description In this article, the explanatory and interpretative function of the book of "Politics of Knowledge in the Islamic World: The Convergence of Knowledge and Ideology in the Seljuq Period" has been criticized from two positive and negative aspects. The cultural status of the Islamic society, especially from the standpoint of knowledge and its relationship with the political institution in the Seljuq period, is one of the privileged and less known aspects of Islamic culture and civilization. The author of the book, using the theories of Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault, has examined the relationship between the two institutions of politics and knowledge in the Seljuq period. Some outstanding notes of the book were the importance of subject and its different productions of it, fluent and understandable translation, focus on an important, complex and new topic in the research, explanation and interpretation of the subject using a variety of historical and geographical sources. However, many imperfections can be found such as the failure to provide an understandable description of the subject, inappropriate generalization, and inattention to the historical research method, some intermittent themes in the original text, and some inappropriate equivalence, and topic and editing errors in translated text.
