Özet
This study
aims to compare the epistemological approaches
and methodological approaches
of Aristotle and Farabi on
the axis of
their views of
reason. While Aristotle
addressed the nature
of knowledge within a framework based on experience and observation, he
systematically developed methods such as
deduction and induction.
This approach has
played a direct
or indirect role
in shaping modern ideas about epistemological foundations. On the other
hand, Farabi reinterpreted Aristotle’s thoughts within Islamic philosophy,
addressed the relationship between reason and revelation, and emphasized the
role of reason as an active force in man’s attainment of knowledge. This study
aims to contribute to understanding the intellectual interactions in the context of both classical logic and
Islamic philosophy by examining how the two philosophers’ understanding of
reason produces different
epistemological and methodological results. In
addition, the study aims to compare the methods of acquiring knowledge
of Farabi and Aristotle, to reveal how knowledge is defined
and what its
limits are, and
to reveal the
effects of their
understanding of reason, knowledge and method on philosophical
thought.
