Since the academic works compiled with an Islamic approach in the field of social sciences are presented and introduced as a textbook in universities and scientific centers, their critiques are also vital to strengthen these works and remove ambiguities in texts and discover its capabilities and features. It will also lead to the production of social thought within the framework of Islamic thought. This article tries to critique and review the book History of Social Thought in Islam; From the Beginning to the Contemporary Period. Dr. Taghi Azadarmaki addresses the features and shortcomings of the book and also offers suggestions for its correction. The author, while evaluating the formal and accurate content of the work, has reached this conclusion. This work cannot meet the needs of the scientific community in the field of social thought in the framework of Islamic thought. There are also numerous editorial and content problems, the need to revise and rewrite and correct it.

The dominance of positivism over the philosophy of science in the first years of the twentieth century, due to its wave of criticism by some philosophers of science in the second half of this century, was in crisis and collapse. The views of scientific philosophers such as Popper, Cohen, and Lakatos provided the basis for the emergence of more radical critiques of the classical stream of the philosophy of science. In the same vein, Feyerabend tried to replace the previous approaches with a kind of methodological anarchism in his book, Against Method: The Anarchist Theory of Knowledge. According to her, there is no reasonable way to obtain and reject theories. In this book, she shows that trying to find rules for the logical reconstruction of the process of advancing science and proving and refuting theories is futile. In this research, while reviewing the mentioned book, an attempt has been made to evaluate some of the main views of the author in terms of form and content. The purpose of this work is to show the validity of the author’s radical claims in the philosophy of science and to assess its strengths and weaknesses. The method used in the critique of this descriptive-analytical work shows that Firand’s views, while in the field of philosophy of science as a new critical approach to the importance and privileged position, have unresolved conflicts to which they write. It has been overlooked, and it seems that those who follow his views in the philosophy of science should make more theoretical efforts to solve it.
