This study examines a critical perspective on the concept of rationality, which has long been regarded as the primary foundation of logical and objective decision-making. Using a qualitative approach through a literature study method, this research explores the integration of psychological, philosophical, and socio-cultural dimensions in understanding the limitations and complexities of human rationality. The findings reveal that rationality is not entirely neutral or free from bias. The psychological perspective highlights the influence of cognitive biases such as confirmation bias and anchoring effect, which often turn rationality into a justification for emotionally driven decisions. From a philosophical standpoint, David Hume’s argument that “reason is the slave of the passions” emphasizes the subordination of reason to emotion, while Horkheimer and Adorno reveal how modern rationality has evolved into an instrument of domination through ideologies of efficiency and control. In the socio-cultural dimension, rationality is shown to be non-universal, shaped by specific cultural and historical contexts, as exemplified by Max Weber’s concept of the “iron cage,” describing how individuals become trapped within bureaucratic systems of rationalization. The study concludes that classical rationality, characterized by its deterministic and calculative nature, is inherently bounded and insufficient to address the uncertainty and complexity of the modern world. Therefore, a new paradigm of rationality is needed—one that is integrative, reflective, and humanistic, combining logic with emotional, ethical, and social dimensions to produce decisions that are not only rational but also just and humane.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease caused by impaired insulin function, impaired insulin secretion, or both, resulting in a hyperglycemic condition. Patients with type 2 DM generally exhibit characteristics such as a Random Blood Glucose level exceeding 200 mg/dL and an HbA1c  level exceeding 6.5%. The accuracy of medication administration to patients must also consider the rationality of antidiabetic therapy in order to influence the success rate of optimal therapy. This study aims to evaluate the rationality of patient appropriateness and indication appropriateness in outpatients with type 2 DM at Tabanan Regional Public Hospital (RSUD Tabanan). This study employed a semi-quantitative observational research design with a retrospective approach by reviewing patient medical records from the initiation of therapy. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling, whereby samples had to meet predetermined inclusion criteria. The results indicated that the age group with the highest prevalence of DM patients at RSUD Tabanan was over 56 years old (74%), with a predominance of females (63%). The most common comorbidity among DM patients was hypertension alone (24.5%). Based on the findings, the percentage of patient appropriateness rationality among DM outpatients at RSUD Tabanan was 97.5%, while the percentage of indication appropriateness rationality in type 2 DM outpatients at RSUD Tabanan was 98.5%.

This study aims to analyze the differences and similarities between the paradigm of Western rationalism, which places reason as the primary source of truth, and Islamic epistemology, which integrates revelation and reason in the pursuit of truth. The research employs a literature review method with a qualitative approach, drawing data from various scholarly works on Western and Islamic epistemological philosophy. A descriptive-comparative analysis is conducted to compare the fundamental concepts, methodologies, and implications of these two paradigms. The findings indicate that Western rationalism emphasizes reason and skepticism in verifying truth, with philosophers such as Descartes and Kant rejecting external authority in acquiring knowledge. Meanwhile, Islamic epistemology asserts that reason plays a crucial role but must align with revelation as the absolute source of truth. The study also finds that the dichotomy between revelation and reason is often misunderstood, whereas in Islam, they can complement each other. In conclusion, an integrative approach that combines the strengths of rationalism in scientific analysis with the moral and spiritual foundation of revelation can lead to a more comprehensive and applicable understanding in both knowledge and social life

This study explores the reconstruction of the concept of I‘tikāf through the scientific interpretation (tafsir ilmi) of the Qur’an, aiming to bridge the gap between spirituality and rationality. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods to analyze Qur’anic verses related to I‘tikāf and various classical and contemporary tafsir works. The primary sources include the Qur’an and interpretations from scholars such as M. Quraish Shihab, al-Maraghi, and Ibn ‘Ashur. The study finds that I‘tikāf, when viewed through the lens of scientific exegesis, offers not only a spiritual retreat but also a space for reflection, intellectual development, and personal transformation. This integrated understanding enhances the relevance of Qur’anic teachings in the context of modern life, emphasizing that spirituality and reason are not mutually exclusive but complementary in the Islamic worldview. 

This article explores the dynamics of Islamic educational thought through the perspective of three influential figures: Al-Ghazali, Ikhwan al-Shafa, and Ibn Khaldun. Al-Ghazali, representing the conservative school, emphasizes education as a process of character building and drawing closer to Allah. Ikhwan al-Shafa, with their rational-religious school, emphasizes the importance of logic, observation, and dialectics in acquiring knowledge. Ibn Khaldun, as a representative of the pragmatic school, emphasizes education that is oriented towards social contribution and based on reality. This article analyzes the fundamental differences and contemporary relevance of these three schools, showing that an ideal Islamic education is one that can unite the three schools within the framework of an adaptive and responsive curriculum.

This research is motivated by the existence of inappropriate behavior in a student who often justifies his behavior even though the behavior he shows is wrong. The objective to be achieved in this study is to determine whether there is a significant difference before and after classical psychoanalytic counseling is carried out on rationalization behavior towards the client. This research method uses a pre-experimental one group, pre-test-post test approach. The population is one of the students of the State Islamic University of Bukittinggi. The data is processed using the Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 26 program using the Wilcoxon test. The results obtained in this study were changes in values ​​between before and after counseling. Which means that there is a change in rationalization behavior before and after treatment is given. So it can be concluded that classical psychoanalytic counseling can be carried out in handling rationalization behavior towards the client. So, it is recommended that counselors when conducting counseling can use the classical psychoanalytic counseling model in dealing with one of the client's inappropriate behaviors, especially rationalization behavior.    

This study aims to deconstruct the technocratic rationality underpinning social investment policies implemented in Bima Regency by critically illuminating the ideological co-optation of neoliberalism, which manifests through the language of modernity, productivity, and pseudo-empowerment. Within a structurally asymmetrical and historically marginalized context, the global paradigm of social investment has been adopted in an ahistorical and depoliticized manner, resulting in policy architectures that are both irrelevant and exclusionary. Employing a critical-qualitative approach with a deconstructive design rooted in post-structuralist epistemology, this research conceptualizes public policy as an ideological text that demands reinterpretation and recontextualization. Data were obtained through rigorous analysis of institutional and academic literature and interpreted using the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The findings reveal that social investment policies in Bima function not as instruments of structural transformation but rather as symbolic mechanisms of ideological co-optation, which conceal systemic inequality under the guise of bureaucratic performance metrics. The local state apparatus has lost its articulative capacity, subordinated to a global epistemology that is profoundly indifferent to local particularities. Terminologies such as “empowerment” and “human capacity” are reduced to administrative slogans devoid of redistributive justice. Consequently, the social investment paradigm has shifted the state's role from an agent of justice to a managerial entity of poverty normalizing exclusion and reinforcing the subordination of the subaltern populace.

Aqidah, sebagai pokok ajaran dalam Islam, berperan penting dalam membentuk pandangan hidup dan perilaku seorang Muslim. Di sisi lain, filsafat ilmu merupakan cabang filsafat yang mengkaji hakikat, metode, dan batasan ilmu pengetahuan yang berbasis rasionalitas dan empirisme. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau hubungan antara aqidah dan filsafat ilmu dengan mengeksplorasi potensi integrasi keduanya. Dalam kajian ini, aqidah dipahami sebagai bentuk pengetahuan yang bersumber dari wahyu, sementara filsafat ilmu memberikan kerangka analitis untuk memahami pengetahuan berdasarkan logika dan pengalaman. Meskipun tampak bertentangan, aqidah dan filsafat ilmu dapat bertemu melalui pengakuan terhadap peran akal dan wahyu dalam pencarian kebenaran.

This abstract will discuss the three main currents in modernism that emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, namely Rationalism, Empiricism, and Materialism. These three schools have had a major influence on the development of philosophical and scientific thought in the modern era. Rationalism pioneered by René Descartes emphasized that reason (ratio) is the main source of valid knowledge. Rationalist philosophers argue that truth can be achieved through deductive reasoning and innate ideas that exist in the human mind. They believe that mathematics and logic are ideal models for achieving definite knowledge. Empiricism developed by John Locke and David Hume holds that sensory experience is the main foundation of knowledge. Empiricists reject the concept of innate ideas and assert that the human mind is initially a "tabula rasa" (blank slate) which is then filled in by experience. They developed an inductive method of gaining knowledge through observation and experimentation. Materialism promoted by philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes views that reality is basically material or physical. This school rejects mind-body dualism and assumes that mental phenomena can be explained through material processes. Modern materialism developed in line with advances in science and provided the basis for a mechanistic understanding of nature and humans. These three schools have shaped the modern perspective on knowledge, scientific methods, and the nature of reality. Although each has limitations, their contributions remain relevant in philosophical discussions and contemporary scientific developments.

Through a literature review, this research investigates how Islamic economic theory has contributed to the rationalisation of education in Indonesia. An integrative education system that harmonises material and spiritual aspects is built on the principles of justice, balance and benefit. Therefore, Islamic economic philosophy provides a framework for moral and spiritual education that produces morally and intellectually strong people. In order to deal with globalisation and create a generation that is grounded in moral principles and thinks logically, this application is essential. To incorporate Islamic economic philosophy into national education policy and create a globally competitive education system that preserves regional spiritual and cultural values, curriculum design, teacher training and stakeholder participation are necessary.

Pneumonia is an infectious disease or acute inflammation of the lung parenchyma, mainly caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. The use of antibiotics is the main therapy in the treatment of pneumonia, antibiotics used can inhibit the growth or kill the bacteria that cause infection.

The conclusion is that there is still irrational use of antibiotics in the pulmonary inpatient installation at M. Zein Painan Regional Hospital.

Children who do not want to go to school and cannot complete their schooling and cannot finish their schooling or in other words do not get a diploma. There are various reasons why children can drop out of school, such as lack of attention from parents, economic problems, low interest in going to school, helping parents at work, being involved in juvenile delinquency cases, low intelligence levels, socialization and also the school zoning system. The purpose of the observation is to obtain information from the consequences of the child leaving school and to help the child to accept himself that he is a child who dropped out of school, so as not to be inferior and lose hope and convince the client (counselee) that the counselee can return to school and achieve his goals. This observation uses a qualitative method, in this case collecting data about events or phenomena that occur, and using a client-focused approach (psychotherapy that focuses on the client to solve his own problems), the counselor's presence is to listen empathetically and be fully present, and a rational-emotive behavioral therapy approach (an approach that aims to help someone overcome emotional disturbances and think rationally). From the results of the study, pastoral counseling assistance with a client-centered approach and rational emotive behavior therapy can help people who drop out of school not lose confidence, if they see their peers going to school, can open up, be more diligent in worship and more eager to prepare themselves to return to school.

Rationality in Islamic economics is a concept rooted in sharia principles, which aims to create a balance between material and spiritual needs. In contrast to conventional approaches to rationality which are often oriented towards maximizing utility and profit, Islamic economics expands the concept of rationality to include moral, ethical and social justice dimensions. Rationality in Islamic economics emphasizes economic decisions that not only take into account individual interests but also collective interests and sustainability.This concept involves compliance with halal and haram rules, as well as principles such as zakat, the prohibition of usury, and the importance of sharing risks in financial transactions. Islamic economics seeks to create a just and sustainable economic system, where the main goal is not only the accumulation of wealth but also social welfare and equitable distribution. Thus, rationality in Islamic economics does not only refer to economic efficiency, but also to moral and spiritual responsibility, which reflects the integration between faith and economic action.This study highlights how these principles can be applied in a modern economic context, as well as the potential of Islamic economics in providing solutions to global economic challenges, such as social injustice and unequal distribution of wealth.
