السعادة في التقليد الفلسفي العربي الإسلامي الوسيط : الرغبة و مسألة الانهمام بالذات

Abstract EN

The question of happiness constitutes in medieval Arabic philosophy a complex issue, and we can, as an example of this, the works of north Al-Farabi and Al-kindi.

In this context, the question of desire will allow us to see that both philosophers want to establish a philosophy of the subject, thereby allowing society to live in happiness.

Starting from the idea of happiness or that of avoiding unhappiness, the goal is the same, i.e, to show that happiness depends on education through teaching or fallowing the rules to help oneself avoiding sadness.

Between the will of desire or desire of the will the controversy of the philosophy of the subject became at the center of interest in medieval Arabic philosophy.
