Ibn Sina - Master of All Sciences (Philosophy)
5 · 11 min · 2022
Ibn Sina, otherwise known in the West as "Avicenna", was an intellectual titan of the Islamic Golden Age. Deriving the cosmological argument for the existence of God, and articulating a systemic proof for human consciousness, Ibn Sina's impact on Islamic philosophy and metaphysics cannot be understated.
Hailing from Afshona in modern day Uzbekistan, Ibn Sina would take heavy inspiration from another local central Asian philosopher, Al-Farabi, motivating his study of the philosophical sciences. As well as an astute thinker, Ibn Sina was talented in practical matters as well, often seen treating patients as a physician - for which he is also remembered.
A true polymath and scientific genius, Ibn Sina would earn the title as the Master of All Sciences for his broad contributions to scientific disciplines, completing over 400 highly influential works. This is the fourth video in the Oases of Wisdom series on Islamic Philosophers.
