Farabi's Political Philosophy

This book examines the political philosophy of the Second Muallim Fârâbî in terms of its origins and originality.
Fârâbî, who built the political science and philosophy in Islamic thought as a science, also pursued a series of alternative political theories to the political thought of the Athenian-oriented Greek philosophy. Al-Farabi, who built a unique political philosophy between the political elements brought by the revelation of Islam and the ancient Greek political philosophy, on the one hand brought new problem areas to political philosophy, on the other hand, he brought a new horizon to Islamic thought with the doctrine of virtuous and virtuous cities. It is possible to see the virtuous and immoral perspectives developed by the philosopher on the ground of philosophy, nation and medina, in all the problem groups he examines about political philosophy. In this book, on the one hand, virtuous philosophy, virtuous religion and the idealized philosophical adventure of the virtuous city are examined, on the other hand, the story of corrupt philosophy, corrupt religions and unvirtuous cities in the philosophical filter of the Second Teacher is discussed.
