Farabi’nin bilgi teorisinde nefsin hiss-i müşterek ve hayal güçlerinin önemli bir yeri bulunmaktadır. Çünkü bu iki güç, nefsin diğer güçlerinden elde edilen verileri bir araya getirerek bilgi formatına dönüştürür. Bir başka ifadeyle elde edilen bilgileri kavram haline getirir. Ona göre bir şeyin kavram haline gelmesi, bilen, bilinen ve bilme eyleminin aynileşmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Hiss-i müşterek ve hayal kavramlarını incelemeden önce bilgi ve bilgi felsefesi demek olan epistemoloji kavramları üzerinde kısaca durmak istiyoruz. Çünkü bu iki kavram, epistemolojinin de temel kavramlarındandır.

Abstract
Many philosophers have thought about knowledge and ways of acquiring knowledge and have put forward different ideas. One of them is Farabi. In Farabi's theory of knowledge, the concepts of "imagination" and "common sense" are of great importance.
According to Farabi, the realization of the act of knowing happens in stages. The external senses, which we call the five senses, are involved in the first stage. With the external senses, the aspect of material assets belonging to each sense is perceived one by one. These sense data, which are perceived separately, are brought together in common sense, which is one of the inner sense powers, and a single judgment about that object is formed in the human mind. This information, which is formed about the object in the common sense, is transmitted to the imagination. By combining and separating this information, the imagination makes some true or false inferences about the object and transfers these inferences to the power of reason by storing them in itself.
