Modern social science is grounded in specific epistemic and theoretical foundations that shape its approaches, theories, domains, and methodologies, distinguishing it from social science and its underlying principles within the Islamic perspective. One of the primary epistemological foundations influencing modern social science is the question of what constitutes a human being and how humans relate to reality and social forces. This paper attempts to examine the anthropological foundations of interpretive social science. Data were collected using documentary and library-based methods, and subsequently processed through descriptive and analytical approaches. The findings indicate that interpretive social science regards humans as autonomous, meaning-making, environment-creating, and calculating beings with a limited cognitive apparatus, for whom ordinary consciousness serves as the primary source of information. This perspective on humans leads to sociological implications, such as the rejection of a positivist view of social science, a focus on understanding the motives and intentions of social actors, the lack of explanation for patterns of unintended consequences, neglect of underlying causes and mechanisms in analysis, a historical view of identity, one-dimensional interpretations of humans, and attributing social changes to individual actors.
