About this ebook

A concise introductory guide. Why does anything dependent exist, and what can a person know about the self without sensing the body? This original English guide separates Ibn Sina’s argument for the Necessary Existent from the flying-person thought experiment, then explores essence, existence, natural philosophy, and the soul. It presents objections and limits rather than turning either argument into a slogan. Includes eighteen chapters, an invented digital-self case, a glossary, and annotated sources. A critical introduction, not a work by Ibn Sina or medical advice.
