I am not responsible to live up to anyone’s expectations of me, much in the same way others are not limited by my expectations of them. No one can make me feel inferior without my consent.

The Contribution of Ibn Sina to the development of Earth sciences) ib al-makhlūqāt wa gharā'ib al-mawjūdāt · Arabic star names · Book of Optics · Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity · Islamic calendar · Star chart · Tabula Rogeriana · The Book of Healing The Book of Healing (Arabic: کتاب الشفاء, romanized: Kitāb al-Shifāʾ; Latin: Sufficientia; also known as The Cure or Assepha) is a scientific and philosophical encyclopedia written by Abu Ali ibn Sīna (aka Avicenna) from medieval Persia, near Bukhara in Maverounnahr. He most likely began to compose the book in 1014, completed it around 1020, and published it in 1027. This work is Ibn Sina's major work on science and philosophy, and is intended to "cure" or "heal" ignorance of the soul. Thus, despite its title, it is not concerned with medicine, in contrast to Avicenna's earlier The Canon of Medicine (5 vols.) which is, in fact, medical. The book is divided into four parts: logic, natural sciences, mathematics (a quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy), and metaphysics. It was influenced by ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle; Hellenistic thinkers such as Ptolemy; and earlier Persian/Muslim scientists and philosophers, such as Al-Kindi (Alkindus), Al-Farabi (Alfarabi), and Al-Bīrūnī.

He also writes that strong negative emotions can have a negative effect on the vegetative functions of an individual and may even lead to death in some cases. He also discusses hypnosis ( al Wahm al-Amil), stating that one could create conditions in another person so that they accepts the reality of hypnosis. Avicenna was also the first to divide human perception into the five external senses (the classical senses of hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch known since ancient history) and the five internal senses which he discovered himself: [7] :366Nahyan A.

I didn't want to skim through it just for the sake of reading. Early Islamic metaphysics, imbued as it is with Islamic theology, distinguishes more clearly than Aristotelianism the difference between essence and existence. [ citation needed] Whereas existence is the domain of the contingent and the accidental, essence endures within a being beyond the accidental. The philosophy of Ibn Sīnā, particularly that part relating to metaphysics, owes much to al-Farabi. The search for a truly definitive Islamic philosophy can be seen in what is left to us of his work. Following al-Farabi's lead, Avicenna initiated a full-fledged inquiry into the question of being, in which he distinguished between essence ( mahiat) and existence ( wujud). He argued that the fact of existence can not be inferred from or accounted for by the essence of existing things and that form and matter by themselves cannot interact and originate the movement of the universe or the progressive actualization of existing things. Existence must, therefore, be due to an agent-cause that necessitates, imparts, gives, or adds existence to an essence. To do so, the cause must be an existing thing and coexist with its effect.

Lost for words, najwa has described every living emotion that runs within me that sometimes I cannot express into words. Relatable. Can't wait to stumble across it again soon. The Book of Healing ( Arabic: کتاب الشفاء Kitab Al-Shifaʾ, Latin: Sanatio) is a scientific and philosophical encyclopedia written by the Persian polymath Abū Alī ibn Sīnā (Avicenna) from Asfahana, near Bukhara in Greater Persia. Despite its English title, it is not in fact mainly concerned with medicine: the Latin title Sanatio is a mistranslation of Shifa, which, even though it means 'healing', has the secondary meaning of "satiation", "completion", or "wholeness", the meaning most-likely intended by Ibn Sīnā. (Note that, in English, the words, "whole" and "healthy" are semantically related.) Al-Burhan ( Demonstration), edited by A. E. Affifi. Cairo: Organisme General des Imprimeries Gouvernementales, 1956. (Volume I, Part 5 of al-Shifa’.) I am absolutely floored by this book, what a great reminder that vulnerability is a strength in a world that can often be so dark and cold when deprived of it.He wrote on the hypothetical syllogism [2] and on the propositional calculus, which were both part of the Stoic logical tradition. [28] He developed an original theory of “ temporally modalized” syllogistic [29] and made use of inductive logic, such as the methods of agreement, difference and concomitant variation which are critical to the scientific method.

It was a good book but the whole story of Job is always very confusing to me, even with the breakdown seen throughout this book. I understand the process that Job went through and what came out of it, but whenever the story of Job is talked about in church, pastors/teachers always talk about the beginning and the end of the story, but the actual nitty-gritty part of the book is always glossed over. Amber Haque (2004), "Psychology from Islamic Perspective: Contributions of Early Muslim Scholars and Challenges to Contemporary Muslim Psychologists", Journal of Religion and Health 43 (4): 357-377 [366] Ibn Sina made significant contributions to natural sciences (which he called Attabieyat), particularly in Earth sciences such as Islamic geography and geology. Part 2, Section 5, of The Book of Healing, contains his essay on mineralogy and meteorology, in six chapters: formation of mountains; the advantages of mountains in the formation of clouds; sources of water; origin of earthquakes; formation of minerals; and the diversity of earth’s terrain. These principles were later known in the Renaissance of Europe as the law of superposition of strata, the concept of catastrophism, and the doctrine of uniformitarianism. These concepts were also embodied in the Theory of the Earth by James Hutton in the Eighteenth century C.E. Academics such as Toulmin and Goodfield (1965), commented on Avicenna's contribution: "Around A.D. 1000, Avicenna was already suggesting a hypothesis about the origin of mountain ranges, which in the Christian world, would still have been considered quite radical eight hundred years later". [6] Avicenna's scientific methodology of field observation was also original in the Earth sciences, and remains an essential part of modern geological investigations. [7] ed. F.
