2. 2. Avicenna On Theology

   

   A systematic philosophical theology that uses metaphysical argument to establish the existence and unity of God as the Necessary Being, distinguishes divine essence from attributes, and explains creation and the cosmos through an emanative hierarchy of intellects; it analyzes the nature and immortality of the human soul, the process of prophecy and illumination, and the compatibility of religious doctrines with rational demonstration, setting out a comprehensive synthesis of Neoplatonic and Aristotelian principles to account for God, causation, and ultimate human perfection.
