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.
