| Research Abstract |
The originality of this study is found in the fact that western medieval philosophy and Islamic philosophy are investigated in their mutual relationship. Concretely speaking, I made clear both the connection and disconnection between the thought of the Christian World and the Islamic World by the comparative study of the concept of natural law in Thomas Aquinas and the concept of law in Averroes. The dialogue between the Christian World and the Islamic World is an urgent task for us today. In this study, by paying attention to the philosophical thought of the middle ages, in which both world formed their civilization in the same legacy of Greek philosophy, a new possibility of the dialogue between the two civilizations is made clear.
