Avicenna (980­1037) was an Iranian philosopher and physician. He wrote
the influential yet controversial Book of Healing (Kitab ash-Shifa) which
contains numerous treatises on topics including Aristotelian logic, the
natural sciences, metaphysics and psychology. His own philosophy went
against orthodox Islamic thinking. He denied the concept of personal
immortality and believed that God had no interest in individuals.
