Ibn Sina, or Avicenna, is a pivotal figure in Islamic philosophy, renowned for his exploration of metaphysical concepts, particularly concerning the relationship between body and soul. This thesis investigates Ibn Sina's metaphysical framework, emphasizing his dualistic approach, the distinctions between substance and accidents, and the implications of his theories for understanding human existence and ethical considerations. By synthesizing Aristotelian and Neoplatonic ideas, Ibn Sina contributes significantly to the philosophical discourse on the nature of reality and the essence of being.
