Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the “prince of physicians,” Avicenna made enormous contributions to the fields of medicine, natural history, metaphysics, and religion. His use of Aristotelian logic and his work on the concept of “being” opened the door for a rationalist study of religion, influencing the later Christian philosophers Aquinas, Descartes, and Kant. Avicenna’s monumental Canon of Medicine is regarded as possibly the greatest medical work ever. Available in a Latin translation in Europe one hundred years after his death, it continued to be used there for the next six centuries.

This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic allegory is the product of a cohesive literary tradition to which few contributed as significantly as Ibn Sina (Avicenna), the eleventh-century Muslim philosopher. Peter Heath here offers a detailed examination of Avicenna's contribution, paying special attention to Avicenna's psychology and poetics and to the ways in which they influenced strains of theological, mystical, and literary thought in subsequent Islamic—and Western—intellectual and religious history. Heath begins by showing how Avicenna's writings fit into the context and general history of Islamic allegory and explores the interaction among allegory, allegoresis, and philosophy in Avicenna's thought. He then provides a brief introduction to Avicenna as an historical figure. From there, he examines the ways in which Avicenna's cosmological, psychological, and epistemological theories find parallel, if diverse, expression in the disparate formats of philosophical and allegorical narration. Included in this book is an illustration of Avicenna's allegorical practice. This takes the form of a translation of the Mi'raj Nama (The Book of the Prophet Muhammad's Ascent to Heaven), a short treatise in Persian generally attributed to Avicenna. The text concludes with an investigation of the literary dimension Avicenna's allegorical theory and practice by examining his use of description metaphor. Allegory and Philosophy in Avicenna is an original and important work that breaks new ground by applying the techniques of modern literary criticism to the study of Medieval Islamic philosophy. It will be of interest to scholars and students of medieval Islamic and Western literature and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avicenna (Ibn Sina) is the most famous scientist . . . and of the most famous of all races, places, and times. George Sarton Introduction to the History of Science Vol. I Dr. Arya has provided an excellent collection of essays on the most profound thinker of the Middle Ages, Ibn Sina--known in the West as Avicenna. These essential writings covering all of the most fundamental aspects of this profound thinker. He was a powerful and influential force in medieval western thought, influencing the Augustinianism of the Franciscans, the religious philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas, and the development of western logic and medicine. The Middle Ages is probably the least understood-and therefore the most misunderstood-period in western history, often referred to as the "Dark Ages" based on the assumption that little intellectual activity occurred . . . . Professor Arya seeks to correct that deficiency with "The Essential Avicenna" describes the core elements of Avicenna's original and complex understanding of our world and our place in it. I highly recommend it. Vern Denning, Ph.D. ProfessorEmeritus, Philosophy Indian River State College Many propositions formulated by Avicenna, were adopted by St. Thomas Aquinas, and were adapted by Spinoza to the idea of self-existing substance. Paviz Moremege Columbia University Press In Essential Avicenna, Professor Arya has assembled a superb collection of essays which will be an excellent reading choice for anyone who are interested in the history of Medieval philosophy and theology. These essays are comprehensive in nature and focus on Avicenna's influence in the Medieval period and specific topics related to his thought. In the introduction, Professor Arya provides an excellent biographical sketch, an overview of key components of Avicenna's philosophy providing a fascinating comparison of Avicenna's thought with prominent Medieval philosophers, such as, Averroes, St. Thomas Aquinas, Roger Bacon, Meister Eckhart, and Al-Ghazali. An edition of real excellence. Mark C. Herman, Ph.D. Professor of History Florida Southwestern State College Dr. Michael P. Arya has a Doctorate in Economic Education. He taught Economics at Lakeland College in Wisconsin, University of West Virginia, University of South Florida and Florida South Western College (formerly Edison State College) for more than thirty years. He was a recipient of the Thomas A. Edison Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1991. He lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eleventh-century philosopher and physician Abu Ali ibn Sina (d. A.D. 1037) was known in the West by his Latinized name Avicenna. An analysis of the sources and evolution of Avicenna's metaphysics, this book focuses on the answers he and his predecessors gave to two fundamental pairs of questions: what is the soul and how does it cause the body; and what is God and how does He cause the world? To respond to these challenges, Avicenna invented new concepts and distinctions and reinterpreted old ones. The author concludes that Avicenna's innovations are a turning point in the history of metaphysics. Avicenna's metaphysics is the culmination of a period of synthesis during which philosophers fused together a Neoplatonic project (reconciling Plato with Aristotle) with a Peripatetic project (reconciling Aristotle with himself). Avicenna also stands at the beginning of a period during which philosophers sought to integrate the Arabic version of the earlier synthesis with Islamic doctrinal theology (kalam). Avicenna's metaphysics significantly influenced European scholastic thought, but it had an even more profound impact on Islamic intellectual history—the philosophical problems and opportunities associated with the Avicennian synthesis continued to be debated up to the end of the nineteenth century.

Book excerpt: the philosophers in the West, none, perhaps, is better known by name and less familiar in actual content of his ideas than the medieval Muslim philosopher, physician, minister and naturalist Abu Ali Ibn Sina, known since the days of the scholastics as Avicenna. In this book the author, himself a philosopher, and long known for his studies of Arabic thought, presents a factual account of Avicenna's philosophy. Setting the thinker in the context of his often turbulent times and tracing the roots and influences of Avicenna's ideas, this book offers a factual philosophical portrait. It details Avicenna's account of being as a synthesis between the seemingly irreconcilable extremes of Aristotelian eternalism and the creationism of monotheistic scripture. It examines Avicenna's distinctive theory of knowledge, his ideas about immortality and individuality, including the famous "floating man argument", his contributions to logic, and his probing thoughts on rhetoric and poetics.
