خلاصة:
the understanding of humans in any philosophical school influences their ultimate purpose, affecting their way of life and how they resolve conflicts. building on the foundation of humanistic psychology, maslow posits the theory of self-actualization, asserting that transcending basic needs related to deficiency allows for the full manifestation of innate talents to their highest potential. fārābī, a philosopher of happiness with a special focus on the functions of the mind, thought, and aptitudes, links human perfection in material life to perfection in the afterlife, offering a comprehensive theory on perfection and happiness within the realm of the mind through the flourishing of innate talents governed by the bestowing of intellects. despite their different worldviews, both thinkers ultimately regard human perfection and happiness as aligned with the blossoming and utilization of innate talents. this perspective redefines primary human experiences, such as suffering and transient pleasure, replacing them with satisfaction and happiness. this paper presents an analytical-comparative study of these two philosophers’ views on the definitions of perfection and happiness. it addresses how humans resolve worldly conflicts and problems and examines their solutions within physical, relational, emotional, intellectual, and meaningful perfection.
ملخص الجهاز:
Regarding human perfection, Maslow has built his theory of self-actualization on the basis of the humanistic school, stating that by moving beyond deficiency-based primary needs, one can bring the dimensions of talent that are hereditary to their highest level of manifestation.
In this writing, an attempt is made, while comparing the thoughts of Farabi and Maslow regarding humans, their perfection and happiness, to address these topics: how each of these attitudes can answer human life issues in physical, relational, emotional, rational, and spiritual dimensions in relation to true perfection; and also what connection this perfection has with human happiness, how it defines the concepts of suffering and pleasure, and based on the definition of perfection, how one attains perfection and subsequently describes the characteristics of the Perfect Human.
Although Farabi links this motivation he also links this to the secondary perfection of the human; Maslow presents it solely in reaching a higher level of needs and ultimately self-actualization.
Although Farabi proposes a rational and demonstrative method to express his thought, and Maslow chooses an inductive method and the case study of the lives and thought patterns of successful individuals for his school, in the end, both reach the conclusion that perfection for a human means moving from potentiality to the actuality of the talents that have been placed in the nature of every human.
In any case, Maslow presents physical perfection in self-actualization and human perfection in terms of the manifestation of higher-level needs, whereas Farabi describes the same as the means to true perfection and happiness.
