Abstract: (751 Views)
The current research was carried out with the aim of explaining the theory of functionalism (the main pillar of sociology). The present study is descriptive (review type). The method used in this research was study and library. In this research, the literature and background related to the theory of functionalism (the main pillar of sociology) were reviewed and then a conceptual model was presented. In this regard, in addition to examining foreign information sources, sources and databases inside Iran have also been examined. The conducted studies indicate that functionalism, like other theories, has infrastructures that distinguish it from competing theories. The picture that functionalists present of existence is realistic. The basic assumptions of functionalists towards humans include determinism, satisfiability and pessimism towards human conditions. From the point of view of epistemology, functionalism is positivist and believes in epistemologies that believe that the social world, like the natural world, has components and elements that are governed by influence relationships. In terms of method, functionalism believes that man is like an object and social phenomena are like natural phenomena with independent existence and laws.
