Among miscellaneous views on the relationship between people and the
state, there are some that believe the state must control the
relations between the human and the soul with an educational
purpose to bring about prosperity for human beings; a belief, which
was developed by Plato in ancient Greek and was explicated and
moderated by Farabi on the grounds he set for its development in
Islamic thought. In proposing their political views, Plato and Farabi
considered education as an essential concept and thought of the
state as obliged to make it come true without any limitation.
However, of the important questions that are posed to investigate
those views is how the human and his needs and abilities are
pictured, on the basis of which requirements are taken into account
and justified in the form of politico‐educational views to reach
perfection. Apparently, that picture shows lack of sureness about
humans’ ability to elevate themselves and inequalities among them
in using or taking advantage of reason. The purpose of picturing the
human being from the standpoint of the thinkers that believe in the
involvement of the state in education with a focus on anthropological
understanding of the leading pioneers of that view, i.e. Plato and
Farabi, is to gain a better appreciation of their politico‐educational
measures. A comparative elaboration on the anthropological
standpoints of those thinkers and their impact on their politico‐
educational views will follow a short introduction to Plato’s and
Farabi’s political thoughts and educational prescriptions. This paper
will show that the belief in inequality of human beings in using their
reason and sensual faculty, distrust in nature and different levels of
educability of human beings will necessitate their guidance or control
that will result in extremist views on the correction and purification
of the human being if followed meticulously.
