Analysis of Axiological Realism in the Humanities: with Emphasis on the Realism of Value Propositions

One of the important issues in the field of scientology is the value of sciences, especially humanities. By accepting this principle, the value realism in the humanities is raised. In this regard, there are different approaches in the West and the Islamic world. Some philosophical schools, such as positivists, based on the principle of meaninglessness of values and the neutrality of science, deny the having value of science and consider it as violating the objectivity and discovery of science. The interpretive and critical paradigms, on the other hand, find it impossible to limit values in science and believe that science is full of different values. Because they could not defend epistemological and axiological realism; Faced with epistemological relativism. But according to Islamic thought, while accepting the principle of the having value of science and explaining it, one can defend realism and objectivity, especially value realism in the humanities.
