Abstract

The De Anima treatise (Kitāb al-nafs) of Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā, 980–1037) has important implications for the disputes over the interpretation of Aristotle's compelling work Πєρì (psi upsilon chi hat eta varsigma ) (peri psuchēs, De Anima). It also has significant implications regarding the course of development of Modern European philosophy and the unfolding of contemporary debates of the philosophy of mind and phenomenology.
