        Beside to postmodern approaches, on the one hand, and the positivism, on the other hand, certain aspects of social epistemology is capable to both defending some type of objectivity in the realm of science and cause to dialogue between those two camp. After introducing social epistemology in brief, in this paper, we show problematic aspects of those approaches and then show what aspects of social epistemology could serve to defend some type of objectivity in the realm of science, especially, in the philosophical atmosphere of our country, this moderate approach could be fruitful. According to social epistemology, the agent neither is absolutely free from social and political obligations, neither is absolutely dependent on such obligations. In other word, based on truth conductivity, social epistemology holds a moderate approach to objectivity of science. This may serve as a means to create a new approach to objectivity.

        The term “transcendental philosophy” is one of the most important and deep terms which Kant used to describe his philosophy. The present article, by adopting a descriptive-analytical method, has tried to examine and analyze this term, apart from  its fame and generality, and in this way, it identifies the content  and its scope. when we examine and analyze Kant's definitions and descriptions of transcendental philosophy and we look at its main elements as well as the continuity between those elements, it follows that, firstly, the transcendental philosophy contains essential critic of pure reason in both its theoretical and practical aspects. That is, transcendental philosophy, contrary to what seems at first look, simultaneously refers to pure knowledge or theoretical philosophy such as Epistemology, metaphysics and ... as well as practical knowledge or  practical philosophy such as religion, morals, law and so on. secondly, the reason why “transcendental philosophy” involves theoretical and practical realms, lies in  a  certain common basis between them, that is, a priori elements, especially synthetic a priori judgments. ‌Thirdly, it embraces the formation of an architectonic system based on specific ideas and in accordance with the concepts and  a priori principles.
