The purpose of this study is to examine educational thought in the Islamic view according to Al-Attas and Robert Meynard Hutchins and to combine the thoughts of the two figures. This research will use a type of library research with qualitative, comparative, and descriptive research approaches. In the collection of primary sources, this research refers to the educational thought of Al-Attas in the book Philosophy and Practice of Islamic Education Syed M. Naquib Al-Attas by Wan. Mohd. Nor Wan David and the educational thought of Robert Maynard Hutchins in the book Suing Anarchist Liberal Conservative Fundamentalist Education by authors Paulo Freire, Ivan Illich, Erich Fromm et al. The result of the study is that there are similarities and differences between the educational thinking of Al-Attas and Hutchins. The similarity is that both of them prioritize scientific studies in reconstructing science. While the difference is that Al-Attas as a Muslim always returns all world affairs to the Qur'an and Sunnah, as well as education, Al-Attas refers to the Qur'an and Sunnah as educational references. Meanwhile, Hutchins has a view of the world of education through the experience of educational phenomena that occur in the environment around which he lives. The contribution of this research is to enrich the study of the thinking of Muslim and Western figures in the world of Islamic education.
