Abstract

The end of Comparative Philosophy is the most important and last point of view regarding this approach. So far, Comparative Philosophy has faced various oppositions, confronting these criticisms, a question will be raised: Are these oppositions against the nature of Comparative Philosophy or due to the dissatisfaction or ineffectiveness from it? In the present research, by examining the contexts, the causes and reasons for opposition to Comparative Philosophy have been discussed. In this regard, the appearance of Comparative Philosophy, its progress until the new era, and reaching the opposition's point of view will be discussed with the descriptive-analytical method. In this regard, firstly, the views of the Comparative Philosophy opponents and believers of its end, their purpose, and their arguments will be examined. In the following, the origin of Comparative Philosophy and then the major approaches in the new era are presented. Then, by presenting the fourth approach (which provides an independent definition by reviewing the concept of comparative philosophy), an answer will be given to them. The results of the present research show that the opposition to Comparative Philosophy and the belief in its end is based on the lack of correct understanding of Comparative Philosophy and its precise definition and it's not that the nature of Comparative Philosophy faces impossibility and end
