%J -
%D 2018
%X The attitude of al-Kindi, considered the first philosopher in the history of Islamic philosophy, towards ancient Greek philosophy appears completely symphatetic. Al-Kindi, who mentions the ancients with gratitude because of their contributions to thinking, bears strong traces of Platonic, Aristotelian, and Neo-Platonic philosophy. This article deals with al-Kindi¡¯s approach to Ancient Greek philosophical tradition based on a study of his various short works, namely On First Philosophy, On the Intellect and On the Soul. It also discusses al-Kindi¡¯s own philosophical stand vis-¨¤-vis these ancient traditions
