Summary/Abstract: In this diligently written paper, the author presents the teachings of Ibn Sina (Avicenna) – one of the key figures in Islamic philosophy. At the beginning, he mentions the circumstances in which Ibn Sina was born and the vast opus of his works, whereupon he analyzes being and existence. After that, he discusses the arch of ascend and the arch of descend and also the transcendence of discursive knowledge in order to achieve enlightenment. A discourse about visionary narrations naturally follows. It is noteworthy that, according to the author, the philosophy of Ibn Sina, as well as the whole of Islamic philosophy, is essentially prophetic philosophy and that all its aspects are marked with religious significance in this way or that. The article also briefly reviews the eastern philosophy, which even today attracts the attention of many researchers who want to reconstruct it based on surviving works. In the end, a summarized presentation of Ibn Sina’s rediscovery is provided.
