Мировые исторические путешествия Аль-Фараби: из Средней Азии и Ближнего Востока в Европу и Россию и обратно

Аннотация

The article is widely covered by the survey of my plenary addresses in the 5th International Farabi Forum which was held by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (Almaty, Kazakhstan, April 3-4, 2018). Important reasons for the study of al-Farabi and his work were: many of the manuscripts of al-Farabi are insufficiently studied and inaccessible to the scientific world or the general public; in former Soviet Central Asia, although Soviet science made an important contribution to the study of al-Farabi, she forcibly filtered her ideas -just as she filtered the views of Firdousi, Abay, and others through Marxist-atheistic ideology; from the western (Euro-American) perspective, even less of al-Farabi’s research was done because of the “western Eurocentric” bias. The “Western Eurocentric” bias interpreted the work of al-Farabi through the prism of its various Western Christian and / or democratic perspectives and values; A more strict “orthodox” Muslim view questioned or completely rejected the main aspects of the study of al-Farabi (and other Islamic thinkers of this period), considering it incompatible with some Quran teachings that are understood from conservative ulemic theological traditions.
