Al-Farabi's Philosophy of the «Four Virtues» that Lead to Happiness

The article is dedicated to the great philosopher al-Farabi's philosophy of the “four virtues” that lead to happiness in the city. The scientist tells the secret of the «four virtues» that lead the people of the city to a happy life in this world and great happiness in the next.
