Farobi and "Fazil" Society Issues

Abstract

Farobi correctly distinguished natural and social sciences based on their tasks. According to his interpretation, if the sciences of mathematics, natural science, and metaphysics serve to enrich the human mind with knowledge, such sciences as grammar, logic, and poetry show the correct use of sciences, the correct explanation of knowledge to others, that is, they serve for intellectual education. He believes that the knowledge of politics, ethics, and education teaches people to unite into communities and the rules of social life. Farobi understands well the importance of natural sciences for the practical activity of a person. He calls such sciences the sciences of real things.
