| Farabi, “the Second Teacher” and the
founder of Islamic philosophy is one of
the most important philosophers in the
history of Islamic philosophy. Like other
Muslim philosophers and mystics, he has
no independent argument about aesthetic
concepts. In this research, one of the main
concepts of modern aesthetics, namely the
“aesthetic judgment”, is analyzed according Farabi’s perspective, and to achieving
this, some of the key concepts of Kant’s
aesthetics, as one of the turning points of
modern aesthetics, are used. In this paper,
concepts such as “second perfection”, in
the philosophy of Farabi, and “the ideal of
beauty” in Kant’s philosophy are evaluated
and then new explanation is introduced
of aesthetic judgment in Farabi. The results
show that for Farabi the canonical
art is that art which has some features,
and leads audience toward true happiness.
This canon corresponds to Kant’s definition
of ideal beauty, and is made clear
with combination of the aesthetic normal
idea and the rational idea in the philosophy
of Kant. |
