Скачать или смотреть The Story of IBN SINA (AVICENNA) — In 5 Minutes

Most people assume that knowledge begins with experience. We see, we hear, we touch, and then we understand.

Avicenna, the 10th-century Persian polymath, believed this was backward.

His most famous thought experiment, "The Floating Man," asks you to imagine a person created in a void—no sight, no sound, no touch, no memory. Avicenna claimed this man would still know one thing with absolute certainty: that he exists.

This idea wasn't mysticism; it was a radical philosophical claim: Consciousness is immediately present, and the self does not emerge from the world—the world appears to the self.

This video dives into the life and three monumental ideas of Ibn Sina (Avicenna):

The Floating Man: His revolutionary theory of consciousness.

Essence & Existence: The separation that redefined theology and metaphysics.

The Necessary Being: His logical proof for the existence of God as an explanatory principle.

Learn why The Prince of Physicians' ideas shaped medicine for 500 years and quietly laid the groundwork for modern philosophy of mind.
