Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the philosophy of positivism as proposed by Auguste Comte and to explore how his philosophical ideas have influenced the development of the Islamic education paradigm in Indonesia. This study is a type of library research, involving a series of activities related to data collection from literature, reading, note-taking, and processing research materials. The findings of this study indicate that the positivistic approach can strengthen the development of research methodology in Islamic education without neglecting spiritual values and divine revelation. Although the philosophy of positivism has not succeeded in eliminating the role of religion in human life, the thinking paradigm it offers has contributed to shifting the orientation of Islamic education in higher education institutions from a theological approach to a more integrative one. The relevance of positivism is evident in educational research and the integration of Islamic sciences, making it selectively applicable as a methodological tool to enrich the academic discourse of Islamic education in the modern era.
