Abstract

The philosophical heritage of the Persian thinker Abu Bakr ar-Razi is the principle for free-thinking and humanism in medieval Islamic philosophy. The key role in public life and works of Ar-Razі belongs to morality. Moral values are aimed to harmonizing of social relationships between people, social solidarity and humanity. The existence of these values was closely related to social practices and main changes in society. The human being at Аr-Razi’ works is a social being, he does not represent a person outside of society and mutual support. The philosopher called to humanity to observe ethical norms and rules, and Abu Bakr ar-Razi believed that the main conditions for the existence of human community are mutual assistance, social equality, mutual respect among all peoples. The solution of ethical problems should help to ensure that atmosphere of peace and tranquility reigns in society.
