Life and Scientific Personality:
He was born in approximately 370 (980-81) in Efşene village near Bukhara.
Thanks to Ibn al-Qifti and Ibn Abu Usaybia, the life story he wrote to his student Abu Ubeyd al-Czcânî and the supplementary information given by Cczcânî were conveyed by Ibn Abu Usaybia, there is more information about him compared to other Islamic philosophers.
He is famous for his title of Ibn Sînâ in the Islamic world and is also known with the title of "ash-sheikhr-reis" given to him by medieval scholars and thinkers in order to express his unique position in the field of science and philosophy. It has also been referred to with attributes such as "cellulite-hak, serefü'l-mulk, ed-düstur". It is generally known as Avicenna in the West and is described as "the prince of philosophers". His father, Abdullah, who was originally from Belh, was the ruler of Samani Nûh b. He settled in the capital city Bukhara during the Mansur period. It was stated that he had a good education and was close to Ismailis. As a result of this contact, his home turned into a center where topics related to philosophy, geometry and Indian mathematics were discussed. Finding himself in these debates, Avicenna became familiar with philosophical issues at an early age. Since Ibn Sînâ had an extraordinary intelligence, he attracted attention at a young age. First, he memorized the Quran; He studied language, literature, creed and fiqh.
Ibn Sînâ began to read the logic book of Porphyrios, named Îsâġūcî (Eisagoge) from Nâtilî, and made discussions within this framework. Satisfied with his outstanding success, his teacher advised his father not to engage in anything other than science. Thinking that his teacher was inadequate in the field of logic after a while, Ibn Sînâ began to read the works on the subject himself and examine the commentaries. Meanwhile, he read the five or six chapters of Euclid's Elements from Nâtilî again, and tried to decipher the rest of the book on his own. Then it passed to Ptolemy's al-Majisî (Almagest).
In the meantime, Ibn Sînâ continued his education in fiqh and developed his knowledge enough to be in debates, and later began to revise his books on logic and philosophy. During this period of one and a half years, he made progress in the fields of logic, mathematics and physics and turned to studying works in the field of metaphysics. In the meantime, although he read Aristotle's book named Mâ baʿde'ṭ-ṭabîʿa (Metaphysica) many times, he could not fully understand its content and the purpose of its author, probably because of its poor Arabic translation.
Having gained a great reputation in the fields of philosophy and medicine, Ibn Sînâ was the ruler of Sâmânî Nûh b. After Mansur fell seriously ill, he was invited to the palace. As a result of his joint work with the palace doctors, he achieved a relative success in the treatment of the sultan. In this way, Ibn Sînâ, who was brought to the palace doctor when he was only eighteen years old, entered the rich palace library and had the opportunity to read and examine medical works. In this library, which was destroyed after a while, he had the opportunity to read many physicians and thinkers he had never heard of before.
During his stay in Isfahan, Ibn Sînâ, who lived a relatively quiet life, suffered a great shock when his house and library were plundered after the Ghaznavid ruler Sultan Mesud conquered Isfahan. During this period, his health also deteriorated; He caught the common disease of the swordfish in his era. Ibn Sînâ, who tried to heal himself, seemed to regain his health for a while, but he could not recover completely. When Alaüddevle went on an expedition to Hamadan, while he was with him, he fell ill again on the way and died when they reached Hamadan. His grave is in Hamadan.
It is noted that Avicenna was very intelligent, hardworking, wladd, and had a personality that could not tolerate defeat in addition to his bad temper caused by excessive trust in his intelligence and knowledge.
