"The philosopher and physician Abu Ali ibn Sina (d. 1037 CE), known in the West by his Latinized name Avicenna, was one of the most influential thinkers of the Islamic and Latin Middle Ages. The articles in this volume address fundamental issues in Avicenna's psychology, epistemology, natural philosophy and metaphysics. Also described in this volume is a hoard of photostats of Avicenna manuscripts recently uncovered at the American Research Center in Egypt."--BOOK JACKET.
