Abstract

This paper aims to compare AUGUSTINE's and FARABI's political philosophies based on their books "City of God' and "Supperior City" (Madina Fazela). We firs study some of the basic concepts such as city, justice and happiness in their philosophies. Then some of their theoretical principles will be discussed. We will show that AUGUSTINE introduces a new concept of city while FARABI uses it in its common meaning. AUGUSTINE's theoretical foundation is based on the Bible doctrine about two kinds of human nature, while FARABI's theory is based on civil nature of human beings. These differences cause a difference in the order governing the city. AUGUSTINE concentrates on the role of citizen and FARABI on the role of the head of city.Realization of city depends on the existence of CITIZENS from the viewpoint of AUGUSTINE. So, "City of God" has been existed all the time during history but its absolute realization will be in Last Judgment. But the existence of "superiority" depends on the existence of "superior RULER", so it has not been realized yet. Finally we will discuss the goals of the CITIZENS of these two cities. We also show that AUGUSTINE's approach in his book is philosophical while that of FARABI is theological.
