Abstract

In the realm of any science, there are fundamental questions that need to be understood in order to understand the theories of that science. Social theories, in order to provide a comprehensive picture, formulate social phenomena in the form of focal concepts and give them meaning. What distinguishes scientific schools and disciplines is the difference in the way social theorists and philosophers deal with peripheral issues and conceptual formulations. Social science encounters with human phenomena take place in three stages: problem identification, etiology and response (providing a solution). The method of confrontation in all three stages can be examined with a critical approach; because all three stages are influenced by the theorists and theorists' image of a "good society." In this article, using descriptive-analytical method, the problem was studied and it was concluded that, firstly, the cognitive foundations of social scientists, especially anthropology, have a tremendous effect on diagnosing the problem and observing social crises; Secondly, it is the stage of etiology and recognizing the roots of social problems, which on the one hand leads to the formation of different schools and on the other hand leads to different solutions. And if the issue is considered normal, no solution is offered.
