Abstract

Regardless the wide spread use of the term Anthropology in scientific field, there is no clear conception of its various interferences in humane sciences. In this article, for showing the relations between philosophical discussions and human science and also for showing how humane sciences change by changing the philosophical foundations. We talk about the part of Allama Tabatabai's Anthropology which proposing the categories of practical reason or the theory of E`tebariat. E`tebari is a kind of concept which emerges by the action and this property makes these kind of concepts alien from theoretical reason. Consequently, the methodology of discovering them is the use of qualitative methods which use in the science of Anthropology. In Islamic philosophy this important point in the theory of E`tebariat can change the structure of the science of "cognitive Anthropology" in the way that the subject matter of cognitive Anthropology bounds by knowing the various kind of E`tebariat.
