Avicenna's Philosophical approach in commentary on Theology of Aristotle

Abstract

One of the neglected works of Avicenna in understanding her intellectual and philosophical system is his comments on the ethology attributed to Aristotle. These essays, which are written in a scattered manner on the topics of ethology, include various topics of theology, psychology, minds and the first principles, the perception of the truth of the first origin and many other issues. The important axes of the Sheikh's attention in these essays are the first psychology and the other connection of the soul with the first principle. In the psychology axis, in addition to the explanation, Sheikh's comments also have a critical aspect, and in particular, he does not accept the existence of the soul before the creation of the body, or the availability of perceptions and knowledge before the connection with the body.
