Le Platon de Fârâbi is a concise French-language volume that explores the reception and interpretation of Plato’s philosophy in the work of the Iranian scholar Fârâbi. Drawing on both classical sources and contemporary scholarship, the author examines how Fârâbi engages with Platonic dialogues, re‑contextualising key concepts such as the theory of forms, the nature of the soul, and the role of dialectic within an Islamic intellectual tradition. The book offers readers a clear overview of cross‑cultural philosophical dialogue, highlighting the ways in which ancient Greek thought was adapted and transformed in Persian scholarly circles. Though brief at 88 pages, it serves as a useful introduction for students of philosophy, comparative religion, and the history of ideas.
