Civil Philosophy and Science; A Look at Practical Philosophy of Farabi

Perhaps, Farabi is the only Muslim philosopher who hasfashionedcivil science in the science world; thisscience has original and especial claims both individually and socially regarding religion and true human lifestyle. Not only Farabi has established his science but also he has gone deep into it. The distinction between civil science and civil philosophy is one of the outcomes of this scientific attempt of Farabi.In the first chapter; we generally study civil science to clarify its limitation and distinction from other sciences. In the second chapter, we will do some study on distinction between civilscience and civilphilosophy in Farabi's work. In the third chapter, we generally discuss practical reasoning and its especial independency assumingthat itis basically independent from theoretical reasoning, regarding the basis of non-philosophical civil science. Although many evidences confirm that there is a type of experimental science on Humanities in Farabi's view, we arent absolutely certain about actuality of such an original science because of the standing ambiguities in his works. Perhaps if succeeding scientists traced his attempts and developed his innovation, wed have more proficient views in political science, appropriate with the Islamic societie's features.
