Title

Reengineering the Thematic Structure of Science Based on Evolutionary Research Methodology: A Prerequisite for Transformation in Humanities

Pages

  1-26

Abstract

 Introduction and Objectives: The transformation of humanities as a complex undertaking requires a conceptual framework or model for identification, evaluation, and decision-making. The foundational step in this process—as a prerequisite for transformation—involves the systematic examination, analysis, and classification of existing knowledge within these disciplines. Given that these fields are not operating in a vacuum but rather consist of well-established sciences across all domains, this work aims to: 1. Provide precise awareness of existing scholarly achievements, 2. Establish coherence within these disciplines, 3. Present a comprehensive model that reveals gaps, 4. Guide future research directions, and 5. Assist scholars in selecting appropriate methodological pathways. "Reengineering the humanities" thus constitutes the critical first step toward substantive transformation. Focusing specifically on management science as a case study within the humanities, this research seeks to reengineer its thematic structure and classify its accumulated knowledge through a predetermined evolutionary research methodology. The resulting framework—derived from a meta-analysis of management literature—serves as both a diagnostic tool for mapping existing knowledge and a prescriptive model for identifying systemic deficiencies. This approach resolves the cognitive dissonance often experienced by non-specialists while providing a holistic understanding of management science for those outside its immediate academic sphere. Methodology: The preliminary phase employed conventional academic research methods grounded in an interpretive philosophical paradigm (per Saunders' research onion model), utilizing qualitative-descriptive methods with inductive reasoning. Thematic analysis was applied for data processing and pattern identification. The core phase implemented Evolutionary Research Methodology (ERM)—a novel approach rooted in the philosophy of Wilayat-based systems (as developed by the late Allameh Seyyed Munir al-Din Husseini). This methodology: * Originates from irreducible religious axioms and value commitments * Utilizes self-evident conceptual foundations * Generates empirically actionable interventions Through ERM, codes derived from the preliminary phase were systematized into three core categories (Action, Subject, and Objective). These were further integrated into a broader taxonomy comprising: 1. Intra-scientific dimensions (the core triad above) 2. Extra-scientific foundations (underlying principles, schools of thought, theories) 3. Relational dynamics (emergence, change, evolution) This tripartite structure (depicted in Table 1) reengineers management science into 27 discrete thematic domains, revealing both developed knowledge areas and underexplored/absent research territories. Results: The ERM-driven classification system: * Identifies 27 distinct research domains within management science * Reveals knowledge gaps requiring completion or revision * Highlights entirely unexplored research areas * Demonstrates how higher-order layers (principles → schools → theories) influence core elements (Action/Subject/Objective) The symbolic model presented in the concluding section illustrates how foundational changes (e. g., anthropological assumptions in organizational sociology) cascade through all levels of scientific structure. For instance, prevailing paradigms that reductively focus on material dimensions of human nature inevitably constrain subsequent theoretical developments and practical applications in management. Discussion and Conclusion: This study establishes comprehensive classification of existing knowledge as the essential precondition for humanities transformation. The proposed "Reengineering of Thematic Structures" through ERM achieves exhaustive coverage—no substantive aspect of the discipline remains unaccounted for in the final model. Key contributions include:   1. A diagnostic framework mapping knowledge positions and neglected research frontiers 2. Demonstration of how foundational principles (particularly anthropological assumptions) etermine downstream theoretical and practical outcomes. 3. Empirical validation through application to management science The study concludes that strategic interventions at the foundational level (e. g., redefining human ontology) represent critical leverage points for substantive transformation, as these necessarily reshape schools of thought, theories, and ultimately, practical applications.
