Abstract One of the fundamental drivers of intellectual flourishing within any philosophical tradition lies in its engagement and interaction with other philosophical systems, resulting in mutual influence and impact. This dynamic collision of ideas not only contributes to the maturation of philosophical thought but also gives rise to novel perspectives and insights. Conversely, a philosophical tradition that remains isolated from other intellectual currents tends to stagnate and lose its momentum. Even when transformations do occur within such an insulated tradition, they tend to be gradual and of limited scope. This is a profound lesson that can be derived from the study of the history of philosophy. Through such a lens, this article aims to investigate and analyze the intricate relationship between Islamic philosophy and Western philosophy. Islamic philosophy, in its formative stages, drew heavily upon the philosophical heritage of ancient Greece. Subsequently, as Islamic philosophy underwent transformative developments, its texts were translated into Latin, becoming a catalyst for fundamental shifts within Western philosophy during the medieval period. With the advent of Western philosophy in Iran during the modern era and the subsequent assimilation of Western ideas by Iranian thinkers, the contours and foundations of Islamic philosophy underwent significant changes. This article critically examines these transformative processes and endeavors to delineate a prospective trajectory for the future interplay between Islamic philosophy and Western philosophy.
