Abstract

An applied issue in scientology is the study of the structure of science. Issues such as parts of sciences, enumeration of sciences, divisions of sciences, the right headlines (al-ru’ūs al-thumānīyya), classes of sciences, and the like indicate that the structure of sciences was of great importance for Muslim intellectuals, and in recent centuries, structural approaches to scientology began to increasingly develop. The study of the structure of science from the perspective of the parts of the text and internal elements of science is helpful for understanding, learning, considering, refining, and classifying propositions and ideas, as well as for methodology and systematic study and production of sciences, since it provides us with a mental map. Moreover, since it represents sub-branches of sciences in a structured form, it can help the methodology of the educational system, course outlines, research outlines, and scientific-practical projects. In this paper, I seek to recognize the structured view of science from the perspective of systematizing the internal elements of sciences, providing a model for production and portrayal of Islamic sciences.
