Summary/Abstract: This article is based on a lecture the author delivered in Cambridge in March 1951, which discussed the life, writings and influence of the Arab philosopher, Avicenna. Avicenna was born in 980 at Bukhara, and died in 1037. He lived his prodigiously active life in Persia, but nearly all his works are written in Arabic. Equally renowned as a physician and a philosopher, Avicenna shares the chief place in the medieval intellectual history of Islam with the Spanish Arab Averroes (1126–1198). This paper was firstly published in 1951 in the 32nd volume of the New Blackfriars academic journal which is formally linked with the Dominican Order, to which the author himself belonged.
