The feature of philosophy and the philosopher in the works of Abu Nasr Farabi

Abstract

The image of philosophy and the philosopher in Farabi's works is similar to the use of divine wisdom and the Qur'an: is the legacy of the prophets' teachings, a divine gift, a factor in guidance and along with governance. The teachings of the sages are mysterious, philosophy is unified and can be combined with religion. A philosopher has the appearance of a prophet and should be adorned with theoretical virtues such as love for the truth and research on the way to it, and moral virtues such as truthfulness, piety, asceticism from material desires, and believe in religious beliefs such as the creation of the world by the creation of a single agent, resurrection, the observance of the rules of heavenly religions. Wisdom and Hakim in their true meaning are reserved for God. The course of discussions in the most important works of Farabi starts from the origin of existence.
