Peer reviewed under reponsibility of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. AbstrakIlmu pada hakikatnya adalah netral. Ketidaknetralan ilmu bergantung pada manusia. Secara ontologis dan aksiologis, manusialah yang menentukan dan memberikan penilaian tentang baik dan buruknya. Einstein mengatakan bahwa ilmu tanpa agama adalah buta, dan agama tanpa ilmu adalah lumpuh. Untuk itu, dalam sisi aksiologis, ilmu haruslah memberikan kontribusi yang lebih bermanfaat pada kehidupan manusia. Makalah ini berupaya memaparkan bagaimana aksiologi sebagai salah satu pilar utama filsafat mengungkap masalah nilai, etika, moral, dan estetika. AbstractScience is essentially neutral. The neutrality of science depends on man. Ontologically and axiologically, it is man who determines and gives judgments about good and bad. Einstein says that science without religion is blind, and religion without knowledge is paralyzed. For that, in the axiological side, science must make a more useful contribution to human life. This paper explain how axiology as one of the main pillars of philosophy reveals issues of value, ethics, morals, and aesthetics. PendahuluanAda tiga pilar utama dalam filsafat ilmu yang selalu menjadi pedoman, yaitu, ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi (Suriasumantri :1987). Ketiga pilar itulah manusia berupaya untuk mencari dan menggali eksistensi ilmu sedalamdalamnya. Hakikat apa yang ingin diketahui manusia merupakan pokok bahasan dalam ontologi. Dalam hal ini manusia ingin mengetahui tentang "ada" atau eksistensi yang dapat dicerap oleh pancaindera. Epsitemologi merupakan landasan kedua filsafat yang mengungkapkan bagaimana manusia memperoleh 188 pengetahuan atau kebenaran tersebut. Setelah memperoleh pengetahuan, manfaat apa yang dapat digunakan dari pengetahuan itu. Inilah yang kemudian membawa pemikiran kita menengok pada konsep aksiologi, yaitu, filsafat yang membahas masalah nilai kegunaan dari nilai pengetahuan.Persoalan-persoalan filsafat dapat dideskripsikan menjadi lima berdasarkan ciri-cirinya (Tim dosen, 2007;Rapar, 1996). Kelima persoalan filsafat tersebut adalah metafisika, epistemologi, logika, etika, dan estetika.
