The paper is to compare between Ibn Khaldun's style of philosophizing and the modern viewpoint of Philosophy of Culture. Speculating on Asabiyyah (group feeling), civilization, and influences of climate on the human being, Ibn Khaldun sets the stage for his contribution to some of the most important categories of the philosophy of culture. He describes how gradually human beings, humans that first home around nature, reach the state of prosperity by way of Asabiyyah and he believes that this way is bound for wars and for the negation of the other. Ibn Khaldun, then, in the course of the discussion, somehow like oppressed utopian, recognizes other cultures and goes beyond the horizon of his own culture and views human being from the higher standpoint of O’mran, a standpoint that is devoid of any specific values, that is Jenseits von Gut und Böse. He rethinks religion so as to pave the way for poly – cultural standpoint.

One of the most controversial debates on Hegel’s Philosophy is the question of ancient or modern aspects of his philosophical system. On the one hand, focusing on Kantian dimension of Hegel’s Philosophy, some Hegel scholars have regarded his project as the completion and radicalization of transcendental philosophy. On the other hand, some others emphasize on Hegel’s conception and elaboration and also transformation of classical metaphysical concepts of Plato and Aristotle; hence, he introduced his new ideas in the context of ancient metaphysical tradition. Focusing on Hegel’s interpretation of Aristotle’s concept of God as self-thinking nous, this study shows to some extent, in explaining the most important concept of his philosophy i.e. the Absolute and its synonyms, that he is indebted to Aristotle. Although with his own conception of this concept, he opens a modern way to reinterpret the concept of absolute. Accordingly, the identity of subject and object has overcome the Kantian duality between apperception and the world, and the rejection of nature’s actuality in its immediacy has preserved the Kantian criteria of the conceptual determination of the world.

This paper seeks to demonstrate Kant's and Avicenna's belief in the objectivity of time. First, their views on the generalities are studied and the manner in which they are extracted from tangible and external issues explained. Second, their views on the objectivity and nature of time are explained. Time is a real perception according to Avicenna and a synthetic a priori concept according to Kant. Since the real perceptions and synthetic a priori concepts are the confluence of subjective and objective issues, the objective nature of time is established. Moreover, time-related issues, including the dependence of events on matter, time and its essence are addressed.

Nikolay Berdyayev, the Russian religious and political philosopher, observed three revoloutions in Russia and two world wars in his life. After 1917 revoloution in Russia, he was a distinguished professor of philosophy in the state university of Moskow for a short time. But, his criticisms about bolshevics' manner led him to be exiled from Russia in 1922. Berdyayev is one of thinkers who try to develop a Christian worldview. As a moralist social philosopher, he authored numerous essays and books in his life. Specially, he has developed a solipsistic philosophy in details and suggested new ideas as a Christian existentialism. His philosophical method is intutionistic and laconic rather than argumentative and systematic. In this paper, we discuss and criticize Berdyayev's Philosophical attitude in three fields of epitemoligy, metaphysics, and ethics.
