An AnAlysis of cArdinAl concepts in fArAbi’s Political Thought
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Political system is a necessity which is based on human’s social needs. Farabi as one of the greatest Islamic philosophers has commented on the issue of exigency and structure of such a system. In his initial attempt he divides sovereignty into virtuous and non-virtuous and he recognizes the leader of utopia as more aware and more perfect among all the members of the society. In this system, the axis of division is social hierarchy of virtue and human beliefs, moral and common beliefs determine the boundaries of political system. The formation process of power in Farabi’s acceptable sovereignty originates from divine guidance and unyielding obedience of citizens. Therefore, Islamic scholars will not accept two models of autocracy and democracy systems. Farabi considers anything related to collective affairs along with spiritual and worldly happiness of citizens to the scope of authority of the governments, and in his view, it is the duty of the citizens to obey the good and virtuous leaders and disobey and rebel against misleading and ignoble ones.
