Society in the Philosophy of Mir Findiriski

This article presents Mir Findiriski’s concept of society through an examination of his concept of craft, as reflected in his treatise “On Craft”. The methodological framework of the study is based on a logical-semantic approach and the principles of historicism, employing a contextual method and comparative analysis. The scientific novelty of the study lies in its reflection on the evolution of ideas about human and society in the philosophical works of thinkers. It is noted that in Al-Farabi’s treatise “The Virtuous City” and in Mir Findiriski’s work “On Craft” society is compared to the human body. At the same time, the differences between the ideas of al-Farabi and Mir Findiriski are highlighted. The Safavid philosopher constructs a model of society based on the concept of craft. The main conclusions of the study are the continuity of the intellectual legacy of his predecessor regarding society and the originality with which Mir Findiriski describes it within the framework of unified concepts. The relevance of the study is determined by new cultural and social problems of our time and the need for historical and philosophical research that contributes to a rethinking of human existence.
