Abstract

The modern era’s prevailing researches in different fields of humanities have become an inextricable part of science. Some critical viewpoints put forth by thinkers, like Heidegger, critique and analyze this approach. This paper is an attempt to define the features of modern research in Heidegger’s viewpoint as well as his critiques. While enumerating the fundamental problems of the existing research systems, Heidegger looks for the solution to these problems in a phenomenological approach to science and contends that some serious changes should be made in the principles of research systems.
 The present paper is an attempt to extract these critiques through documental method. The findings of the research are given below: It is necessary to explain and modify the philosophical requirements of research methods employed in different fields, particularly in humanities; It is necessary to pay attention to phenomenological research methods and their features and efficacies; It is necessary to focus on organized and developmental utilization of indigenous research methods; and, it is necessary to pay attention and employ research methods in the light of national master plans. Such critiques will be useful for the Iranian society that is looking for meeting local needs through scientific research.
