Keywords: Arabic-islamic philosophy; Orientalism; Qur’an; Intellect;

Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to emphasize that the theories of arabic- islamic philosophers are primarily determined by the context of their own time that they witnessed, and socio-cultural and spiritual circumstances of the then Islamic world that are completely different from what was characteristic of the time in which their Greek predecessors lived and worked. The main purpose of this paper is the reflection upon the affirmation of intentionally and without valid arguments forgotten spiritual tradition whose base is not matter but the intellect and whose basic principles have their origin in the Qur’an, but also in the richness of ancient philosophy.
