Avicenna: Holy Intellect and Prophetic Knowledge

Abstract

My intention in this text is to briefly summarize the Avicennian theory on prophecy and the Holy Intellect, which belong to human nature and are rooted in his metaphysical conception of reality and in his position on human psychology, without pretending to offer a new vision or interpretation different from those already presented.

Keywords: Avicenna; Prophecy; Holy Intellect.
