Its main ideological platform was philosophy and logic. And, as they say in Arabic الفلسفففففففففف أم العلوم) i.e. philosophy is the mother of sciences). He followed the great Greek philosophers Aristotle (the first teacher) and Plato. And it is no coincidence that Al-Farabi became known as the "second teacher", and this is due to the fact that he deeply assimilated Greek philosophical knowledge, perfectly commented on it and corrected it when needed.
