Avicenna
Über den Autor
Avicenna, also known as Ibn Sina, was a Persian polymath who made significant contributions to various fields, including medicine, philosophy, and science. He is best known for his works in medicine, particularly 'The Canon of Medicine', which was a standard medical text in Europe and the Islamic world for centuries. His writings synthesized the medical knowledge of the time, combining the ideas of earlier Greek physicians with his own observations, and laid the foundation for modern medicine. Avicenna's philosophical works also explored metaphysics and epistemology, influencing later philosophers and scientists.
