A Way to Science

Knowledge and Science

If we talking about science, we can't separate it to knowledge. There are various ways to gain knowledge. Human has five senses that can be utilized to earn it all. By hearing stories from our parents, knowledge can be acquired. But it can't be regarded as legitimate knowledge before we get proofs. Knowledge that is gained from experience depends on how both of our sight sense work. The matter becomes different if the knowledge is acquired from remarks. We can give example below.

A peasant, while hijacking his field, can know the appropriate time to plant his plants. He knows over rain and dry season can influence his plants. Everything is known according to experience. A botanist expert can know the character of each plant. From signs he gets, he can look for remarks about plants necessaries concerning to ground, air and its food substance.

Another instance, when a man drops feather and stone, he knows that stone can drop quickly than that of feather. Certainly, experience gives him knowledge that stone falls to due of its weight than that of feather. Person, who doesn't go to school, knows it based on their experience. Now how about airplane? It is heavier than stone. Knowledge person can only response it by answering, "because it has machine". If that thing has machine, how about ship and car? Here he can only answer,"because they don't have wings." If we rotate further this question, then the answer will not be remarkably match.

Man, who knows something circumstance because of experience and sight, doesn't know how to search advancement of his experience. Man, who thinks something problem he has seen, knows intercourse between its cause and effect, thus he can use the knowledge to acquire one intention. Man, who gets knowledge from the only experience, sees his knowledge as a gift. For person who looks for remarks from experience he knows, knowledge is be a question. (Hatta, 1954: 5)

Knowledge that is acquired from experience is called as empirical knowledge. Knowledge that is obtained from remark is called science. Knowledge is the first way of science to look for further remarks. Science aims to render remark of cause and effect of its question.

If it has known its cause and effect, then it will be searched the further question. Science is a well-ordered knowledge gained from the causality. The relation between cause and effect is called causality. The law of cause and effect is called law of causality. So if person, who gets new empirical knowledge, formed based on mind to find out the causality, is called science. New empirical knowledge can be science knowledge if there is law of causality that is ever be experienced by the problem.

What is problem?Neither occurence nor circumstance is called problem. Problem is an occurence arising a question in our self about its position. We don't want to stare it, but investigate it deeply which certainly concerning science. Problem arises question. This question that must be explained by science. 

Emerging of Science

For human who doesn't have science, this nature is single to them. To them, nature is a magic thing falls accordingly. It is a place for him to live, to be scared and to be sacred to him. In process of time, arise in his mind such question how indeed this nature is. Because he has no science, it will cause fantasy and superstitious which for a long time can be heirloom thing to human.

Human mind nature is initially barbarous. He suspects that nature can be penetrated by reason. So then, human mind is affected by two matters, cosmos nature and live attitude. By these subjects hence occur various science branches. Why? Because human always feels curious. By its more curious sense, hence occurs such problem. By the problem, hence occurs science. More varied problem are,  more branches of science is resulted. It purposes in order to be explained the position one by one.
