Abstract :
This master thesis project discusses the Arab Islamic Philosophy of Egypt in the 18th and 19th centuries. The research focused through a deep critical analysis of the original documentations provided in archives in Egypt, on the roles of the political as well as the religious institutions at the time of the 18th and 19th centuries. The dialectic between the two institutions was looked at, and how, most importantly, the intellectuals or the "Ullama" at the time tried to provide an understanding and reform programs for both institutions under the Ottoman Empire, the French Invasion as well as the British Invasion towards the end of the 19th century.
