"Avicenne" by Bernard Carra de Vaux is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the philosophical movement in the Islamic orient during the era of Avicenne, also known as Ibn Sina, highlighting his contributions and the context of thought surrounding him. The text delves into the intricacies of philosophy, theology, and metaphysics as they were understood and developed in the Islamic world. The opening of "Avicenne" introduces the reader to its foundational premise, emphasizing that the book is not solely focused on Avicenne's philosophical system, but rather on the broader philosophical movement that evolved in the East between the advent of the Hegira and Avicenne's death. The author outlines the key scientific disciplines that will be addressed in the text—specifically logic, physics, psychology, and metaphysics—and stresses the need for readers to approach the subject matter without bias, allowing ideas to unfold naturally. The introduction also sets the stage for a discussion on the dogmatic themes present in the Quran, and the philosophical responses that arose from these teachings, marking the beginning of a detailed examination of Avicenne's impact on Muslim philosophy.
