Islamic studies in the United States of America is a dense, productive, and globally acclaimed field because of the numerous academic opportunities and international publications in many languages, especially English. However, as in the general of Western universities, the Islamic philosophy/history studies at the universities of the U.S. is rather rare. In this article, firstly, the general state of Islamic Studies from the past to the present in the USA will be analyzed with a descriptive method and the rare position of Islamic Philosophy within the Islamic Studies will be examined. Secondly, the prominent names of the Islamic Philosophy in the Post-Orientalist process and their works will be evaluated. In conclusion, because of the general structure of the U.S. university system, it is revealed that the studies of Islamic Philosophy in the USA are quantitatively less than that in the European and Islamic geographies. This situation can be explicated by two ways. The first is the Islamic Philosophy's weak relation to the knowledge-power target which is the basic principle of the American state philosophy and to the political interests of the U.S. This circumstance forms the background of the Post-Orientalist tendency. The second is the growing interest in the phenomenological method and the dominant positions of cosmopolitanism and interdisciplinary approaches in the American higher education system.

Al enseñar filosofía surge una serie de preguntas ineludibles: qué enseñar, cómo y para qué. En este trabajo intentaremos responder a estos interrogantes didácticos, centrándonos específicamente en la enseñanza de la Filosofía Política en el Bachillerato de Bellas Artes. En particular, en el presente artículo se propondrán ciertos lineamientos con el objetivo de incluir una unidad de Filosofía Política en los programas de séptimo año de la mencionada institución empleando como marco teórico a la hermenéutica de Gadamer, la cual representa a nuestro entender un enriquecimiento de la modalidad histórica propuesta por G. Obiols y A. Cerletti para la enseñanza de la filosofía. ; Why, how and what to teach are some inescapable questions when trying to impart philosophy. In this study, we aimed to answer these questions by focusing on the school teaching of Political Philosophy at the Bachillerato de Bellas Artes. Particularly, we propose some guidelines with the aim of including a Political Philosophy subject in the last degree of that institution. We used Gadamer's hermeneutics as the theoretical framework, which represents an improvement to the G. Obiols'and A. Cerletti's historical approach. ; Bachillerato de Bellas Artes "Prof. Francisco A.
