Abstract

Knowledge generally is about knowing, defining, and understanding something. It is so important for a man to learn something mainly about God, His signs, and His attributes as in the end, knowledge would be attributed back to The All-Knowing of everything, Allah. Many thinkers have had talked about what knowledge is and what is not. Some of their opinions had been adopted and applied while some are not. In discussing what knowledge is, its complexity begins as the thinkers talked and elaborated more on the main idea of the theory of knowledge. The perceptions of two great scholars who were also the economist, Ibn Khaldun, and John Keynes, are discussed in this paper. The discussion relates to how their worldview had given an impact to the field of economics and to what extend people in this contemporary world have applied these scholars’ ideas in their personal and public life, and for the economy of the country globally.
