Amin Abdullah might want to implement his paradigm in a middle crisis of knowledge dichotomy. That paradigm aims to experiment to reconcile the chaos between the two paradigms. He describes three entities has been relevant to the integration-interconnection paradigm. These are hadarah an-nash (the textual culture), hadarah al-falsafah (the philosophy culture) and hadarah al-ilm (the scientific culture). Dewi Masyitah dan her friends has demonstrated that Amin Abdullah’s idea is similar to Jabiry’s epistemology. We know Abid al-Jabiry (a Muslim thinker from Marocco) has divided Islamic epistemology into three entities too; Burhani (logical epistemology), Bayani (textual epistemology), and Irfani (mystic epistemology).
We may have to adopt or spread Amin Abdullah’s ideas in the final analysis. We needn’t regard the knowledge dichotomy as a simple problem. Because by the next century, the era will force us to have a piece of comprehensive knowledge. That is a reason why we must have a broad perspective. Therefore, integration-interconnection, which Amin Abdullah builds, is relevant. This paradigm doesn’t adopt a dichotomy; religious and non-religious knowledge have complemented each other. Some scholars have seen this paradigm as an alternative in the middle confronting two knowledge sections.
