Abstract EN
This study aims at shedding light on how Aristotle and the Aristotelian thought entered into the Islamic world and China.
The study traces the historical stages of the arrival of Aristotle into these two totally different regions in terms of thought and culture, in addition to addressing the factors that led to its entry to both regions in different periods.
The study also highlights the role of the translation movement in the Islamic world in the Umayyad and Abbasid era, which was one of the most important factors that led to the entry of Greek heritage, especially Aristotle into the Islamic world, and which led to the emergence of Muslim and non-Muslim translators.
Furthermore, the study dealt with the introduction of Western Science and Aristotle to China through the Jesuit missionaries led by Mathieu Ricci in addition to referring to some of the translated works at that time.
More importantly, the study compares Aristotle in the two areas.
