Abstract: This study serves fruit philosophical thought of Ibn Sina, known in the west as Aviccena and holds A-Sheikh Al-Rais, who is considered by ancient and modern philosophers as the most famous of Muslim philosophers. Al-Dhahbi described him as "the leader of Islamic philosophy". In 1950, to commemorate the thousandth anniversary of his birth, Dar al-Kutub al-Misriyya (Egyptian National Library) published a printed book of the works they had stored in Egypt. Ibn Sina's most famous works are philosophy and medicine. His philosophical views have attracted the attention of Western thinkers for several centuries, and his books have become one of the most important sources in philosophy. In medicine, his great work, al-Qanun (The Canon), was translated into Latin towards the end of the twelfth century, and became a source of reference for medical studies at European universities until the end of the seventeenth century. This paper will discuss Ibn Sina's philosophical views in terms of aspects of theology, emanation, cosmology, ontology and axiology.
