Abstract:

Morality, epistemology, politics and metaphysics are related to each other in al- Farabi’s philosophy. There is no way to evaluate his moral philosophy without his metaphysical system. The quest for happiness is a having knowledge process which begins with logic and ends with metaphysics. Happiness is the most well-known aim. For al-Farabi we can know what it is after establishing a metaphysical system. The understanding of God, Being and human-being determines what happiness is and how can we reach it. According to al-Farabi, human-being, like all other beings, emanates from First Intellect /God. For this reason if a man wants to attain “supreme felicity” he must aim First Intellect. First Intellect is an object of love.
