The Islamic philosophy that developed between the 8^th and the 14^th centuries played a crucial role in the transmission of the great texts of ancient Greek philosophy into the mainstream of Western European philosophy during the Middle Ages.

However Islamic philosophers such as Ibn Senna (Avicenna) and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) were important independent thinkers in their own right.

Islamic philosophy was also important in the development of the mystical Sufism of Rumi and the Illuminationist philosophy of Suhrawardi.
