Abstract

The differing views of Muslim philosophers on epistemic principles have provided distinct capacities for the production of social sciences. The methodological capacities of reason and narration have been considered from the perspective of Javadi Amoli in these three areas; subject and purpose, epistemological foundations, and theories of social sciences. The conceptual framework of the present study is fundamental methodology and its method is analytical.
Considering the social micro and macro phenomena in the arena of subject, lack of monopoly on empirical science and methodological interferential pluralism, accepting the existence of a society alongside one's originality and the legitimacy of the society and adopting the human species are some of the methodological capacities of this approach. Some of its capacities of anthropological foundations are the triple plan of social interactions: exploitive, contractual, and reasonable; dividing culture into three models: exploitive, contractual - referred to as secular culture - and transcendental culture; and dividing society into despotic, democratic, and civilized. The possibility of achieving a variety of rational theories including: abstract, semi-abstract, empirical, intuitive, and narrative theories in the production of Islamic social science are also some of the capacities of reason and narration in the arena of theorization.
