Avicennianism

Avicennianism refers to the philosophical ideas of Avicenna, a Persian thinker from the Islamic Golden Age. He integrated Aristotelian philosophy with Islamic teachings, particularly in areas like metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology. Avicenna emphasized the importance of reason and intellect in understanding the nature of existence and God. One of his key contributions is the concept of the "Necessary Being," which he used to argue for the existence of God as the ultimate source of all reality. His work laid the groundwork for later philosophical and scientific developments, influencing both Islamic and Western thought.
