Islamic Neo-platonic

It is not a systematic study that the research of Islamic Neo-Platonism in the related academic fields outside of China.In China,the role also needs someone to take the first step filling the blank in the field.This is the starting point for writing the thesis.Philosophy of Religion has always been an extremely important topic in the study of religion.The Islamic Neo-Platonism is a religious and philosophical question.It is possible to get some insightful conclusions by not only studying the Neo-Platonism,but also studying the Greek philosophy source and comparing it with the Neo-Platonism and other cultures,such as Chinese culture which deeply influenced it.Islamic Neo-Platonism and Neo-Platonism are different. Neo-Platonism is a religious philosophy which appeared in the late of Greece Philosophy,which had in some certain degrees of natural direction to develop.However this theory lacks the experience of combination with a true religion.Only by encountering with a real religion and influence to each other,the Neo-Platonism may have a complete development.In contrast to this,the Islamic Neo-Platonism has such value.Islamic Neo-Platonism and neo-Platonism have similar sources of Greek philosophy,similar characteristics and the historical role of thought.However,Islamic Neo-Platonism combined with Islam.It is not only a religious philosophy,but also a practical religion philosophy,which is a lived religious philosophy.In this two times Hellenistic processes,Islam absorbed the Neo-Platonism thoughts which originally came from Aristotle,Plato and others thought of the Greek Philosophy,and at the same time directly absorbed and developed the thoughts of Aristotle and Platonism.Kindi and Razi played a pioneering role in the beginning of these processes.Furthermore,Al-Farabi set up an Islamic logic which based on that of Aristotle and tried to reconcile Aristotle and Plato thought.In this way a new religious philosophy,this existed in the content of the Islamic and was with the Greek philosophy's background,formed gradually.Searched on that,we can find that they have the similar Philosophical sources,similar species of religious philosophy and a similar philosophical structure.Since then the Islamic Neo-Platonism gradually formed as the most core part of Islamic philosophy.At the period of Ibn-Sina(Avicenna),it reached its systematic stage.After a long-term development as a religious philosophy,the Islamic Neo-Platonism caused Islamic religious circle, especially the philosophy of Al-Ghazali's thinking.He would draw out the religious elements thoroughly from the theory of religious philosophy,Islamic Neo-Platonism has gradually become a religious theory and practice of system and it has more functions of religion's thoughts rather than the characteristic of philosophy.Islamic Neo-Platonism developed towards two different directions:one was toward the West,which has played an important role in Western Philosophy's subsequent formation and development; the other one moved toward the East,especially to China,and in late Ming and early Qing dynasty as "back to Confucianism,Buddhism," the form get the development,of which Liuzhi's Islamic Neo-Platonism Philosophy is most systematic and sophisticated:it used the Chinese traditional culture elements such as the concept of Qi,together with Islamic Philosophy of Religion which spread to China with Islam to explain the details under his own understanding. In fact the result of doing so combines the Islamic Neo-Platonism doctrine with Chinese traditional cultures in some points keep a right balance at a specific historical environment and also peaceful coexistence,and it is necessary theoretical skills of a high.It is also the Islamic Neo-Platonism Peak period in China,after then there was no significant development.In short,the Islamic Neo-Platonism as the religious philosophy which growing up in this background - attempting to put Aristotle and Plato thought to reconcile(in thought,represented by Al-Farabi),put the Greek philosophy and Islam combining,because it has the similar sources of Greek philosophy with the Neo-Platonism on the history,were at this as a source and developed under the philosophy of religion,and also more or less affected by the new idea of direct Platonism impact,but also because of its religious philosophy is not only a theory,it is also a religious philosophy and theory with practice(with the Islamic religious practice),so this religious philosophy of Islam was named as the Islamic Neo-Platonism.Research on Islamic Neo-Platonism,can not only know about the impact which Greek philosophy has given to Islamic philosophy(in essence,that is,know the impact of philosophy to religion) but can also know the Islamic Neo-Platonism's significance,as a religious philosophy to the development of world's philosophy and also know how can the different philosophies combination at the beginning of their encounter,and as how kind of the manner,and the maximum possible extent to what kind of state,for the study of this process can help us understand some of the contemporary major political, ideological and theoretical questions,and plays a guiding role of theory ---- because Islamic religious thought in contemporary is still facing each other and meet the problem,and this same question to other ideas and theories also have the reaction.
