The Status of Wisdom in Alfarabiu's School of Thought and Model of Government

Due to his social innate nature and inner inclination towards perfection and salvation, man seeks for an appropriate ground to attain his lofty ideals. In the light of wisdom, a society may provide the best ground for all human beings in order for them to develop their potentialities in the course of their lofty perfections. Making use of the Islamic teachings and revelation and as the founder of the Islamic philosophy, Alfarabius went to propose the idea of his utopia in the course of elevating man to the highly positions. Alfarabius argues that merely a wisdom-centered society may attain the true happiness. In their research into Alfarabiu's works, the authors have explained the chief status of wisdom in that utopia, the necessity of it for both the citizens and the governor, and in the end they set forth Alfarabiu's ideal government.
