Abstract

Mohammed Abed al-Jabri is a modern thinker who has left a great impact on the field of Islamic thought and philosophy by compiling some works. His claims about the dual nature of Islamic philosophy and his emphasis on the Islamic East and West have raised much attention and criticism. The proposed reading by Moroccan thinker is not completely original and unprecedented, and Ibrāhīm Madkūr, Fakhouri, Fazlur Rahman Malik, and others have had a critical view of Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina, especially on the issue. However, Mohammed Abed al-Jabri's emphasis on Arabic reason instead of Islamic reason and stating the difference in the view of Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina with Ibn Rushd shows a special point of view about Islamic philosophy. Mohammed Abed al-Jabri's view has not been read very accurately in Iran and has not been fundamentally criticized. In this research, we tried to examine and discuss the main claims of Al-Jabri about Islamic philosophy, Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina and oriental philosophy, as well as Ibn Rushd and finally the issue of combining philosophy and Sharia‎‎‎‎.
