This article explores Abu Nasr Farabi’s philosophical conception of a harmoniously perfect personality as a central element of his ethical and political thought. The study examines how Farabi integrates the ideals of intellectual and moral excellence, focusing on the development of reason, virtue, and social responsibility. Special attention is given to his concept of the "virtuous city" and the role of the ideal human being within it. Through comparative analysis, the paper also highlights the influence of Aristotelian and Islamic philosophical traditions in shaping Farabi's vision of human perfection. The findings demonstrate that for Farabi, the harmoniously perfect personality serves as both the foundation of a just society and the highest goal of individual development.
