Al-Jabiri's thought renewal project focuses on epistemological critics on scientific traditional framework of Arab-Islam. This is done by analyzing sociopolitical background of the formulation process and structure of Arab-Islam's logical reasoning, and the entire structural working mechanism of Arab's logical reasoning. According to Al-Jabiri, Arab's logical reasoning can be classified into three, i.e. bayani, Irfani and burhani. Bayani is a pure Arab's logical reasoning as it is motivated by cognitive factor to interpret religious texts. Irfani becomes an alternative epistemology for bayani in providing convincing conclusions. While Burhani, is logical reasoning based on rationality. However, even though the Arab's logical reasoning could be distinguished into those three, Al-Jabiri observes the domination of bayani on others, thus, the text and traditional authorities are always dominating Arab-Islam civilization. Consequently, Arabic Civilization is not creative-productive or poor in concepts and theories. The solution AlJabiri proposes is to apply critism spirit that have been developed in AndalusiaMaghrib, i.e. empirical rationale presented by Ibn Hazm and Al-Syatibi in Fiqh, Ibnu Ruysd in Philosophy, Ibnu Khaldun in sociology, and Ibn Madha alQurthubi in Arabic grammatical renewal.

Residents in remote areas have not been able to enjoy electricity, including Desa Duren, Gading District, located in the mountainous area south of Probolinggo Regency, where the village still does not receive electricity supply from PLN. Hydropower is a renewable energy that can be used as a substitute for generators, where this potential can be used to become a Gravitation Water Vortex Power Plant (GWVPP) already in the village, but it needs a touch of redesign. The results of the research on the reduction of gravitation water vortex power pland in Duren Village can be obtained that the electric power generated is 727.7 watts, where this power can supply electricity needs of 5 houses.
