イスラームが生んだ最高の哲学者、イブン・スィーナー(980-1037年)とその著作、歴史的背景を概観し、イスラム思弁哲学(カラーム)との関係に注意を払いながらその思想を紹介する一冊です。論理学上の功績や、人の魂と力についての理論、最も有名な著作の『医学典範』と『治癒の書』の関係性、存在の形而上学などに触れますが、特に空中浮遊人間説(思考実験)と神の存在証明に重きを置いています。最終章ではアル・ガザーリー、アル・スフラワーディー、ファクル・アル=ディーン・アル=ラーズィーなど、後世の批判的反応にも触れながら、スィーナーの遺産をイスラム世界とラテン・キリスト教の双方から考察します。

This book provides an introduction to the most important philosopher of the Islamic world, Ibn Sīnā, often known in English by his Latinized name Avicenna. After introducing the man and his works, with an overview of the historical context in which he lived, the book devotes chapters to the different areas of Ibn Sīnā's thought. Among the topics covered are his innovations in logic, his theory of the human soul and its powers, the relation between his medical writings and his philosophy, and his metaphysics of existence. Particular attention is given to two famous arguments: his flying man thought experiment and the so-called “demonstration of the truthful,” a proof for the existence of God as the Necessary Existent. A distinctive feature of the book is its attention to the relationship between Ibn Sīnā and Islamic rational theology (kalām): in which we see how Ibn Sīnā responded to this tradition in many areas of his thought. A final chapter looks at Ibn Sīnā's legacy in both the Islamic world and in Latin Christendom. Here Adamson focuses on the critical responses to Ibn Sīnā in subsequent generations by such figures as al-Ghazālī, al-Suhrawardī, and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī.
