (ontology), how
(epistemology), and for what (axiology) knowledge was compiled. And that such knowledge
can be a science then it should be done first thing the scientific method.

scientific thinking, language, mathematics, and statistics. Human beings in developing
knowledge need also a tools. To conduct scientific activities are either needed a means of

2.3. Advantages and Disadvantages

 Advantages

1. The first book of philosophy, explains a lot about the science of philosophy but, in the
second book, does not only provide theoretical explanations but is also accompanied
by parables that make it easier for readers to understand the contents of this book.

2. The first book has a clear and detailed explanation, accompanied by an example so
that the reader can easily understand the explanation in the book, and the second book
is not only in the form of neatly lined writings but there are animated images that
make the reader not feel bored when read.

3. This first book discusses the history of the development of science, objects, methods
and objectives of science, and the nature of the source of knowledge and truth criteria.
However, in the second book, the author includes research guidelines and scientific
writing procedures that are very useful for the reader.

 Disadvantages

1. The first book has a deficiency of lack of pictures in the book, to make readers less
interested.

2. In the second book, many using foreign words that became the obstacle of
understanding for the reader to better understand its contents

3. There is no special sense against foreign words, so for readers who lack understanding
of philosophy will be more difficult to understand the content of the book.

errors of thought.

3.2 Suggestion

I recommend the book the philosophy of Science (book I) this allowed to be read by
adults and not to children because it is not possible to be understood by children. In addition,
I also recommend the book II to the students, especially freshmen, so during my studies at the
level of the courses is not confused with scientific investments position in college.
