The Statuts of Islamic Philosophy and its Relationship to ‘the Other’

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the place and importance of Islamic philosophy and its role in laying new foundations within the episodes of human thought, and how philosophers of Islam - the first of them Canadian - contributed to preserving the Greek heritage, transferring it to the Arabs and developing it, but not according to tradition or transfer and translation but in addition to renewal and creativity. Also, taking from the other does not mean imitation and abstract dependency - as Orientalists view - as much as it means to Al-Kindy, especially learning from 'the other’ and not being closed and hostile and working to

renew with addition and teaching the other also by referring to revelation, which earns the Islamic philosophy anoriginality that distinguishes it from others in addition to the fact that the introduction of the previous philosophies is not inconsistent with their originality and the subsequent inheriting from the former should be practiced every philosophy until contemporary philosophy.
