Ibn Sinā

Japanese: イブン･シーナー（英語表記）Ibn Sīnā

980‐1038
His Latin name was Avicenna. He was also called Avicenna. He was an Islamic philosopher and physician. He was born near Bukhara and died in Hamadan. He showed genius from an early age, and by the age of 18, he was well versed in all academic fields except metaphysics, and was also renowned as a physician. He eventually began studying Aristotle's metaphysics, and eventually completed his own unique metaphysics of existence. As his father was a sympathizer of the Ismailis, he was also sympathetic to the movement. He was acquainted with many nobles, but because of the public's jealousy of his young genius and his relationship with the Ismailis, he sometimes held high positions in the courts of kings and princes, but he lived a life of wandering and in constant danger.

ラテン名はアビセンナAvicenna。アビケンナとも呼ぶ。イスラム哲学者，医学者。ブハラ近郊に生まれ，ハマダーンで没した。幼少のころから天才を発揮し，18歳の時には形而上学以外の全学問分野に精通し，医師としても名声が高まった。やがてアリストテレスの形而上学研究に手を染め，ついに独自の存在の形而上学を完成した。彼の父がイスマーイール派の同調者であったため，彼自身もこの運動に共感をもっていた。多くの諸侯の知遇を得たが，若年の天才に対する世間の嫉妬やイスマーイール派との関係のため，時に王侯の宮廷で高位を得ることもあったが，絶えず身の危険を感じながら放浪の生涯を送った。
