About Avicenna
Avicenna, also known as Ibn Sina, was a Persian polymath born in 980 CE in what is now Uzbekistan. He is best known for his contributions to philosophy, medicine, and science, notably his influential work "The Canon of Medicine," which served as a standard medical text in Europe and the Islamic world for centuries. Avicenna's philosophical writings, which synthesized Aristotelian and Neoplatonic thought, laid important foundations for both Islamic philosophy and the Western philosophical tradition.
