In this regard, reviewing and comparing these two theories can contribute to the intellectual richness of these areas. This paper tries to explore some of the different views, especially in the field of principles and foundations of though and explain some of these differences. The result of the study show that Islam and the west have fundamental intellectual differences in at least five scopes.
