Abstract

 Some of the works of the medieval scholar Abu Nasir al-Farabi that have survived to this day are treatises written in a socio-ethical context. In this article, problems in Al-Farabi's  treatises  such as "Kitab al-Aadab al-Mulukiyya wa al-Akhlaq al-Ikhtiyariyyah" (كتاب اآلداب الملوكية واالخالق إلختيارية), "Kitab tahsil al-Sayada" ("كتاب تحسل الصعدة" - About the Attainment of Happiness), "Kitab Fusul al-Madani" ("كتاب فوسل المداني" - Sayings of a statesman), "Kitab al-Siyaasaat al-Madaniyya" ("كتاب العلامة المداني" - Civil Policy), "Kitab al-Tanbih ala sabil al-Saada" ("كتاب التنبيه على سبيل السعدة" - Happiness guidance) and "Kitab Araa Ahlu al- Madina al-Fadila" ("كتاب آراء اهل المدينة الفاضلة" - Thoughts of the residents of the benevolent, virtuous city) are considered. In addition, based on the manuscript of the above-mentioned treatises of al-Farabi, a comprehensive analysis of his thoughts on human, society and ethnic values is made. Philosophical thoughts of Abu Nasir al-Farabi in the treatises written in the Middle Ages have not lost their importance even in today's globalization era. The works of the medieval thinker on ethnic values are an invaluable treasure for the benefit of all mankind.
