https://doi.org/10.22311/2074-1529-2017-13-4-167-186
Abstract
Falsafah is a unique trend in Muslim classical philosophy. In Falsafah there was for the fi rst time in the history of thought was performed
the synthesis of world significance, namely, of Abrahamic,
judeo-christian-islamic, revelationism with ancient intellectualism.
This viable synthesis was perceived in Jewish and Christian cultures.
Even its name, falsafah, derived from the Greek, refl ects its synthetic nature. The article displays the universalistic
intention of Falsafa characteristic to diff erent fi elds of knowledge: metaphysics, epistemology, politics, eschatology. The author tries to investigate the transformations of universalistic idea elaborated by the eminent fi gures of Falsafah — Al-Farabi, Ibn-Sina and Ibn-Rushd. The ideas, presented in the frames of this approach, are of special signifi cance for the contemporary studies in Western medieval philosophical thought as well as in accordance of the historical background of modern political and philosophical
universalistic theories
