Pathology of Philosophy

The question brought up in this research is: what are the shortcomings of Philosophy in academic and Hawzeh environments? The main shortcoming of the western philosophy is domination of imitation and translation in scientific centers. The shortcoming of Islamic philosophy is its ineffectiveness in social areas and inability to influence humanities. The question is how the Islamic philosophy can be applied and come down from heaven to earth. The answer proposes four suggestions. First: establishment of Philosophy of Islamic Philosophy. Philosophy of Islamic Philosophy is a second grade and posteriori approach to Islamic philosophy which answers the external Islamic philosophy queries by historical and logical methods. Finding answers to external questions by historical and logical approaches makes the compatibility of the Islamic Philosophy with contemporary needs and the applicability of this philosophy possible. Second suggestion: establishment of a new insider wisdom by establishing newly devised philosophies such as philosophy of society, philosophy of media, philosophy of art, philosophy of cinema, philosophy of technology, philosophy of health, philosophy of nursing and so on, along with the philosophy of existence, knowledge, soul and religion. This happens when the subject of the philosophy is changed from existence in itself to concrete existence of mankind. The third suggestion: completion of methodology of philosophy from pure theoretical reason to practical reason. Fourth suggestion: benefiting of Islamic philosophy from Islamic teachings. Prior to making these suggestions this paper ponders the main obstacle of applicability of the Islamic philosophy, namely the definition of philosophy.
