جهود الكندي في التوفيق بين الفلسفة والإسلام

Abstract

In this research, I tackled the Arab philosopher Alkindi, the pioneer of Islamic philosophy, who is one of Islamic scholars. I tackled the meaning  of  word philosophy in the first chapter; then I tackled the  conception of philosophy in ancient Greeks including naturalists, Stoics and  Atheists as well as I tackled the way that Greek wisdom (philosophy) extracted  by Arabs; particularly translation method which was used in translating  many books of logic, philosophy and others. The second chapter includes Alkindi’s life; his birth, education, ancestry, his work in translation and philosophy. 

In the third chapter, I tackled the efforts that were done by Alkindi to harmonize between philosophy and Islam; in other words, between mentality and inspiration through his Islamic theories in which  he based  his own Islamic belief, his great Islamic culture and knowledge of ancients. He gave evidences and proofs to pursue his theories and ratify theories of disbelievers of Greek philosophers. I also mentioned his great and unique additions to science of philosophy, which paved the way for Islamic philosophers who appeared after his era.

The research ended bya conclusion and recommendations
