Epistemology, Ontology, and Axiology in Social Sciences: Philosophical Foundations for Understanding Societal Change
Abstract
Most people think that philosophy is too difficult and complicated, but philosophy is a discipline that can be studied by many people with the main topics of discussion being how to think scientifically and what role philosophy plays in daily activities. It can be said that philosophy is often questioned. Philosophy and science are two terms that are interrelated, because science emerged from the influence of philosophy, thereby successfully changing the mindset of humankind. As we know, philosophy has three branches of knowledge, namely epistemology, ontology, and axiology, all of which are very important in understanding philosophy, which has such a broad scope. Social change is the result of philosophical thinking, which discusses how society can change either slowly (evolution) or quickly (revolution).
