N2  - This book is an attempt to present to the general reader the life and works of Avicenna, or lbn Sina, who is beyond doubt the most provocative figure in the history of thought in the East. It is not a defence of him and his system, nor a critique of his philosophy. During his lifetime he was deliberately scornful of defenders and critics alike; he could not think better of them now that a thousand years have gone by. With his position amply justified, and after that extended period when his name hung on the lips of physicians and philosophers from the borders of china to the cloisters of medieval  Paris and Oxford, it seems best to let him speak for himself
