Abstract

The so−called "Social Sciences" today inherit the Scottish and French philosophical tradition. Classical German philosophers referred to what their French counterparts understood as the social sciences, under the headings "Historical Science", "Geisteswissenschaften" or "Moral Sciences". All of this predates the so−called "Moral Philosophy". All of this shows the difference in perspective that these views have taken on the nature of human. From the point of view of Wilhelm Dilthey, the Human Sciences are Historical Sciences because he understood human as a historical being. On the other hand, others, because they considered human as a Voluntary creature, therefore, portrayed the field of Human Sciences as the realm of will and morality. Gadamer, therefore, consider Human Science to be the legacy of Aristotelian Phronesis. From the point of view of this article, although the focus on Aristotelian Practical Wisdom cannot bring much to Human Sciences, but another period of Practical Wisdom has been formed in the space of Muslim thinkers, which, in addition to preserving the name of Practical Wisdom, has changed its identity in general. That was the cornerstone of the law of human action in the knowledge of Practical Wisdom; A universal law that promoted practical wisdom from the study of the virtuous to the knowledge of recognizing the human world and the world of morality, and thus established itself as the great ancestor of the Human Sciences.
