Odnos teologije i metafizike u Al-Fârâbîjevoj filozofiji
The Relationship Between Theology and Metaphysics in Al-Farabi’s Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to examine and discuss Al-Fârâbî’s understanding of the relationship between theology and metaphysics based on his interpretation of Aristotle’s contribution to this problem through the perspective of Late Greek Commentaries on Metaphysics. The research starts from the underlying assumption that Al-Fârâbî’s understanding of this relationship was contrary to the generally accepted view that Aristotle’s Metaphysics was exclusively devoted to theological problems, which was the basis of the standpoint that in Metaphysics the subject of metaphysics as a science is identical to what it should be the task of Islamic theology. In this way, I wish to emphasize the importance of Al-Fârâbî, for he was the first Islamic philosopher who, in his approach, included both aspects of Metaphysics: theological and ontological, and thus, above all, opposed the interpretation of the Metaphysics, which identifies metaphysics with Islamic theology.
