Full textAbstract:
The author recalls Jesse Shera’s concept of a social epistemology. She discusses the need of its modification, referring to current works of social sciences, in particular enrichment of the original concept with an anthropological element, what is reasoned in an analysis of science as a “social good practice”. Discussion on social epistemology’s application in developing theoretical framework of information science is preceded by reflections on poor relations of qualified LIS research with library and information practice.

Philosophically, natural sciences as a building of knowledge can study ontology (what you want to know), epistemology (how to acquire knowledge), and axiology (what is the value of knowledge). Natural Science as a building of science has properties that are closely related to natural objects. The problems that occur with natural objects are holistic. This holistic problem requires problem-solving from various disciplines, especially in the natural sciences. Based on the scope of the research above, this article aims to investigate integrated natural science learning in a philosophical review (ontology, epistemology, axiology). The qualitative method is applied in this study. Studies conducted to solve problems based on a critical and in-depth analysis of pertinent library materials are known as library research. Overviews of ontology, epistemology, and axiology state that integrated natural science learning, students are expected to be able to relate to other disciplines such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, biology, technology, environment, and health and safety. This type of instruction uses natural science to present natural phenomena and events holistically and to develop students' problem-solving skills. The recommendation given is that teachers should tend to the interdisciplinary study of the natural sciences.

Full textAbstract:
The term “social epistemology” (SE) was first used by the library and information scientist Jesse Shera in 1951, but soon the term became muddled, and it did not become influential at that time. Later, it became known as the name for two different traditions outside library and information science, one led by Alvin Goldman and based on analytic philosophy, and the other led by Steve Fuller and related to science policy. It seems, however, problematic just to associate the term with these two schools, which, in different ways, are found not to represent genuine approaches to SE. SE is an alternative to individualist epistemologies and, as such, has roots back to Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Karl Marx, and Charles Peirce, among others. In the twentieth century, the concept became influential in the wake of Thomas Kuhn’s historicist view and in pragmatic, hermeneutic, critical, and feminist views (but mostly not by using the term SE). In these contexts, it represents an alternative to “positivism.”[1] Shera’s 1951 use of the term SE is found to represent the best vision for SE, although it could not be properly concretized before alternatives to positivism were developed in 1962.

 Abstrak
 Pemisahan Islam dan sains berakibat pada kemunduran peradaban umat Islam, di satu sisi, dan krisis eksistensial pada sisi yang lain. Integrasi keduanya dapat mengantarkan umat Islam pada prestasi peradaban sekaligus kesempurnaan moral. Upaya Integrasi Islam dan sains telah dimulai oleh para pemikir Muslim baik melalui dewesternisasi ilmu, Islamisasi ilmu, ilmuisasi Islam, dan lain sebagainya. Berbeda dengan tulisan serius para cendekiawan muslim tersebut, tulisan ini hanya akan berupaya mendeskripsikan integrasi bangunan epistemologis Islam dengan sains melalui library research berdasar pada data kepustakaan yang terkait. Fokus tulisan ini dibatasi pada masalah sebab keterpisahan umat Islam dengan sains dan bagaimana pola keselarasan espistemologi Islam dan sains. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan dua hal. Pertama, keterpisahan Islam dengan sains lebih dikarenakan aspek historis, sosiologis, politis dan bukan karena faktor sistem ajaran. Islam sebagai sebuah ajaran yang komprehensif tidak menempatkan “ilmu agama” dan “ilmu umum” dalam posisisi diametral-paradoksial. Kedua, pola keselarasan epistemologi Islam dan sains adalah kulli-juz’i (universal-partikular). Dengan kata lain, sains merupakan salah satu bagian dari ajaran Islam dalam satu keutuhan dan kesatuan sistem yang disebut sebagai way of life (jalan hidup).
 Kata Kunci: Islam, Sains, Epistemologi
 
 Abstract
 The separation of Islam and science resulted in the decline of Muslim civilization, on the one hand, and an existential crisis on the other. The integration of fatigue can lead Muslims to achievement as well as moral perfection. Efforts to integrate Islam and science have been initiated by Muslim thinkers through the dewesternization of science, the Islamization of science, the science of Islam, and others. In contrast to the serious writings of these Muslim scholars, this paper will only attempt to describe the integration of Islamic epistemological buildings with science through library research based on related library data. The focus of this paper is on the problem of the separation of Muslims from science and how the pattern of harmony between Islamic espistemology and science. This paper concludes two things. First, the separation of Islam and science is based more on historical, sociological, political aspects and not because of the teaching system factor. Islam as a teaching includes not placing "religious knowledge" and "general science" in a diametral-paradoxical position. Second, the pattern of harmony between Islamic and scientific epistemology is kulli-juz'i (universal-particular). In other words, science is a part of Islamic teachings in a whole and unified system known as a way of life.

The words science and religion have always been controversial positions, even in the world of education. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the epistemology of knowledge in Islamic and Western perspectives in the world of education. This research uses qualitative methods (library research), using data sources through articles and books. Based on the references that the researcher has read, the researcher found the result that epistemology has a very important role in the world of education, this is because epistemology is the mother of existing scientific findings. As for the epistemology of science from an Islamic perspective as explained by Al-Jabiri. According to Al-Jabiri, the epistemology of science is from an Islamic perspective, namely: 1) Bayani Epistemology 2) Burhan.

Knowledge is something that will never end throughout the span of life and there will always be updates along with the times. The development of this science cannot be separated from a person's way of thinking philosophically who is never satisfied with a result that has been found. So there will always be new discoveries to improve human knowledge. This research aims to examine in depth from a theoretical perspective the nature of science which includes ontology, epistemology and axiology. This type of research is library research where the data comes from various literature, books, notes, articles, journals and other references relevant to ontology, epistemology and axiology. Data is analyzed through the stages of collection, exploration, classification, processing and interpretation which are contained and described in descriptive form. The results of this research show that ontology is the main stage in giving birth to a science, namely discussing everything that exists which is identical to the question. Epistemolgy is the second stage which contains search activities to find answers to the object you want to research. Axiology focuses more on the usefulness of the results of the studies being researched. So it can be understood that ontology, epistemology and axiology are three aspects that cannot be separated and are interconnected in understanding a science.

Full textAbstract:
The article dwells on the origins of the concept of artificial intelligence as applied to the library with its principles of fast search. The integrity of such knowledge, corresponding to the integrity of the products of neural networks, is characterized. The history of science has seen not only the management of discoveries, but also the operation of such specific production, manifested vividly in the activities of women mathematicians and women philosophers. They are operators rather than inventors of networks, who integrate networks and ensure that different epistemic regimes can be integrated. In this paper, the historical outline of the emergence of the library as a model of artificial intelligence is discussed. The ancient regulations of Aristotle and the Library of Alexandria stipulated a purely alphabetical rather than thematic ordering principle; at that time, the production of knowledge required visual aids, integral formulae, and the decomposition of knowledge into indications of sources without remainder. An ideal operator of such a library was Hypatia of Alexandria. Further development of libraries involved the production of corporate, religious, and national knowledge, unlocked by new operators through returning universal meaning to the visual representation of knowledge. Currently, such universal visual representation is characteristic of images generated by artificial intelligence. Knowledge production modes require functions of both direct producers and recipients of knowledge. The development of sciences during different periods has made it necessary to encompass the knowable as well as to recognize its agency and ability to become ready for use. We see the origins of such agency in primitive initiation and view the library as a mechanism of potential initiation. In that case, we need not only knowledge distributors that make potential initiation real, but also knowledge operators that make it possible to move from harsher to softer modes of initiation. The article points out the traits that an individual acting as a reliable operator of such knowledge can have. Recognizing the agency of libraries allows us to plan the use of neural networks, including for countering fake news.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore an approach to epistemology which allows a portion of library and information science (LIS) to coherently explain its social and intellectual contributions, and to overcome some of the problems of epistemology that LIS encounters. Design/methodology/approach Literature based conceptual analysis of the problems of epistemology in LIS and the productive approach of Deweyan Pragmatism. Findings LIS’ problems with epistemology come from a variety of sources: epistemology itself, the combining of librarianship with information science, and the search for a common grounding of the information professions, their tools and their institutions. No such theoretical foundation is possible, but Deweyan Pragmatism offers a sensible, practical explanation for the historical development and practices of librarianship. Originality/value Pragmatism has been deployed in portions of LIS, but the full implications and the “fit” of Dewey’s ideas for librarianship and its epistemology are productive explorations.

The demand for the truth that occurs between the epistemology of normative legal science and the epistemology of the sociology of law in Indonesia does not develop positively or can be said to have stagnated. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the epistemology of fiqh from other discourses, such as those contained in a natural law based on religious revelations that touch on the substantial aspects of human spiritual, moral values as God's creatures. The basis for using epistemology of science-based on disclosure is by the times that are experiencing a multi-dimensional crisis due to the wrong way of thinking of humans themselves because they have ignored God's role in regulating human life. This research is library research (library research). Based on the theories and concepts used, the primary data source is a literature study that discusses the idea and image of the convergence of fiqh epistemology from Khudzaifah Dimyati on Thinking & theorizing fiqh. In the holy book and the values of religious teachings. The value of the truth is not only recognized by rational logic and empirical reality but can also be recognized correctly and eternally. As in the prophetic direction, the epistemology of God-based revelation law has dimensions of humanization, liberation, and tridentidity that can guide and guide humans to achieve a better and essential life.

Purpose of the study: This article aims to formulate (1) epistemology jurisprudence has the positivistic level, (2) jurisprudence epistemology has transcendental paradigm, and (3) epistemology of the development of prophetic jurisprudence. Methodology: This research uses library research by conducting research and data analysis and then they use it using knowledge, especially jurisprudence with transcendental values. Main Findings: The base of epistemological positivistic jurisprudence that is objective, empirical and rational which are supported by systematic, procedural and formal models result in its development has lost essential elements, namely spiritual values, so that modern society has a crisis in defining the meaning of life in the world. Applications of this study: The base of transcendental legal science understands people and their life in an intact form (holistic), not merely material nature but also their souls. The development of the prophetic law is intended as a guidance for human life to achieve happiness in the world and in the hereafter, because the prophetic law can not be fragmented between the physical body (formal) and transcendental values. Novelty/Originality of this study: The paradigm of the transcendental epistemology of legal science emphasizes in the integration approaches between sciences and values in various views

Full textAbstract:
Among the countless research possibilities in the field of Information Science (IS), the historical-conceptual approach is relevant when we observe intents of systematization and theoretical deepening of this analytical sphere with markedly epistemological concerns. Taking into consideration this research universe, it was observed that the concept document has a privileged position in the “protective belt” of the “scientific research program” of Imre Lakatos adapted to IS by Miguel Rendón Rojas. However, it was seen repeatedly that the document was approached inaccurately in the field of IS, mainly when conceptual aspects related one moment by tradition, and the next by innovation were not counterbalanced. Bearing in mind the objective of the study and the identified problematics, we resorted to the disciplines of History, Diplomatics and Documentation as they were relevant to a historical and conceptual approach, precisely for having studied the document prior to IS. The research of these disciplines was justified by the hypotheses that they have influenced and/or contributed to the meaning of document while a category in the theoretical universe of IS. Based on this conjecture, the following objectives arose: a) to carry out a historical and conceptual study to learn to what extent the analyzed disciplines have contributed for the meaning of document in IS; and b) to understand the nature and the range of the concept in IS when seen under a social perspective that contemplated the dynamic relationship between tradition and innovation in its theoretical framework. Therefore, tradition and innovation are considered as antithetical categories of analysis inspired on those that make up Historik by Reinhart Koselleck and that represent respectively “reality rates” and “perspectives of the future” of the concept document, if seen, above all, from the point of view of the method of history of concepts created by the above mentioned author. In this sense, we tried to relate the history of concepts while an analysis method to the historical-conceptual studies of IS. The use of such categories, under the mentioned method, was relevant for making noticeable the historical change of the scientific concepts analyzed based on the premise that the diachrony is included in their use and concurrent formulation and that it reflects on the inherent valorative process of the disciplinary context of IS. Thus, we tried initially to analyze theoretical-contextual aspects in the historiographical field where the concept document appeared under tension between two streams – the “Positivist History” and the Annales movement. Secondly, we tried to relate such aspects to the meaning of document in the disciplines Diplomatics and Documentation which equally expressed conceptually the dynamics between tradition and innovation. Finally, the “hidden face” of the concept in the condition of a category in the “research program” of IS was disclosed. It was argued that the historical-conceptual resource was vital for such enunciation to be justified. With such approach, essential aspects that helped to retrace tradition and innovation in the disciplinary context of IS were reached. Among them the following stood out: a) theoretical approach between information and document (objective, subjective and social perspectives); b) focus on the subject/object relationship (objectivist or subjectivist); c) nature of the object/register (natural, artificial, textual, etc.); d) categories to identify the phase object/document (uniqueness, virtuality and meaning); and e) nature of the producer of the document.

Full textAbstract:
This text has as its basic purpose, from plural perspectives, approach the phenomenon of information. The philosophy of information is, in fact, a proposal that calls for interdisciplinarity, as it believes that each perspective can shed light on certain aspects partial. My perspective seeks to respect the plurality, diversity and the lability of the processes that make up the informative reality (as that consider in its conceptual handling the complexity of this reality), addressing some of its most important aspects for the study of the librarianship.
As primary approach is intended to enact in this paper that the philosophy of information should replace social epistemology as the discipline that substantiates the library. The hypothesis which it maintains that social epistemology has not been able to provide philosophical and theoretical library science, therefore, the philosophy of information should replace in that role fundamental. They have also been carefully scrutinized those attempts that have emerged within the library, with more or less success, to find alternatives on the basis of their theoretical body, which in the case of the philosophy of information can become fruitful. Some of these alternatives are seeking an approach more broadly shows the combination of processes of knowledge in the sciences and its convergence with the technological approach.
The second objective a detailed explanation to answer the question of whether the library science is a "philosophy of information applied" under the understanding that a philosophy applied is not the same be presented to a pragmatic philosophy much less a theoretic. The argument is that under the Aristotelian scheme, the librarian do not operate on propositional knowledge or sensory, but praxis, or rather poiesis, so the librarian would be a homo poieticus. Accept that that librarianship is a philosophy of information applied involves demonstrating that the establishment of the philosophy of information as a fundamental discipline of library science, contribute to the achievement of the constitution as a science, and change the framework of social research to technological.

AbstractAstrophysics is often cast as an observational science, devoid of traditional experiments, along with astronomy and cosmology. Yet, a thriving field of experimental research exists called laboratory astrophysics. How should we make sense of this apparent tension? I argue that approaching the epistemology of astrophysics by attending to the production of empirical data and the aims of the research better illuminates both the successes and challenges of empirical research in astrophysics than evaluating the epistemology of astrophysics according to the presence or absence of experiments.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the research process and indigenous epistemologies, specifically, what is involved in conducting research using indigenous epistemology. The dictionary definition of epistemology is that it is a philosophical theory of knowledge that studies the nature and what constitutes knowledge. In this chapter, indigenous epistemology is contrasted with other epistemologies, as an epistemology that seeks to advance the voices of “indigenous” people, or the marginalized. The contention is that dominant epistemologies have downplayed the role and importance of indigenous knowledge in research. Such epistemologies have not given voice to the researched communities yet purport to have an understanding of their social worlds. This chapter therefore places indigenous epistemology at the fore for carrying out research with rather than on communities and using indigenous knowledge to theorize research and inform the theories and constructs used in the conduct of research.

According to all we know about human civilisation, different cultures started reflecting on the nature of knowledge and truth about 2500 years ago. This knowledge of knowledge, or epistemology, is one of the major disciplines in academic philosophy. It is a central part of philosophy of science and science theory. Entire library shelves are filled with elaborations on this topic. Admittedly, it is not necessary for a scientist to study and know all this theory. Yet, a bit of it – the quintessential conclusion, perhaps – will surely make the chemical scientist and researcher a better practitioner. Therefore, this chapter attempts to introduce epistemology in a nutshell: what is knowledge, truth and meaning, what is science able to contribute, and when should the chemist be aware of limits and pitfalls of scientific knowledge? The practical relevance for the conduct of chemical science and its application in industry and innovation shall guide a short tour through this complex topic. It is not a co-incidence or stylistic choice that the key themes below are questions. It is notoriously difficult to settle epistemological debates with definite answers. It may be unsatisfying for chemists, but this chapter's main goal is to raise awareness of questions that challenge beloved convictions and comfort zones. The result is more careful practice in scientific inquiry, and a reasonable balance between epistemic humbleness and confidence, that means knowing the strengths and limits of scientific knowledge.

A postmodern interference between bioethics, epistemology, and philosophy of science arises from the field of ethics of research on human subjects. Being a research with a high level of subjectivity, it will also load the researcher with the responsibility towards the social meaning of the results, the correctness of using the methodology, honesty, presenting the limits of research, including the epistemic and methodological ones, as well as the needs of the subjects participating in the investigation. The ethics of research is based on a series of principles, of which the most significant are the honesty of obtaining and presenting results, the non-harm of human subjects, the respect for the autonomy of the subjects, and the principle of beneficence.

Knowledge management (KM) creates value and competitive advantage via innovation. Library and information science (LIS) developed KM using social epistemology and varied scientific methods. LIS continued to study KM to guarantee its understanding and usage in the organization. KM attitudes and actions must also be agreed upon. This chapter discusses the LIS viewpoint on KM and delivers the fundamental point, which implies that LIS may advance knowledge management. Thus, readers should ask questions about LIS and all of the preceding advances, especially KM. The perception of data, information, and knowledge especially has changed significantly. LIS perspective should be dynamic, and librarianship has individuality and dignity with knowledge managing tradition. LIS and Librarianship roles, especially KM, may help drive these new advancements. Instead of only watching or ignoring improvements, active engagement and additional research are expected to raise LIS roles on KM.
