Abstract

In an expression of Casual Layered Analysis, when Soheil Inayatullah separates four layers of the future; he meets a foundational problem in social science how are human actions explained in a social context? The paper works on this challenge. In this paper, we first survey casual layered analysis briefly; then study the dialing of this method with a fundamental problem of social science by explaining humanistic action in a social context and show the resemblance of Inaytullah methods with thoughts of Roy Bhaskar’s critical realism, Karl Popper’s falsifiability and Friedrich von Hayek’s ideas for the problem. Our analyses correspond to four layers to four types of future study leading to two critiques. First, Inayatullah denies the possible usage of mathematical tools for the Litany layer and he somehow confirms the non-empirical views, second after surveying mathematical and philosophical ideas of hierarchy in the first half of the twentieth century. this criticism and question come up in the common understanding how many facts are there that have been talked so recklessly about levels of reality and future? Based on hierarchy theory, when Inayatullah separates the layers of the future; he refers to an index to each layer, which differs from the ordinary and conventional understanding of the future.
