Annotation: This article analyzes the philosophical views of one of the representatives of Eastern philosophy, Sayyididdin al-Farghani, on knowledge and enlightenment from the perspective of integration with modern technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. In his work Mashāriq al-darārī, al-Farghani interprets knowledge as a means of attaining divine truth. According to him, true enlightenment is realized through the heart and spiritual purity. This study presents a comparative analysis of his spiritual-intellectual approach with modern knowledge technologies — such as information processing, machine learning, and algorithmic reasoning in artificial intelligence systems. It integrates insights from both Eastern and Western philosophies, contemporary scientific articles on artificial intelligence, and ethical-philosophical sources. The article explores how al-Farghani’s principles of attaining knowledge and truth could provide a theoretical foundation for today's processes of acquiring knowledge through AI. It further identifies the similarities and differences between human reasoning and computer algorithms. In addition, the article highlights the potential application of al-Farghani’s ideas in AI-based educational systems. Through this approach, it seeks to reveal pathways for achieving technological advancement grounded in spiritual values.
