Summary/Abstract: Omar Khayyam was a philosopher, thinker, mathematician, astronomer, and a physician. Nevertheless, Omar Khayyam ranks among the globally known representatives of the Iranian cultural history primarily thanks to his rubaiyat, and also thanks to other aspects of his scientific work.Khayyam’s short epistles clearly show his affection for Aristotelian peripatetic rationalism,especially Ibn Sina’s philosophical thought which he knew, understood and interpreted exceptionally well. The fact that Khayyam felt a deep sympathy for Ibn Sina is also confirmed by his reference to Ibn Sina as “his teacher”. The paper presents Khayyam’s scientific work in promoting Ibn Sina’s philosophical thought.
