Abstract

The article describes how political, social and cultural events that took place in the time of Al- Farabi influenced the formation of the scientist's worldview. The eastern thinker Al-Farabi, who attached great importance to the entire system of Science, also studied the natural and chemical sciences at a high level.

In his treatise "on the necessity of the art of Chemistry", Al-Farabi noted that "in this art there are two types of error: the first is rejection and distortion, the second is the ability to recognize and recognize and exaggerate. They're both wrong." According to the scientist, the people who described this art tried to give it a secret meaning, so that it could only be understood by sages of equal rank.

Al-Farabi studied chemistry, medicine, geography, botany, mineralogy, etc. It is known that his treatises on natural science and his contributions to this area are numerous, and the scientist’s legacy on them, in turn, requires introduction into modern education.

Nevertheless, in order to attract the younger generation to science, the masterpieces of science, to educate them spiritually, patriotically, to include the works and heritage of our ancestor al-Farabi in the curriculum and use it as a textbook should be left.
