Interpretation of social interaction is a major concern of sociologists who have communicable and phenomenological approaches. Every one of these approaches has specific epistemic foundations. Sadr's philosophy, with its own different anthropological, has a great capacity to realize and interpret the social interaction. This paper studies the issue by an analytical method. In Sadr's philosophy, human being is "bodily in its origination" (jismaniyyat al-huduth) who will become a kind of human by inner movement and external factors, depending on the amount of actualization of the innate nature and intellect, or the overcoming of nature and instinct. Wild, social, and innate civilized human are among these kind of humans that bring three types of sensual, imaginary and intellectual culture by interactive exploitation, mutual service and love-based interaction models. Paying attention to the social context of different types of human beings and triple types of meaning (mental, related, and real) will make a several interpretation of social interaction, which some of them are as follows, an interpretation based on the intention of the actor, interpretation based on the social convention and its critical evaluation based on real meanings.
