Towards a Structural test for the validity of Inference and the Achievement of scientific Cognitive Validity

Abstract

The study aims at exploring the foundations of cognitive honesty by identifying the principle of the creation of existence, and identifying the relationship between the nature of existence and the nature of human knowledge, the structural stages of cognitive growth, and the relationship of non-scientific presumptive approaches and honest scientific knowledge to the integration and growth of scientific knowledge. The problem of the crisis of scientific certainty in human knowledge has been addressed through the following axes: the absence of a scientific conception of the universe and its relationship to human knowledge, the existence of contradictory philosophical perceptions, and the predominance of the entrance to the theory of knowledge, which is either a purely sensory or a purely mental approach. Also there was a lack of an integrated structural test to measure scientific validity. The research has adopted the analytical structural methodology to compare the complementary sources of knowledge (revelation - reason - sense). A comparison was made between some of the Quranic verses related to knowledge - and compared them with the certainties of contemporary epistemology and cognitive development. The research has concluded that existence is of a structural-terminal nature, and that the relationship between existence and human knowledge is a structural-terminal relationship, and correct actions of scientific inference are of a structural-terminal nature, and the test of scientific cognitive reasoning should be structural-terminal.
