Ibn Sina (980-1037) known as Avicenna in Latin played a considerable role in the development of both Eastern and Western philosophy and science. His contributions to the fields of logic natural science psychology metaphysics theology and even medicine were vast. His work was to have a significant impact on Thomas Aquinas among others who explicitly and frequently drew upon the ideas of his Muslim predecessor. Avicenna also affected the thinking of the great Islamic theologian al-Ghazali who asserted that if one could show the incoherence of Avicenna s thought then one would have demonstrated the incoherence of philosophy in general. But Avicenna s influence is not confined to the medieval period. His logic natural philosophy and metaphysics are still taught in the Islamic world as living philosophy and many contemporary Catholic and evangelical Christian philosophers continue to encounter his ideas through Aquinas s work. Using a small handful of novel insights Avicenna not only was able to address a host of issues that had troubled earlier philosophers in both the ancient Hellenistic and medieval Islamic worlds but also fundamentally changed the direction of philosophy in the Islamic East as well as in Jewish and Christian milieus. Despite Avicenna s important place in the history of ideas there has been no single volume that both recognizes the complete range of his intellectual activity and provides a rigorous analysis of his philosophical thinking. This book fills that need. In Avicenna Jon McGinnis provides a general introduction to the thinker s intellectual system and offers a careful philosophical analysis of major aspects of his work in clear prose that will be accessible to students as well as to specialists in Islamic studies philosophy and the history of science.
