Abstract

The existence of the philosophy of science becomes crucial in facing the advancements in science and technology, marked by the increasing specialization in various fields. The philosophy of science serves as a theoretical framework and research methodology closely related to the scientific research process. It addresses the essence of science, which forms the basis for logical assumptions (neutralistic ethical doctrines), empirical results, and the limitations of scientific knowledge. This article employs a qualitative approach, utilizing library research by examining relevant literature related to the discussed study. It also incorporates document studies of previous research results associated with the philosophy of science. Data collection involves exploring books, reputable scientific journals, and sources from Google Scholar, digital libraries, and others. Through its ability to test, contemplate, and critique assumptions and scientific methods, the philosophy of science also plays a role as a logical foundation for research methodology. In the context of higher education, the philosophy of science provides a solid foundation for scholarly pursuits, offering a logical basis for research methodology, and enhancing understanding of what is referred to as science. The contribution of the philosophy of science to research methodology not only broadens cognitive horizons but also provides a profound understanding expected to motivate researchers to genuinely engage in their research tasks.

Abstract

The stigma of leprosy can generally be seen from two aspects, namely, self-stigma (such as shame and low self-esteem) and public stigma (such as societal prejudices), which are also related to the restriction of social participation and discrimination. Prejudice or assumptions are further reinforced by the presence of negative labels or stereotypes attached to an individual. The emergence of discriminatory actions is a result of the majority's assumptions or prejudices towards others. These assumptions or prejudices then become a form of differentiation in society. This research utilizes a qualitative method with the social construction approach of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckman. Data analysis is conducted in accordance with Berger's social construction theory, where social construction can be understood through the processes of externalization, objectification, and internalization. The results of this research indicate the existence of different constructions by each individual based on their level of information and experience. Firstly, society constructs leprosy patients as individuals cursed. Secondly, leprosy patients are constructed as sufferers of hereditary diseases. Thirdly, leprosy patients are constructed as sufferers of a highly contagious and dangerous disease. Fourthly, society constructs leprosy patients as individuals with a curable contagious disease.
