Al-Attas is one of the figures whose ideas continue to be the current discussion and reference in highlighting Islam as a worldview in this contemporary time. Broadly speaking, the underlying thought of al-Attas is about the condition of the decline of Muslims in various living systems, especially in the educational sector and the development of science. In his works, al-Attas is generally focus on the idea of restoring the value of Islam as a worldview (re-actualization of Islamic teachings), carrying the independence of Islam from the dependency on the  Western civilization (westernization) and from the idea of de-secularization. This is an effort to integrate Islamic science and restore the harmony between Islam and science.  Therefore, al-Attas offers several renewal concepts such as: First, the Islamization of science, that is the process of deconstruction of Western science and then reconstruct into the Islamic knowledge system. Second, the concept of Islamic education that aims to create a perfect human being, a person who is aware of their individuality and relationship with God, society, and nature. Both are the embodiments of the re-actualization of the rise of Islamic civilization.Abstrak: Al-Attas adalah salah satu tokoh yang pemikirannya terus menjadi perbincangan dan acuan dalam menyoroti Islam sebagai pandangan dunia di era kontemporer ini. Secara garis besar, yang melandasi pemikiran al-Attas adalah situasi kemunduran umat Islam dalam berbagai sistem kehidupan, terutama dalam dunia pendidikan dan perkembangan ilmu  pengetahuan. Maka dari itu, memang dalam karya-karyanya, al-Attas secara umum memfokuskan pemikirannya dalam mengembalikan nilai Islam sebagai pandangan dunia (reaktualisasi ajaran Islam), mengusung kemandirian Islam dari jeratan peradaban Barat (dewesternisasi) dan gagasan desekularisasi, suatu upaya mengintegrasikan ilmu-ilmu keislaman, mengembalikan keharmonisan antara agama (Islam) dengan sains. Untuk itu, al-Attas menawarkan beberapa konsep pembaharuan, seperti islamisasi ilmu yang merupakan proses dekonstruksi terhadap ilmu pengetahuan Barat untuk kemudian direkonstruksi ke dalam sistem pengetahuan Islam, dan konsep pendidikan Islam yang bertujuan menciptakan manusia paripurna, yaitu manusia yang sadar akan individualitasnya dan hubungannya yang tepat dengan Tuhan, masyarakat, dan alam. Keduanya adalah perwujudan dari reaktualisasi kebangkitan peradaban Islam.

This abstract contains aboutthe Islamic concept of science according to al-Attas that the biggest challenge facing Muslims isthe challenge of knowledge spread throughout the Islamic world by Western civilization.Islamization of knowledge means Islamizing or purifying Western product science which has been developed and used as a reference in the development discourseIslamic education system in order to obtain a "typical Islamic" science. Al-Attas defines science as a meaning that comes into the soul along with the coming of the soul to the meaning and producing the desire and will of self.

There is no question that contemporary western civilization has beendominant in the field of science since the Renaissance. Western scientificsuperiority is not limited to specific scientific disciplines, but is rather anovetall scientific domination covering both the so-called exact and thehuman-social sciences. Western science is the primary reference for specialistsin such ateas as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, economics,psychology, and sociology. It is in this sense that Third World underdevelopmentis not only economic, social, and industrial; it also suffersfrom scientific-cultutal underdevelopment, or what we call "The OtherUnderdevelopment" (Dhaouadi 1988).The imptessive progress of western science since Newton and Descartesdoes not meari, however, that it has everything tight or perfect. Infact, its flaws ate becoming mote visible. In the last few decades, westernscience has begun to experience a shift from what is called classical scienceto new science. Classical science was associated with the celestialmechanics of Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, the new physics of Galileo,and the philosophy of Descartes. Descartes introduced a radical divisionbetween mind and matter, while Newton and his fellows presented a newscience that looked at the world as a kind of giant clock The laws of thisworld were time-reversible, for it was held that there was no differencebetween past and future. As the laws were deterministic, both the pastand the future could be predicted once the present was known.The vision of the emerging new science tends to heal the division betweenmatter and spirit and to do away with the mechanical dimension ...

Nasr is considered a figure who has compe-tence in history of science and philosophy with special emphasis on Islamic science and philosophy. In the earlier phase of his life, he acquainted himself with the thoughts of prominent thinkers both from East and West, and with the very issue of the encounter between East and West. This position makes the thoughts of Nasr on science having their distinctive character. The first part of this paper investigates the construct and characteristics of Islamic science as well as the hierarchy and the idea of unity in Islamic science.

Slavoj Žižek’s philosophy spans over more than three decades, which is confirmed by the numerous books he published since the late 1980s. Since his thinking about the idea of logos is no exception, this article focuses on what can be termed Žižek’s early philosophy, and especially that depicted in his The sublime object of ideology (1989) and The metastases of enjoyment (1994). Whilst the former underlines the psychological aspects of the logos, the latter focuses more on theories about being, as well as on theological considerations. This is why, three uses of the logos were identified in Žižek’s thought: psychological, ontological and theological, all three with a clear focus on the human being as conceived in modern thought, which for Žižek seems to be utterly opposed to traditional thinking about man and his relationship with God. It is clear from Žižek that whilst the notion of God does appear in this thought, it only refers to the human being which encapsulates the essence of Žižek’s philosophy to the point that the logos itself is a fundamental feature of the human being’s material existence in the natural world. Regardless of whether the logos points to psychology, ontology or divinity (theology), it always emerges as an idea which centres on the human being, with a special interest in how it exists as well as how it works in the world.

This paper examines the attempt of British missionaries on Madagascar to use medicine and the mission hospital as a way to convert the Malagasy people during the latter half of the nineteenth century. In their attempt to educate the Malagasy about the benefits of Western civilization, which was often defined through science as well as Christianity, missionaries were challenged by Malagasy culture and the local environment. To counter the ability of the Malagasy to challenge Western methods through their cultural beliefs and healing practices and so convert the Malagasy to Western ways, British missionaries had to carve out a space isolated from the Malagasy environment. Medicine, particularly the mission hospital, offered a space to champion Western science and Christianity. In their attempt to bring civilization to Madagascar, missionaries directly tied together science and Christianity while domesticating the space of the hospital.

Although the present article stands alone, it is a continuation of ‘Living in the not-yet’ (published in vol. 71, issue 1 of HTS). Both articles are derivatives of a larger study that discusses God as the centre of an often inarticulate and inchoate but innate human desire and pursuit to enjoy and reflect the divine image (imago Dei) in which every human being was created. The current article sets forth foundational considerations and speaks to the ineffaceable drive within humans to find God. It is a reciprocated drive – a response to God who first sought and continues to seek humans – a correlate and concomitant seeking in response to God. Although surely not the final word, this article discusses God as spirit and spiritual, by whom human beings have been created as imago Dei or God’s self-address, showing God’s heart as toward his creation, and humans most especially. Also discussed here is that humans are destined to join the perichoretic relationship that God has enjoyed from eternity. Moreover, in his ascension and glory, Jesus sends the Spirit of adoption into creation so that human creation might enter this same perichoretic relationship with God.

Western science began to penetrate to the Far East at the end of the sixteenth century, along with the Christian faith spread by Portuguese Jesuits.Astrology was important in both China and Japan. It included not only a limited knowledge of astronomy, but some philosophy and logic. The advent of astronomical knowledge as understood in Europe was the beginning of a new kind of science, which did not affect the East's traditional view of the universe; although at first information from Europe about medicine, physics, and astronomy reached the Far East along with the doctrines of Christianity, as a means of attracting converts to what the Chinese termed a new philosophy of life. An early propagator of Western civilization in China was the Jesuit Matteo Ricci (1553–1610), who taught medicine and astrology together with the principles of Catholicism. Another Jesuit, Francis Xavier, advised his superiors to send a mission consisting not only of the devout but also of the cultured.
