Conflicts and truth claims that occur between the epistemology of
normative law science based on rational logic with the epistemology of legal
sociology based on the reality of empirical law in society resulted in the science
of law in Indonesia is not developing positively or can be said to have stagnated.
Therefore, it is necessary to reform the epistemology of jurisprudence from other
discourse, as found in a natural law based on religious revelation which touches
on the substantial aspect of the spiritual-moral values of human beings as God's
creatures. Basic use of epistemology of science based on revelation by the
development of the era that is experiencing a multi-dimensional crisis due to the
wrong way of thinking of the man himself, because it has disregarded the role of
God in arranging the life of the world. The science of prophetic law based on
religious revelation emerges as an exponent of a new paradigm in law science in
Indonesia that carries important ideas about humanization, liberation, and
transcendence.
