KONSTRUKSI PEMIKIRAN ISLAM M. ARKOUN: KRITIK TERHADAP NALAR ISLAM DAN NALAR MODERN
Abstract: Arkoun finds even
secularist and reformist Muslims who are still
prisoners, in their
discourse of the
problematic thrown up by
the Modernity of
the Classical Age
(1800-1950), imposed by the so-called revolutionary civilized Europe
until at least 1950.
In order to
transcend this impasse,
Muslims must undertake a radical double critique: western Modernity and the
Islamic heritage, with the
aim of transcending both, instead
of just trying
to come to
terms with the
European modernity while still
prisoner to a
heritage that is uncritically re
appropriated. This article
shows that Arkoun interpret the
modernity that is
based on philosophical, more than
just a historical
or sociological sense.
Arkoun distinguish between "material" modernity and
"intellectual" or
"cultural"
modernity. The first
means that the
various advances that occurred in the outer frame of the human form, while the
latter includes the
methods, analytical tools,
and intellectual attitude that
gives the ability
to understand reality. There are
some important notes about the criticism of Islamic rationality, particularly
relating to religion and truth values
of Islam, and
the construction of
Islamic reasoning and modern
rationality. That the
reasoning required in meaning
a comprehensive understanding
of aspects of the
historical, socio-cultural, socio-political, and
religious. Included also to look at the textual and contextual
issues.
