Falsafa
Falsafa is an Arabic term that refers to philosophy, particularly in the context of Islamic thought. It emerged during the Islamic Golden Age, when scholars translated and built upon the works of ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato. Falsafa encompasses various branches of philosophy, including metaphysics, ethics, and logic, and seeks to understand the nature of existence, knowledge, and morality.
In the Islamic world, notable philosophers such as Al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Averroes contributed significantly to Falsafa. They integrated Islamic teachings with philosophical inquiry, influencing both Islamic and Western thought. Falsafa remains an important aspect of intellectual history, highlighting the dialogue between faith and reason.
