Presented here is a modern reconstruction of Al-Farabi's Civil Politics, rewritten to suit contemporary linguistics, and the ideas reframed to make them easier to understand. In a world teetering between chaos and reason, Civil Politics revives the voice of the greatest Arab philosopher, Abu Nasr Al-Farabi, in a captivating, contemporary formulation that blends philosophy with life. This work takes you on a profound intellectual journey from the origins of existence to the purpose of humanity, revealing how reason and virtue can create a city governed by justice, love, and knowledge. It is a call to restore the meaning of happiness as a perfection of the soul, not a pleasure of the body, and to view politics as an art that nurtures humanity, not dominates it. In attractive, modern Arabic, the book presents a timeless philosophy that touches on today's questions: How do we live with a free mind, build a just society, and reclaim our humanity in a time of dispersion? It is a book for the searching mind and the heart seeking enlightenment, and a mirror of what humanity can be when governed by thought, not passion.
