INVISIBLE COLLEGE
 |
This website is dedicated to the medieval philosopher, encyclopedic scientist Abu Nasr al-Farabi (870-950). The concept of the site is based on the idea of creating an interactive platform for non-institutional interaction between scholars of Farabi studies, students, undergraduates, doctoral students of universities, as well as everyone who wants to get acquainted with the heritage of the great philosopher around the world.
“Invisible College” refers to a group of independent scholars united by common interests, interacting without the help of any organizations or institutions.
The term “Invisible College” was created in the 40-50s of the XVII century by members of the hobby club in England, which included renowned natural scientists and intellectuals of that time. The Royal Society of London (the British equivalent of the Academy of Sciences) was later formed on the basis of this club.
