The article discusses the fundamental cyclical relationship between technology and culture and suggests that it is only possible to understand what is involved in modernization if that concept is related to traditional cultures. Obviously, science and technology are at the root of the inequality that exists between advanced and developing nations, but an approach based on the notion that science and technolgy are neutral ignores reality.

"In bringing together a global community of philosophers, Global Epistemologies and Philosophies of Science develops novel perspectives on epistemology and philosophy of science by demonstrating how frameworks from academic philosophy (e.g. standpoint theory, social epistemology, feminist philosophy of science) and related fields (e.g. decolonial studies, transdisciplinarity, global history of science) can contribute to critical engagement with global dimensions of knowledge and science. Global challenges such as climate change, food production, and infectious diseases raise complex questions about scientific knowledge production and its interactions with local knowledge systems and social realities. As academic philosophy provides relatively little reflection on global negotiations of knowledge, many pressing scientific and societal issues remain disconnected from core debates in epistemology and philosophy of science. This book is an invitation to broaden agendas of academic philosophy by presenting epistemology and philosophy of science as globally engaged fields that address heterogeneous forms of knowledge production and their interactions with local livelihoods, practices, and worldviews. This integrative ambition makes the book equally relevant for philosophers and interdisciplinary scholars who are concerned with methodological and political challenges at the intersection of science and society"--

[Extract] I am a scientist and this is my brief on what the world needs to know about science and COVID-19. Science is a method of truth-telling about the physical world and ways to improve quality of life. It is the most powerful enterprise that has led to improved healthcare, a more sustainable environment, a safer world, and a better "knowing and understanding" about the world we live in. Science is fun and spectacular. And it has rarely let us down, until now. Despite multiple warnings in 2015, the current global pandemic has revealed major deficits in our preparedness for a viral attack. Governments have let the public down by not supporting early warning programs and for not providing sufficient science funding to understand how different people respond differently to a viral attack, and vaccine development. The present pandemic has also revealed that science underpins a country's national security in ways never appreciated before. The resultant economic upheaval has thrown global supply chains, stock markets, the airline industry, oil markets, and the central bank into frenzied disarray (1). It is regrettable that it took a global pandemic, and the most powerful global economies to come crashing to their knees, with hundreds of thousands of lives lost, to bring science out of the shadows, and into the spotlight.

The Qur'an is the revelation of God with the absolute truth that is the source of Islamic teachings. The Qur'an is a holy book for Muslims who give clues to the right path. It serves to provide welfare and happiness for people, both personally and in groups. He was also a place of grievances and outpouring of hearts for those who read it. The Qur'an is like an ocean that never dries its water, its waves never subsides, the riches and treasures that it contains never run out, can be crossed and interrown in various ways, and provide tremendous benefits and impacts for life Human. In his position as Scripture and miracles for the Muslims, the Qur'an is a source of security, motivation, and inspiration, the source of all legal resources that are never dry for the one who imfew it. It contains historical documents that record socio-economic, religious, ideological, political, and cultural conditions of human civilization until the VII-century AD. If that is the case, then the understanding of the verses of the Qur'an through interpretation, having a very large role for the development of the people, guarantees the key term to open the warehouse of the Simsimpani that is buried in the Qur'an. As a living guideline for all ages, and in many aspects of human life, the Qur'an is an open ended scripture to understand, interpret and be offered in the perspective of the interpretation method and the perspective of the dimensions Human life. From here there came the sciences to study the Qur'an from various aspects, including the science of interpretation. This paper will discuss about the science of Tafsir covering its history and development, as well as patterns and methods in interpretation.
