Abstract
Regardless of the social environment and life world, one cannot discuss the evolution in the humanities. As in the West, as long as no progress was made in the natural sciences, there was no discussion of the humanities. In fact, the most important factor that brought humanities to the center of academic debates was material advancement in the West. The emergence and growth of humanities in Iran, on the other hand, was due to the transfer of Iranian scholars to the West and, on the other hand, the Western motives for expanding Western culture and creating new economic markets in eastern countries. The main motive of Ayatollah Khamenei, who in the recent years called for this argument seriously, was the groundwork for progress. As the Islamic-Iranian Model of Progress is developed and the Islamic life is raised, the development in the humanities is also seriously considered by them. As a result, the role of the humanities in the progress and its mechanisms makes it clearer. The evolution of Islamic human sciences is based on precise methodologies and the provision of appropriate scientific solutions in the areas which related to Islamic culture and civilization. Areas such as the Islamic-Iranian Model of Progress and the Islamic lifestyle, because of their inclusiveness and generality, cover all areas of human sciences. And the focus on methodology and theorization in these two areas is the critical point in the development of humanities. Human sciences, as the propellant of development in the west, is considered as the determining factor in the realization of the Islamic Model of Progress and also the Islamic lifestyle in the Islamic world. The change of the path of human sciences from Western approaches to the field of Islamic and even indigenous issues has implications that are considered in this paper. So, using the Saunders "research onion" method, in response to the question that what is the implication of theorizing in new fields, the theoretical and methodological point of view of some contemporary Islamic thinkers (like: Sadr, Mohammad Taghi Jafari, Javadi Amoli, Arafi, Rashad, Abedi, Parsania) be addressed in order to achieve a suitable methodological model in the development of humanities. The result was that the entry into any practical application of the Islamic perspective requires systematic attention to philosophy, ethics and jurisprudence.
