Discussion of Al-Farabi's Philosophical Treatises
Within the framework of the round table titled "Discussion of Al-Farabi's Philosophical Treatises", participants thoroughly analyzed the great scholar's pivotal role in the systematization of science and philosophy. The speakers focused primarily on the work "The Principles of the Views of the Citizens of the Virtuous City," which outlines essential concepts for building a humane society based on justice and virtue. The discussion emphasized Al-Farabi’s conviction that quality education and moral upbringing are fundamental prerequisites for achieving human happiness, aligning directly with SDG 4 (Quality Education). Highlighting the "Second Teacher's" influence on global medieval thought, participants recommended integrating his ethical teachings into modern curricula to foster inclusive and just societies in line with SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). The session concluded by stressing the importance of strengthening academic cooperation under SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), with a collective decision to increase the number of research projects and regular conferences to promote Al-Farabi’s intellectual legacy among the younger generation.
