Abstract

The critics of Islamic Philosophy have always denied its independent philosophical identity. In this direction Islamic Philosophy is either considered an Arabic interpretation of Greek Philosophy by Muslims or by adding Islamic tag to it presented it as equivatent to Islamic science of Kalam. It is worth noting that although Islamic Philosophy has received its subject, method and early framework from Greek Philosophy, but in view of its benefiting from religious Islamic texts has its innovations that makes this philosophy distinguishable from Western Philosophy. Of course, this benefiting from religious texts, has not deprived it of its philosophical identity and has not changed it into science of Kalam, for this science by its subject, method and goal is different from science of Kalam. Finally, Islamic philosophy is a science that by preserving its early and fundamental philosophical framework has utilized from religious texts in outlining its problems, raising arguments, removing doubts and confirmation and judgement.
