The current research was conducted with the aim of explaining the epistemological foundations of neoliberalism5 in online higher education and criticizing it from Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's point of view.

To answer the questions, the methods of conceptual analysis, external criticism and inference were used. According to the above, the findings are as follows: In response to the first question, it was determined that the basic concepts of neoliberalism epistemology in online higher education include: commercialization, individualism, mercantilism, free choice and competition. In response to the second question, it was also determined that the nature of knowledge, the possibility of obtaining knowledge, the order of knowledge, the validity of human-experimental science data, the purpose of knowledge, and social accountability are among the foundations of epistemology from Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's point of view.
