AVICENAS UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ONTOLOGY AND THEOLOGY IN ARISTOTEL’S METAPHYISIC’S

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I analyse Avicenna’s understanding the relation between ontology and theology in Aristotle’s ‘Metaphysics’. My starting points are the Aristotle’s understanding of metaphysics and analysis of his very book ‘Methaphysics’, which is put together for the first time by Andronicos from Rhodos. Following this, I examine Avicenna’s understanding of Aristotle’s work. In the central part of this paper, I am explaining Avicenna’s synthesis in regard to the Aristotle’s Metaphysics, which represents the original interpretation of relation between ontology, as science on being qua being, and theology, as science on God. My intention is to demonstrate Avicenna’s synthesis of these two disciplines, as well as his use of a concept of necessary being for understanding the metaphysics as both unique and coherent science.
