Paradigma Dan Revolusi Ilmu Pengetahuan Dalam Perspektif Pemikiran Thomas Khun

Abstract

Thomas Kuhn with his scientific revolution concept has the characteristics of a new
philosophical thought and model in terms of the history of the birth of science and the
philosophy of science and the role of the history of science in constructing or reconstructing the
emergence of new science. For Thomas Kuhn the history of science is a starting point in studying
fundamental problems in scientific epistemology because science is basically always marked by
the strength of the paradigm and the subsequent scientific revolution. This phase is what Thomas
Kuhn termed the historical phase of the birth of new science, starting with normal science, then
anomaly and crisis occurred, after which the scientific revolution emerged as a form of the birth
of new science. Thomas Kuhn's thoughts can be contextualized with the development of Islamic
scholarship with the aim of building openness of Islamic thought to anomalies and crises as well
as the emergence of a revolution in Islamic science so as to motivate the emergence of a new
paradigm in the scientific realm.
