Summary/Abstract: Abu Ali ibn Sina is one of the greatest philosophers. His work which had the crucial influence on the Western thought was Al-Shifâ (Healing), which is a kind of a philosophical Summa or encyclopaedia in eighteen volumes. This work is also significant because it skilfully combined Aristotle’s teaching with Neoplatonism. This paper offers a brief perception of Avicenna’s thoughts and deeds. For the contemporary context, the extinction of philosophical thought is not important, but its different epistemological position is needed.
