Abstract

This research is an attempt to compare the views of FARABI and IBN SINA on the question of HAPPINESS, which is discussed in two parts: the definition of HAPPINESS and its relation to the faculties of the soul. FARABI has suggested five definitions and IBN SINA one definition for HAPPINESS. It will be shown that in some respects the definition of IBN SINA and in some others those of FARABI are more to the point. In regard to semantics, FARABI uses a few terms such as good, joy, and true wisdom, while IBN SINA employs such terms as joy, perfection, good, reward, and achievement as equal to HAPPINESS. In regard to the relationship between HAPPINESS and the faculties of the soul, FARABI holds that experiencing HAPPINESS is confined to the theoretical rational faculty of the soul and the other faculties cannot understand HAPPINESS, whereas IBN SINA argues that all the faculties of the soul have the ability to acquire HAPPINESS, and the HAPPINESS of each faculty lies in the actuality of its potentials.
