Summary of the research in the English language
Al-Farabi built his political system on the individual and his goals. He referred the task of determining the form of the state and the type of political system based in it to (the individual’s aspirations, behavior, and powers that he uses to determine these goals), his upbringing, his morals, and his goals are what determine the form of the state according to Al-Farabi. If his morals, upbringing, and goals are virtuous, he begins. The foundation is formed to achieve the virtuous society or the founding nucleus of the state, and this individual can be a model for establishing the virtuous family (virtuous housing), so that the journey of the small community (family) begins towards the virtuous political society, which is considered the foundation of the political structure in the virtuous state.
These families resulting from the union of groups of individuals represent the foundation that Al-Farabi assumed for the state, endowed with upbringing, morals, and goals directed toward achieving perfection and true happiness. Together, they constitute the first nucleus of a virtuous society. He called it the imperfect society. He does not mean here by imperfection the opposite of perfection, but rather by those inharmonious societies. With the form of the general system in terms of profession, character, geography, or family system, and more precisely, it is the human gatherings that take a smaller form than the city or the globe (such as the combination of the home, the locality, the village, or the profession), which Al-Farabi is counting on to produce a head of state whose location is the location of the heart in relation to the body. So that the president becomes able to call on society to form the political system that he calls. (the virtuous state)
When the individual and society begin to strive towards perfections and complete goals, desiring to achieve the utmost happiness, the most important of which is its beginning (the one integrated political meeting, which is considered the most important social goal), since it makes society (a group of individuals), they begin the journey of achieving their basic perfections and their necessary needs for food, drink, shelter, and protection on the basis of Virtue, perfection, and justice. In this way, the morals of the individual and society and their goals are what determine the type of society and the form of the existing political system. In this way, the individual, his goals, needs, and the method of achieving maximum happiness are the deciding factor in determining the features of the state. Is it a state of virtues and perfections, or is it merely a maker of cycles and counter-products, and cycles and counter-products are all actions and behaviors? Individualism and association that hinder complete perfection, for example, vices and reprehensible qualities that make the thinking of a person, society, or head of state think in a way that is lacking in worldly pleasures such as food, drink, and sex. It is believed that these goals and similar ones, such as dominance, dignity, and others, are considered to be higher goals, and in this way they are the goals of individuals. It is the groups that rise in the concept of the state, and they are the ones that degrade it. Therefore, the individual and his goals and perfections are considered one of the components of the state and an important reason for its downfall.
