The great scholar Abu Nasr al-Farabi's works in philosophy, mathematics, music theory, and astronomy, as well as his socio-ethical treatises, played a colossal role in the development of medieval Eastern philosophical thought.

In the 1960s, Almaty quickly transformed into a true scientific center for studying al-Farabi's legacy. In 1975, UNESCO recognized Kazakhstan as the official homeland of the brilliant native of Otrar. Today, great attention is paid to al-Farabi's legacy in Kazakhstan. Central streets in many cities and one of the country's leading universities are named after him.

One of the leading specialists in the history of Kazakh national philosophy, who studies pressing issues in Farabi studies, teaches special courses on "History of Philosophy and Science" and "Philosophy and Law" to graduate and law students, and serves as a scientific advisor at the al-Farabi Center, Doctor of Philosophy, and Professor at al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Zhakypbek Altaev, shared with us insights into the invaluable legacy of the Great Teacher.
