Aristotle “Nicomachean's” book on ethics is one of his most important books on ethics. By meditating on this book, one becomes the guardian of God, in which there are no traces of the many letters of God, one of the divine religions. Given that God and man's relationship with him are the ruling spirit of all the teachings of the divine religions, and in particular the religion of Islam, and that Muslim ethicists have followed Aristotle in their philosophical ethics and formulation, this absence of the one God has had some effects on philosophical ethics. This article deals with this issue with a descriptive-analytical-critical method and has listed some of the consequences and results of formulating philosophical ethics based on Aristotle's ethics as follows: changing the subject and purpose of ethics, not considering a place for slavery and relationship ethics between Man and God, the absence of the concept of the hereafter and eternal life in the science of ethics, different views on the concepts of goodness, happiness, and virtue in Islam, lack of explanation of the place of narration, revelation, and law in Islamic ethics and separation of ethics from revelatory sciences such as jurisprudence, personalization of Islamic ethics and lack of attention to its social dimensions.

One of the important issues in the field of Islamic philosophy is the relation between this philosophy and Greek philosophy. The main focus of the book's discussions is to study this issue. This article is intended to introduce and critique this book. In this regard, we first tried to clarify the content of the book and the main claim of the author. Finally, in the critique, we first briefly reviewed the strengths and attributes of the book and the critique of the book's form, then we entered in more detail about the book's analytical critique. The most important critique of the book is the inadequacy of the evidence and the lack of attention to the rival's arguments. According to the subject matter of the book and its scholarly methodology, it is suggested that higher education institutions consider this book as a text of educational assistance in the PhD degree in Islamic philosophy and comparative philosophy.

Philosophy of mysticism is a branch of philosophy and one of the topics of interest to studies of mysticism. In this field are proposed three theories of constructivism, philosophia perennis, and non-intentionality. People are counted like Stacey, James from the first theory processors, and Katz is one of the proposers of the second theory and Foreman of third theory designers. In reviewing the book of The Single Experience, one of the new works on the philosophy of mysticism, we concluded that the author, despite many efforts, did not mention the theoretical foundations of wisdom, while at the same time explaining the views of religions on the subject and sometimes making incorrect claims about them. For example, somewhere in the book is denying the existence, the unity of existence in the Jewish religion that is wrong. The book’s lack of careful attention to theories of constructivism and philosophia perennis that are directly related to this subject has diminished the validity of the book. Of course, addressing a single experience can also help to extend this topic and preparation of convergence between religions and their followers and be a step towards deepening religious beliefs.

Place and role of God in Hegel’s philosophy have become one of the most controversial problems in philosophy and interpretation for the past two centuries. The main distinction between the two Hegelian movements (the left and the right wings) depends on how we answer this issue. Contrary to the development of modern philosophy which has gradually diminished the place and role of God in the explanation of the world, Hegel brought this concept into the center of philosophy once again; he revived the arguments, and put it on the throne, although with a new name: Absolute Spirit.At the moment the most important question is the relationship between Hegelian Absolute Spirit and Christian God. Did Hegel make philosophy theological or theology philosophical? Did Hegel bring God into its high place or did he negate the common-theological concept of God?In Hegel’s Concept of God, Quentin Lauer attempts to deal with these questions. Although the reader cannot derive explicit answers for these questions, he or she can understand the approach of the writer about Hegelian analysis of the concept of God, and consequently grasp a brief impression of Hegelian metaphysics.

Islamic Thought 1 is a book which has been written for bachelor students of all fields, and it has reached its 97th edition. The book seeks to examine three important doctrinal principles, including human, God, and resurrection. But unfortunately the book has not utilized great Islamic intellectuals’ opinions, namely Avicenna, Abu Hamid al-Gazali, Sheikh Ishraq, and Mulla Sadra. The authors of this book have presented their own accepted opinions with theological attitudes and with very weak reasons. When they realized the weaknesses of traditional theology reasoning, and and when they could not provide rational proofs for it, they drew on some terms and reasoning of transcendental wisdom, which per se led to some contradictions in represented opinions in this book. The author of this paper believes that this book does not represent any thoughts, nor does it reflectany Islam of great intellectuals like Mulla-Sadra

This book is a report on some of the fundamental concepts of philosophy such as faith, revelation, God, self, transcendence and so on, from the view point of Anselm and Thomas Aquinas and other great scholars of medieval ages. The writer has mostly focused on historical roots of the phenomena and using perspectives of ancient Greek philosophers indicated how Christian scholars have applied these ideas to construct a strong rational foundation for religious teachings of Christianity. He not only does not consider the medieval ages to be an end to philosophical approaches but believes that their thoughts has brought about flourishing and nurturing of intellectual and philosophical streams of Renaissance, just like the way ancient Greek philosophers have impacted upon medieval ages. He utterly supports efficacy of studying and contemplation of philosophy of medieval ages.
