Avicennism

Avicennism refers to the philosophical system developed by the Persian thinker Avicenna (Ibn Sina), prominent in the medieval Islamic world. It primarily combines Aristotelian philosophy with Islamic teachings, emphasizing the relationship between existence, essence, and the nature of the soul. Avicenna is known for his ideas on metaphysics, particularly the distinction between necessary and contingent beings. His work influenced both Islamic and European philosophy, especially during the Renaissance, as he explored concepts of knowledge, existence, and the nature of God, contributing significantly to the fields of philosophy, science, and medicine.
