The study of folding philosophy as one of the results of post modernism from Islamic thought view can play important role in close relation of Muslim nationals thinking with the new concepts of post-modern philosophy and attempts to present the new manifestations of this thought in architecture well. The Muslims from second and third centuries (Hijri) (After the migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Medina) were familiar with Greek philosophy by syriac Christians. Before Islam, the works of some Greek philosophy were taught in Jondishapour University and some Greek lecturers came to Iran and worked in this university. The present study evaluated the capacities of interaction of post-modern thinking and folding philosophy specifically with Islamic thought from comparative view and achieves the similarities and differences. KEYWORDS: Folding, Gilles Deleuze, Presentness, Islamic Philosphy, Illuminationist philosophy INTRODUCTION Muslims got familiar only by a part of Greek philosophy and didn’t have full information about it and only they were familiar with some details. For example, some of Aristotle works called Flotin were changed by Farabi and Kandi and wrote some explanations about it. Ibn Sina said: I read “Meta Physics” of Aristotle forty times and I didn’t understand but when I read Farabi explanation, I understood it. It is defined that most of the interpretations of Muslims of philosophy were Greek philosophy and as Islamic thinking was not formed completely and Tashayo Imaman were not considered, Greek philosophy had important role in formation of Islamic philosophy thought. At first, we should say, Gilles Deleuze is an anti-Descartes philosophy. Descartes was the first who called Aristotle philosophy into question. According to Aristotle, any science should be followed by its own, Geometry by Geometry and Math by Math. But Descartes rejected this opinion of Aristotle. By geometry, he proved some problems of math and showed that by one science we can prove another science. Descartes by completing his opinions, defined the world based on math. We know Descartes with Descartes coordinate and Descartes product. But Gilles Deleuze considered the world taken out of math space and focused on language and psychology and mostly concentrated on psychology and sociology. Here, raising folding, layers and unified whole are created, this was raised as body without organ and the whole without part. It can be said that it is the organ with micro-organ but it doesn’t have organism. Indeed, there is not definite organism. The micro-organs are based on vibration and sense, not based on a predictable system and here anti-Descartes view is more vivid and despite the previous view, that layers difference meant value difference, here level difference doesn’t mean value difference as making all levels of unified whole. From Islamic perspectives, it can be said that when we divided the wisdom into ten parts, we say at first, there was God, then first wisdom was created and then the next creations are based on the first wisdom attributing it to Holy Spirit. In this descending hierarchy, we reach plant wisdom. There is such hierarchy but if there is no lower wisdom (plant), upper wisdom (first) is not recognized, so there is a consistency between them and there are some distinctions. It can be said that all these items form a unified whole with various levels, what as was in folding philosophy, their organism is not orderly and predictable. Hierarchy in Islam is ascending but in multi-level affairs, the situation is different. Folding architecture The result of post-modernism thinking of folding philosophy was showed for the first time by designing Columbus convention center in Ohio State University by Peter Eisenman.
