In this article, through a brief consideration of the epistemology of empirical science in general, and the science of management in specific, it has been tried to re-identify, the position of these sciences amongst human knowledge: and then, in order to reveal the foundations from which this knowledge originates, the article is to elucidate the epistemology of Islamic management, as a major presumption for arriving at the Islamic management knowledge; so that a reasonable justification for such a knowledge is provided, and at the same time the principles and logical requirements for arriving at such a knowledge are provided. The article has succeeded to emphasize that the science of management, like all the other branches of humanities, is affected by the specific epistemological principles, and based on these principles the methods and resources are determined. Both the method and the resource have been condemned by an empirical epistemology which has resulted in discordance with other epistemological methods and resources. The religious epistemology provides us with a substance that approves other sources of epistemology, and by breaking through their exclusive views, supplies alternative methods and resources for doing research. Applying to revelation is the other source for religious epistemology, and the Islamic management, impressed by such an epistemology, finds another expansion in its issues and methods. This article reviews the epistemological approach and clarifies its effects on various fields of management.
