The origins and objectives of Faaraabee's philosophy and their implications for Islamic education

Faaraabee is the founder of Islamic philosophy and exploring the origins and objectives of his philosophy can play a vital role in explaining the goals of Islamic education. These origins and objectives can be categorized in three sections: ontology، epistemology، and ethics. In each of these areas educational objectives can be defined and appropriate approaches identified. Educational objectives، from Faaraabee''s perspective، have two dimensions: individual and social، which are inseparable. The ultimate educational goal for Faaraabee is «well-being»، prior to which are moderation، rationality، health، and cooperation. Based on such a philosophy suggestions can be made as to how the national educational system can be improved
