Abstract Seyyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi is the philosopher who started the history of awakening of Iranians. Traveling to different countries, Seyyed Jamal got acquainted with the new ideas and civilization in the West and the backwardness of the Eastern nations. The main issue of this article is what solution Syed has proposed in his reform movement to fight and solve this crisis of Muslim societies. Referring to his remaining works and using a descriptive-analytical method, this short article tries to show the position, whatness, the necessity and the origin of philosophy from the perspective of Sayyid's thoughts. Also, this paper shows that according to him, it is possible to progress and achieve civilization and compensate for falling behind on the path of philosophy and promoting rationality. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, Seyyed Jamal's philosophical character, the benefits and efficiency of philosophy, and even the formation of sciences are well explained in his writings. His important witness in how the philosophical spirit leads to progress and development and creation of civility in societies is the occurrence of the translation movement and civility resulting from it among Muslims in the first centuries of Islamic history.
