THE EMERGENCE AND STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY

Аннотация:

When we say “Islamic philosophy”, we should understand this idea as a set of philosophical teachings of the Eastern peoples who used the Arabic language extensively and adopted the religion of Islam. In this sense, terms such as “Arab philosophy”, “Muslim philosophy”, “Arab-Muslim philosophy”, “Arab Oriental philosophy” are also used in science. In the last century, the concept of “Islamic philosophy” was mainly used in the form of “Arab-Muslim philosophy”. This term was understood as the philosophy of various peoples who were part of the Arab Caliphate. However, part of this philosophy was created not only in Arabic, but also in Persian, and Persian-speaking peoples, as well as Turkic and other peoples, made a significant contribution to this philosophy. Although this philosophy did not always have a religious content, it developed within the culture dominated by Islam. It is also worth noting that over the past half century, most researchers, both Eastern and Western, have preferred to use the term “Islamic philosophy” instead of the term “Arab-Muslim philosophy.”
