The necessity of conceptualization in social science, a review of the book Anthropology of Helping Each Other

The pathway of conceptualization and consequently, theorization faces with a recession in Iran, specifically in the area of Social Science. Most activities of this area depend on re-examining existing concepts and lacks localized theoretical grounds related to Iranian society. In this paper with a review of the book “Anthropology of Helping Each Other” written by “Morteza Farhadi” and relying on Weber’s views, specially his attention to conceptualization and explaining historical individuality, I want to show how an Iranian researcher addresses a historical individual in his/her society and seeks to explain and conceptualize the unique concept of space and time of Iranian society. Studying the book “Anthropology of Helping Each Other” shows that the concepts are formed in the abstract level only with conceptualization and commuiting between social objectivity of Iranian society and the Iranian scholar subjectivity, and are used to explain what the Iranian human experiences.
