The volume brings together seventeen studies on Avicenna by Dimitri Gutas, written over the past twenty-five years. They aim to establish Avicenna’s historical and philosophical context as a means to determining his philosophical project and the orientations of his thought. They deal with his life and works, his method, his epistemology, and his later reception in the Islamic world, ending with a programmatic essay on the state of the field of Avicennan studies and future agenda. Occasioned by issues raised in Gutas’s monograph on Avicenna and the Aristotelian Tradition (whose second edition has just appeared), they form a substantive complement to it. For this reprint, a number of the essays have been reset and accordingly revised and updated. Provided with exhaustive indexes of names, places, subjects, and technical terms, the volume constitutes a new and major research tool for the study of Avicenna and his heritage.

Through close study of Avicenna's statements and major works, Dimitri Gutas traces Avicenna's own sense of his place in the Aristotelian tradition and the history of philosophy in Islam, and provides an introduction to reading his philosophical works by delineating the approach most consistent with Avicenna's intention and purpose in philosophy. The second edition of this foundational work, which has quickened fruitful research into the philosopher in the last quarter century, is completely revised and updated, and adds a new final chapter summarizing Avicenna's philosophical project. It is also enlarged with the addition of a new appendix which offers a critical inventory of Avicenna's authentic works, updating the work of Mahdavi (1954) with additional information on all manuscripts and important editions and translations. Its usefulness enhanced, the book provides primary orientation to Avicenna's philosophy and works and constitutes an indispensable research tool for their study. Winner of the I. R. Iran World Award for the Book of the Year 2014

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.

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.

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.

This book, first published in 1958, examines the life and works of Avicenna, one of the most provocative figures in the history of thought in the East. It shows him in the right historical perspective, as the product of the impact of Greek thought on Islamic teachings against the background of the Persian Renaissance in the tenth century. His attitude can be of guidance to those in the East who are meeting the challenge of Western civilization; and to those in the West who have yet to find a basis on which to harmonize scientific with spiritual values.
