Ibn Sina

This book presents a comprehensive study of the life of Avicenna, known by the title of "Sheikh president", one of the greatest encyclopedic scholars of Islamic civilization during the fifth century AH, who left an immortal imprint on the history of human thought.

The author reviews Avicenna's upbringing and his journey to seek knowledge, and reveals aspects of his excellence in various fields, from jurisprudence, literature and philosophy to medicine, mathematics and Natural Sciences. It also highlights his most prominent works that have been translated into many languages and contributed to the formation of scientific and philosophical thought in the East and the West.

The book also deals with Avicenna's views and intellectual innovations, which sometimes contradicted what was prevailing in his time, especially in psychological, natural and ideological issues, along with his research and discoveries, which are still today a source of inspiration and an important reference for researchers and those interested in the history of Science and philosophy.
