Abstract
Purpose: One of the intellectual concerns of Muslim sages has
always been to deal with the philosophy of politics, Shahriari
religion and the search for a desirable society, and an important part
of the philosophical works produced by Muslims is devoted to the
reflection of their philosophical thoughts about society. The first
philosopher in the Islamic world who raised independent and
systematic discussions about the ideal society and its components
and authored several works about it is Farabi. For this reason, he has
been called the founder of Islamic and political philosophy in the
Islamic world. The utopia of Farabi is full of educational words. In
Farabi's opinion, education and training is discussed in the practical
wisdom section and the subcategory of Madinah politics. The
purpose of the current research is education and training in Farabi's
intellectual system.
Materials and methods: The research method is qualitative content
analysis and inference (practical analogy). This means that based on
Frankena's inference model, principles have been extracted from the
juxtaposition of goals and principles, which lead to the adoption of
educational methods. The analysis community has been a collection
of books, descriptions and articles about Farabi's philosophy, which
has been purposefully sampled and studied in depth based on the
categories of research, and the resulting data has been continuously
analyzed simultaneously with the collection of information and
Analysis has been done.
Findings: The results showed that according to Farabi's value
theory, the most important goals of moral education are: knowledge
and faith in God, closeness to God, happiness, thinking and
reflection, rationality and moderation. Farabi considers educated
people to be the basis for creating a "Utopia" where its inhabitants
live in complete happiness and prosperity. Under the shadow of
correct education, people are ready to create a utopia where
happiness cannot be achieved except through its realization.
Conclusion: In the shadow of correct education, people are ready to
create a utopia, which is not possible to achieve happiness except
through its realization. The plan of this kind of education and
training and, as a result, happiness on the part of Farabi is rooted in
his philosophical views, and due to its ideality and abstraction, it
makes its achievement somewhat out of reach.
