Abstract

Does every paradigms of human/social sciences base on a theory of practical wisdom? Historical analysis of the presence of practical wisdom in philosophical and human/social thought, shows us that everything we call human/social sciences, are theories in the field of practical wisdom. The outcome of different philosophical approaches in the history and in different geographical situations, is a special kind of human/social sciences. This reveals us that different systems of thought can produce different educational and strategic systems. With a glimpse to the works of Aristotle, Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Max Weber and Hans-Georg Gadamer we show that how they proceed a theory in practical wisdom as it is equal to human/social sciences. Metaphysical foundation of this theory is the division of existence into creatures who are independent of human will and dependent ones
