The study and knowledge of the method of scientists in any science is of great importance; What is more, knowing this method allows researchers in any field to learn how to use the resources of that field and to do research and study and critique the findings of other scientists - with the accepted method and method of that field. In the meantime, the methodology of jurisprudence is also noteworthy. In general, the study of the scientific behavior of jurists shows that there are two methods, individualistic and collectivist, the first of which, during the inference, pays attention only to the individual and his circumstances; But the second method considers the individual as a member of a society and also considers the complex relationships and conditions that govern the society. Therefore, the main question of this research was what are the similarities and differences between individual jurisprudence and government jurisprudence? The answer to this question, which was examined by descriptive-analytical method, confirmed that individual jurisprudence and governmental jurisprudence are similar in some areas, such as the same resources, and different in others, such as pillars and categories. Also, the research findings showed that considering the current situation and the formation of the Islamic government, using the method of governmental jurisprudence is preferable to individual jurisprudence; In a way that can provide the theoretical foundations of the state, government and Islamic civilization.
