Abstract

I will raise two fundamental questions concerning Seyyed Ahmad Fardid's thought: Firstly, what “the west” is; secondly, what the relation of the west and wisdom is, regarding the problem of the west, in addition to what Seyyed Ahmad Fardid insightfully explains as the framework of the foregoing problem. The explication of The West seems to be necessary to conceptualize the wisdom as  specific sort of knowledge. It is also necessary to explain the relation of our situation and the western world.  As he uses “wisdom” what He means is the realm of mystical knowledge which is the same theoretical knowledge based on the eastern Islamic tradition, or he uses "wisdom" as what manifests throughout the history of philosophy from Farabi to Sadra. Afterwards, I reorient the issue within a further conceptual stage in order to demonstrate potentialities and deficiencies of Fardid’s meaning of The West and its relationship with the wisdom.
