About this book
In his deep academic and philosophical study "Al-Farabi: From the Problematic of Political Text to Utopia" (published by Ruya for Publishing and Distribution), Dr. Hassan Majeed Al-Obaidi presents a solid structural deconstruction of the political project of the Muslim philosopher Al-Farabi. The author begins by dissecting Al-Farabi's political texts and their Greek and Islamic sources, unveiling the complex fabric linking logic, ethics, and political leadership. The book analyzes how historical political turmoil prompted Al-Farabi to transcend reality and formulate his famous Utopian project, "The Virtuous City." Through an eloquent literary style blending philosophical rigor with critical beauty, Al-Obaidi opens a new horizon for understanding how philosophy transforms from an instrument of interpreting power into a human manifesto dreaming of justice and ideal cosmic order.
Why read it?
Because it grants readers a deep, deconstructed understanding of political philosophy in classical Islam, crafted in a refined academic language probing Farabi's rich project.
Who is it for?
For all researchers and scholars of political philosophy and Islamic thought, as well as lovers of classical philosophy and analyzing utopian and social theories throughout history.
