Book, Avicenna: the journey of the soul[LS]

Avicenna: The Journey of the Soul, or the search for knowledge, which Editora Perspectiva launches in the Studies collection, presents not only the rich Arab-Muslim thought of the Middle Ages (9th and 10th centuries), but also the translation and lucid and in-depth analysis of the allegorical-mystical text by Ibn Sînâ, the Avicenna (980-1037) - The Epistle of Hayy ibn Yaqzân. Rosalie Helena de Souza Pereira, with rigorous and clear language, will introduce the reader to the answers, full of Aristotelian categories framed in a Neo-Platonic framework, to the existential questions that still haunt man today: 'Where did we come from?', 'Where are we?' ', 'Where will we go?'. In the search for an agreement between philosophy and faith, this volume is an immersion in the universe of ideas of this great physician-philosopher - Avicenna - who marked Muslim, Jewish and Christian culture and, especially, the European university, freeing it from the limits of old scholasticism. An unmissable work not only for philosophers and scientists, but also for anyone interested in the humanities and students in general.
