This book deals with the philosophy of Ibn Sina - Avicenna as he was known in the Latin West- a Persian Muslim who lived in the eleventh century and who is considered one of the most important philosophers of that period. Although much has been written about him, and especially about his major philosophical work, Al-Shifa, nonetheless this book presents the rationalist Avicenna in an entirely new light, showing him to have presented a theory where our claims of knowledge about the world are in effect just that, and must therefore be underwritten by our faith in God.
