Abstract
Social knowledge, which was formed in the Islamic era and is known as practical wisdom in an important part, is a system of knowledge that provides special laws, theories and concepts for social knowledge. Knowing these elements can be the way to understand the language of this knowledge. Among these theories, there are many interpretations of the original under the title of "composition" which has been interpreted with different theories. Composition as a metaphysical principle has the ability to interpret various natural and unnatural components and elements. An example of these composition is formed in the human world under the title of society. In this regard, with an analytical-historical view, we have reread the formation process of various interpretations of the theory of composition regarding social reality, and finally, an innovative point of view in explaining what society is by using the united composition of matter and form in theoretical wisdom and the concrete composition of matter and form in The strategy is presented. As a result, its concrete combination will be an interpretation of the principle of composition, which is responsible for explaining the identity of the society. Finally, the general system that can express the concepts and ideas of social sciences of the Islamic period will be the practical strategy of that period.
