This article provides a comparative analysis of the philosophical views of the great figures of Eastern philosophy, Abu Nasr al-Farabi and Abu Hamid al-Ghazali. In particular, Al-Farabi's political-philosophical concepts and Al-Ghazali's moral-spiritual views are studied in the context of their main works. The study reveals similarities and differences in the interpretation of the concepts of state, society, human perfection and happiness. The results show that while Al-Farabi's rational-philosophical approach is dominant, Al-Ghazali's religious-moral and mystical approach is dominant.
