The concept of a ruler in the philosophy of al-Farabi

Мақала әл-Фараби философиясындағы билеуші тұжырымдамасына арналған. Ойшылдыңпайымдауынша, ізгі қаланың билеушісі «имам» да, «философ» (ғалым) та болуы керек, өйткеніолар тек қоғамды басқаруға шақырылған дарынды адамдар.Билеуші, әл-Фарабидің пікірінше, ерекше интеллект пен керемет адами қасиеттерге иетаңдалған адам. Ғалым ретінде ол адамдар туралы қарапайым білімдермен ғана шектелмейді.Сонымен қатар, билеуші өз білімін бейнелі түрде жеткізе білуі керек және қала тұрғындарынбақытқа жетелейді. Осы мақсатта ол нағыз билеушіні бір нәрсе туралы ойлау керек деп санайды –бұл қала тұрғындарын көптеген жылдар бойы алаңдатып келеді. Әл-Фараби философиясындағыправитель туа біткен қасиеттерге ие, мысалы: ақиқатты сүю, әділеттілік, жақсылықты өз бетіменорындау, ар-намыс, өтірікке деген жеккөрушілік, жағымпаздық және т.б.Әл-Фарабише бірінші басшы болуға мына жолдармен жетуге болады: алғашында адамдабәйекшіл ақыл-парасат, сонсоң онда жүре келе қалыптасатын ақыл-парасат пайда болады,осыдан кейін Аристотельдің «Жан туралы» кітабында суреттелгендей, әрекетшіл ақыл-парасатпенқосылады. Мұндай адамды ертедегілер нағыз әкім деп атаған.Авторлардың пікірінше, әл-Фараби қалаған бақытты қоғамның логикасы басқару өнерінде,білім мен әдістерде жатыр, бұл туралы оның шығармаларында көп айтылады. Ғалым жетекшісініңбейнесі мысал бола алады. Бұрынғыдай, мемлекеттік басқаруды, билік жүйесін жетілдіріп, қоғаммүшелеріне жақсылықты ұялату қажет.Түйін сөздер: әл-Фараби, бірінші басшы, қоғам, бақыт, философ.

The Puzzle of Alfarabi's Parallel Works

AbstractScholars disagree about the correct interpretation of Alfarabi's Political Regime and Virtuous City, treatises that have striking similarities, yet notable differences. For some, the treatises encapsulate Alfarabi's philosophy; for others, they express only politically salutary opinions. Both interpretations fail to explain why he wrote parallel works. If both reflect Alfarabi's genuine philosophic doctrines, why did he compose separate but parallel treatises, both written when his philosophy was mature? Alternatively, if the treatises are political or rhetorical, why did Alfarabi compose two versions, and why did he choose these two accounts rather than others? To answer these questions, I discuss several overarching differences between the treatises, concluding that each work has an inner coherence and develops a distinctive narrative. I offer suggestions to account for the works’ distinctive orientations, both to persuade doubtful readers of their philosophic significance and to suggest to both groups of scholars reasons for their systematic differences.
