Abstract:

Harari's thought, like any other thought, originates from a series of methodological and epistemological principles. Considering the direct impact of the methodical and epistemological approach of every thinker on how to achieve the results, it is necessary to investigate them with analytical-critical method. In this article, it is shown that Harari belongs to "extreme empiricism" and uses "incomplete induction" to reach his general claims. This is despite the fact that considering the way to reach reality in the experimental method is a self-defeating claim and logically incomplete induction does not have the necessary efficiency to reach general results. Also, in terms of method, Harari is trying to present a coherent story of human history by "making claims without reasons" in many cases. Nevertheless, putting them together in some cases has led to "internal inconsistencies" and shows a "superficiality" and lack of scientific obsession in his works. Examining the methodology and epistemology of Harari's works leads us to the fact that he was unable to adopt the correct epistemological principles and for this reason, significant problems and shortcomings have infiltrated his thought.
