On the other hand, the development of science also strengthens the existence of philosophy (Bachtiar, 2010). Philosophy has changed the mindset of the Greeks and mankind from a myth-centric view to a logocentric view. Natural events are no longer considered activities of the gods but are considered events that the mind can explain (Bachtiar, 2010). The word philosophy comes from the Greek word that means liking wisdom, where the wisdom that lies in the Greeks is thinking to uphold the truth. (Soewardi, 1999) Humans with their brains can think and reason to gather knowledge hidden in this universe, and this process is carried out since humans are born until they enter the burrow. (Soewardi, 1999) Reasoning is a thought process in concluding the form of knowledge. Humans are creatures who think, feel, behave, and act, while their attitudes and actions are based on the knowledge, they get by feeling or thinking activities. (Soewardi, 1999) Science comes from Arabic: 'alima, ya'lamu, 'ilman, in English it is called science, from Latin Scientia (knowledge)-scire (knowing), the closest synonym to Greek is episteme (Nasution, 1989). In the Big Indonesian Dictionary, as quoted by Proverbs Bahtiar, Science has the notion of knowledge about a field arranged systematically according to certain methods, which can explain certain symptoms in that field (knowledge) (Bachtiar, 2010).
