Abstract
This research has been carried out with the aim of achieving the components of a prosperous civilization in Farabi's opinions and a model equated with the current era. Because in order to build a civilization in today's transitional conditions, we need knowledge in the context of a realistic philosophical view, and it is not possible to build an alternative civilization without relying on tradition. Finding a flexible and stable model for human excellence in the context of a happy society is the ultimate hope of this painting. The research method is the library study of Farabi's opinions and then analyzing and modeling it according to today's concepts. It became clear that in his Utopia plan, Farabi presents a criterion for civilization and culture based on the constructivist view, the model of needs and the view of the originality of the individual as well as the collective. This sustainable network is a structure based on his special knowledge system, which, while satisfying all needs, gives a fundamental answer to the basic human need to achieve happiness in the light of moral perfection, in such a way that social and political thinkers can use this model as a criterion to develop appropriate strategies. design with any society. And finally, be guided to the point that despite the cultural eclecticism in the age of transition with the model taken from Farabi's plan in building a prosperous civilization based on the end of mankind, it is possible to create an alternative civilization plan.
