Ibn Sina (in Persian: ابن سینا) known in the West as Avicenna (from the medieval Latin Avicenna), is a Persian philosopher and physician, born August 7, 980 in Afshana, near Bukhara, in present-day Uzbekistan and died in August 1037 in ,[2]. He is the author of reference works in medicine and philosophy, as well as related sciences, such as astronomy, alchemy, and psychology written mainly in classical Arabic.

His disciples called him sheikh el-raïs, that is to say “prince of scholars”, Master par excellence, or even the third master (after Aristotle and Al-Fārābī).

His main works are the medical encyclopedia Qanûn (“Canon of Medicine”) and his two scientific encyclopedias the Book of Healing (of the Soul) and Danesh-e Nâma (“Book of Science”).

In his Qanûn, he carries out a vast medical-philosophical synthesis with the logic of Aristotle, combined with neo-Platonism, raising the dignity of medicine as an intellectual discipline, compatible with monotheism. Its influence will be predominant in the medieval Latin West until the 16th century.

If his medical work is only of historical interest, his philosophical work is located at the crossroads of Eastern and Western thought. It remains studied at the beginning of the 21st century both within the framework of Islam and academic philosophy.
