Critical Methodology of Agency and Structure in Gidden's Thought from the View Point of Transcendent Theosophy

The relationship between agency and structure is the basic problem of the social sciences. In order to put an end to the empire of hermeneutic theories on the one hand, and structuralism and functionalism on the other hand structural theory intends to offer a more adequate explanation in this area. Given the pivotal role of epistemic principles in social theories, this paper attempts to localize the humanities through an analytical library-based method and investigate the methodology of the foregoing theory from the perspective of Islamic philosophy. The study reaches the conclusion that the theory of structuration emancipates the social sciences from the claws of extremism and holistic and individualistic methodologies concerning the relationship between agency and structure. However, because it does not take a realistic position on such issues like existence, man and knowledge, it cannot serve as a perfect solution.
