Farabi's rational education model on practical reasoning

This study aimed to present the model of Farabi’s rational education with an emphasis on practical reasoning. Therefore, Frankna’s deductive model was used and the ultimate goal of Farabi's rational education was found to attain God as the first cause. The mediating goals of rational education in the field of practical reasoning include actualization of the power of reasoning (rationality), realization of the will resulting from the power of reasoning (authority), creation of moral virtues among nations, creation of a moderate personality, and realization of a utopia. The principles of rational education in this field include the principle of readiness, educability (discipline), responsibility (individual aspect), and imperfection of human cognition. The principle of graduality and methods of rational education in this field also include observation, attention to the ability of individuals (giving tasks based on ability), gaining experience, discipline, moral cultivation, cooperation (empathy and cooperation), repetition and practice, and learning wisdom.
