The Political Theory of Al-Farabi A Study in the Relation between Al-Fayd with Civil Politics

Abstract

This study mainly discussed the political theory of Al-Farabi, especially the relation between al fayed theory to civil politics. The researcher traced the origins of Al farabi's philosophy as it appears in his main books and letters. The researcher argues that Al farabi gives a great importance to political philosophy in which it constitutes an original part of all his philosophy. Also he concluded that al faraby's political theory has a reflection on his moral political ideas to Al fayed theory and the hierarchy of the existence (Al mawjudat) from other side. Al Farabi did not isolate the civil science and politics from the other parts of his philosophy, mainly because he believes in the union of the human rationality. Finally the researcher finds that Al fayed theory has its logical, epistemological and moral indications as well as its indications on constituting the political fundamentals.
