About this audiobook
A concise introductory guide. What happens when a city takes knowledge and human fulfillment as its public purpose? This original English guide examines al-Farabi’s logic, his virtuous city, and the demanding idea of felicity that links reason, education, religion, and political rule. It also tests the risks of philosopher-rulers, unequal civic standing, and persuasive images. Eighteen chapters, an invented education-policy case, a glossary, and annotated sources make the debate accessible. A critical introduction, not a translation of al-Farabi.
