Abstract

Language is an instrument deeply embedded in human life due to its essential function and necessity. However, the significance of language becomes a crucial question when examined in relation to a particular social community or civilization. Contemporary philosophers of language have primarily focused their studies on reaching conclusions regarding the phenomenon of human linguistic activity. Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas offered a renewed perspective on the study of language and its relationship with the worldview or nature view. Al-Attas developed his argument on the basis of human existence consisting of body and soul in one physical form. From this premise, Al-Attas argued that human beings possess a divine gift from God, namely language, as a means of expressing and conveying their thoughts. These thoughts are always connected to a particular system of thought, which is then referred to as a worldview. Al-Attas’s perspective on the relationship between language and worldview provides significant implications for contemporary linguistic studies. Therefore, this discourse is both important and relevant for further investigation. The arguments developed by Al-Attas offer a distinctive contribution to contemporary philosophy of language, distinguishing them from the approaches of many other philosophers. This study also aims to provide a critical reflection on contemporary philosophy of language, which is further discussed in the conclusion of this research.

Abstract

This article aims to examine and analyze Nidhal Guessoum’s concept of multilevel reading as an epistemological model of Islam-science integration. Specifically, it investigates the epistemological foundations, methodological structure, and logical consistency of Guessoum’s approach in reconciling revelation and scientific rationality.  Employing qualitative library research, this study uses epistemological, hermeneutical, and philosophy of science approaches to critically evaluate Guessoum’s thought. The findings show that multilevel reading represents an attempt to establish a dialogical relationship between religion and science without reducing one into the other. Guessoum rejects both scientism and literalism by proposing contextual and layered interpretations of religious texts. This approach enables a more flexible interaction between Qur’anic interpretation and contemporary scientific developments. However, the study also finds that the model still faces several methodological challenges, particularly regarding interpretive ambiguity and epistemological consistency. Despite these limitations, Guessoum’s framework contributes significantly to the development of contemporary Islamic epistemology by offering a more contextual, critical, and integrative paradigm of Islam-science relations. Therefore, multilevel reading can be regarded as an important alternative model in contemporary   discussions on religion and science.
