Abstract

The concept of “reality” continues to be reinterpreted in response to changing times and cultural contexts. The aim of this study is to present a conceptual understanding of ontology as a central branch of philosophy by analyzing the differences and similarities in the views of philosophers across eras and traditions regarding the nature of existence, and to identify paradigm shifts in ontological thought across thinkers and historical periods. This research employs a historical-philosophical method. The results show that (1) ontology in Western philosophy centers on the understanding of both ideal and physical reality; (2) ontology in Islamic philosophy explains the nature of existence with a focus on the essence of God and the universe; (3) ontological thought in Western and Islamic philosophy shares common ground in understanding fundamental meaning, the hierarchy of existence, ultimate purpose, and the use of reason to comprehend reality. While the two perspectives differ in method and epistemological framework, they converge in their basic understanding of meaning, the hierarchy of being, purpose, and the use of reason as a tool for grasping reality. Therefore, cross-traditional studies of ontology not only enrich philosophical understanding but also show that the integration of rational approaches, spiritual intuition, and existential experience can open new pathways for developing a more inclusive and transdisciplinary metaphysics.
