Summary/Abstract: The middle ages, which correspond to the most important period in the history of Islamic thought, have a distinctive place in terms of the history of philosophy. Although many texts are written in this field, it is always necessary to read and write the aforementioned period with the new interpretations and fictions. Anthony Kenny’s work, Medieval Philosophy: A New History of Western Philosophy, which is the subject of our study, tried to construct a history of philosophy on a new fiction with various concepts. In this review, it is pointed out that the Islamic philosophers who have influenced the later centuries as well as the medieval philosophy were neglected and their names were not mentioned in many issues. It is well-known that all above-cited philosophers reconciled texts in various fields such as logic, physics, metaphysics and knowledge. In addition, the interpretations of philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle in order to understand the texts show the importance of this contribution. However, it is noteworthy that Islamic thinkers have only a specific place in terms of certain concepts despite all these considerations. This issue, which is considered to be a serious deficiency for the book, together with the problems arising from the translation, makes the uniqueness of the text and its contribution to the field problematic.
