islamic social science

The purpose of this article is to reconstruct and formulate Morteza Motahari's arguments about the meaning of Islamic social science. Accordingly, both his positive and independent views were expressed, and others' negative and critical statements were answered.

The data collection of this paper was text-based and inferential and deductive method based on qualitative content analysis was used in data analysis.

Morteza Motahari's criticisms of the meaninglessness of Islamic social science were as follows: the prevalence of Islamic social themes;The interplay of Islam's end with social science, the epistemic logic of Islam with social science, the relevance of Islamic knowledge, and the relevance of Islamic analysis to social science.

First, Islamic social science was religiously justified, and Islam had such a link with social science; secondly, rationally, there was also a possible impediment to the scientific rationality of science. And it was meaningful, necessary, and necessary, and we must seek to theorize about it.

Pluralism is considered one of the main approaches which has different senses among Moslem scholars. Therefore this concept caused ambiguities. In Islamic social studies you can seldom find the mixture اof the methods (quality and quantity methods). The majority of the ideas in this respect refer to the consequence of pluralism but not to discussion of its possibility. The majority of them considered the methodological pluralism as an idealistic affair and sometimes considered it as an essential approach. They see no any important epistemological conflict between it and other Islamic principles.
This article using discovery method is going to appears any possible conflicts, while this research doesn’ t accentuate non_ possibility of pluralism and its pragmatic effects.
This study belongs to precondition elements which are useful in such Islamic studies, therefore concentrates on methodological method is going to explaining it. Finally the problematic of this study: explaining the dimension of methodological methods which are useful in two main trends.
1- The possibility of pluralism. 2- the bases of pluralism.

Since Ayatollah Motahari was involved in the issues of "humanities" including "social science" and tried to find Islamic answers to its main questions, his unfinished path could be followed on the basis of his writings; their extension and continuation may end up to an approach in this regard. Therefore I have pursued "the criticism of Western social science", as one of the important branches of "Western humanities", in this article; and Motahhari's critical encounters with this science is explained in three sections: "epistemology", "ontology" and "normology". If we are posed, as the supporters of Islamic social science, what are the irremediable and irrecoverable "defects" and "deviations" of the Western social science which makes us create the approach of Islamic social science, we can mention a list of religious "criticisms" and "falsifiabilities", from the theoretical perspective of Motahhari, which are posed in this article. Therefore his perception of "the identity of Islamic social sicence" and also the relations between "humanities" and "Islam" are clarified to some extent.

Comparative study of three Islamic social science approaches in the scientific atmosphere of Islamic republic of Iran. “Documental Method” is used for data collection in the existing documents. Also, “Comparative Method” is used to study and compare the approaches. HosseinBostan by an epistemic approach realizes “Ijtehadi” (individual reasoning) method as the main feature of Islamic social science. Hamid Parsania by a cultural-epistemic approach attends the inner (epistemic) and exterior (epistemic and non-epistemic) factors of science production. Also he believes in an existing Islamic social science. HosseinKachooyan on the basis a social-historical approach realizes the nature of Islamic revolution as definer of the social science that should be produced. These approaches have many similarities together. Some of these similarities are basic and some other is non-basic. Also, these approaches have differences.
