Through close study of Avicenna's statements and major works,
Dimitri Gutas traces Avicenna's own sense of his place in the
Aristotelian tradition and the history of philosophy in Islam, and
provides an introduction to reading his philosophical works by
delineating the approach most consistent with Avicenna's intention
and purpose in philosophy. The second edition of this foundational
work, which has quickened fruitful research into the philosopher in
the last quarter century, is completely revised and updated, and
adds a new final chapter summarizing Avicenna's philosophical
project. It is also enlarged with the addition of a new appendix
which offers a critical inventory of Avicenna's authentic works,
updating the work of Mahdavi (1954) with additional information on
all manuscripts and important editions and translations. Its
usefulness enhanced, the book provides primary orientation to
Avicenna's philosophy and works and constitutes an indispensable
research tool for their study. Winner of the I. R. Iran World Award
for the Book of the Year 2014
