In modern times, human beings have witnessed some changes including a disassociation between natural sciences and humanities. In this course, natural sciences, with a focus on such disciplines as mathematics, physics, and chemistry became the queen of human knowledge. That the sciences have enabled human to get benefits from nature has led to the prevalence of the idea that they can be applied to other areas of knowledge such as human-related sciences, that’s why what today is called ‘methodological unity’ emerged during this period. ‘Sensory experience’ is the only appeal natural sciences recognize, and this experience is the basis of truth. Sensory experience in naturalist thoughts is a special and unique phenomenon and thus their results can’t be extended to the other events of future. On the other hand, disbelieving in generalizability will undermine the conditions of law in these thoughts. But providing a unique perception of time and its relation with mankind, and also believing in a set of general and universal principles that have been laid down in human nature, nativisitc thought dispels the fundamental contradictions of the philosophies stemmed from natural sciences.
