Al-Farabi and science

On the occasion of the 1150th anniversary of the birth of Al-Farabi, many scientific conferences, round tables, and scientific research was held and books dedicated to the legacy of Abu Nasir Al-Farabi were published in the country. Farabi scientists studied the works of Farabi thoroughly and explained Al-Farabi’s ideas to the public. Nevertheless, further research is needed. The article is devoted to the study of Al-Farabi’s views on the classification of sciences. To master any science, some methods and techniques are necessary. Such methods are a tool for revealing the final and deep essence of the studied field of science. Al-Farabi was one of the first in the history of philosophy who classified the sciences and defined each science. As the founder of the direction of scientism in Islamic philosophy, Al-Farabi pointed out that science plays a key role in human life. The role of science has not decreased in the current millennium. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without science. On the contrary, mixed sciences are gaining momentum, and the role of science in everyday life is increasing. The article focuses on the purpose of science and its role in human life in AlFarabi’s treatise “The Sequence of Sciences”.
