IBN SINA AS A PHILOSOPHER: HIS VIEWS ON KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE
Аннотация
This article explores the philosophical contributions of Ibn Sina (Avicenna), with a particular focus on his views regarding knowledge and science. As one of the most influential thinkers of the Islamic Golden Age, Ibn Sina's theories on epistemology, the relationship between reason and revelation, and his methodology in scientific inquiry had a profound impact on both the Islamic and Western intellectual traditions. This article examines Ibn Sina’s concept of knowledge, his rational approach to understanding the natural world, and how his work helped to shape the foundations of modern scientific thought. Through his work, Ibn Sina bridged the gap between ancient Greek philosophy and later European intellectual movements, making lasting contributions to both philosophy and science.
