This volume focuses on Ibn Sina - the Avicenna of the Latin West -
and the enormous impact of his philosophy in both the Islamic and
Christian worlds. Jules Janssens opens with a new introductory
article, surveying the position of work in the field. The next
studies look at Ibn Sina's work and thought, inspired by
Alexandrian Neoplatonism on the one hand, and the Qur'an on the
other, notably his views on the relationship between God and the
world, within the context of Islam. There follow explorations of
Ibn Sina's influence on later philosophers, first within the
Islamic world and with particular reference to al-Ghazzali, but
also, once translated into Latin, in the scholastic world of the
West, on figures such as Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, and
above all Henry of Ghent.
