The Book of Healing
کتاب الشفاء (Kitab al-Shifa)
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
How can the ignorance and illness of the soul be healed through philosophical enlightenment?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Facing this vast encyclopedia that stands as the very emblem of the medieval Islamic golden age, I feel awe at the genius's yearning to cross the boundaries of every discipline and unify all the principles of the cosmos. For Ibn Sina, philosophy was no idle theorizing but the most potent remedy for the soul's sickness of ignorance. His journey to reach divine providence through logic and science moves deeply all who believe in the power of reason.
