This study undertakes an Islamic epistemological investigation of the social and natural sciences. The author's objective is to fathom the foundations of Islamic thought structure in a universal context: to discover a set of axioms, assumptions and worldview that would apply to both the social and scientific orders at once. The author identifies socio-scientific order as a unified perception of reality where the unicity of God can be fundamentally ingrained and analytically applied to all human systems studied. Contents: Introduction; The Concept of Human Resource Development in Islam: An Example of Application of the Unicity Precept; The Unicity Precept in the Socio-Scientific Order: Special Reference to Islamic Political Economy; Theories of Social Contract and the Principle of Ethical Endogeneity; A Substantive Study of the Principle of Ethical Endogeneity; Toward a General Theory of Islamic Social Contract, University Press of America, 1993, 2.5, North-Holland, 1973-01-01.
