FÂRÂBÎ’NİN ERDEMLİ TOPLUMUNDA MUHALİFLER

In Al-Fârâbî's philosophy, the idea of "virtuous society" is in the center and, as an ideal, it becomes identified with all the thought of the philosopher. Virtuous society is a happiness society, founded on the basis of truth knowledge, where belief, thought and lifestyle are dominant, which will enable the whole society to reach the highest happiness. Within the virtuous society, Fârâbî has named the people who do not adopt or who oppose this order as "nawâbit". The philosopher, who classified and depicted these figures that can be seen as opponents in the virtuous society, envisaged methods for encounter according to the opposition style of each group. In this study, the meaning of the opposition phenomenon within the virtuous society order and its reflections in the context of different opposition groups will be examined.
