Avicennism, as a book category, encompasses works on the philosophy, science, and legacy of Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna, 980–1037), including his system of metaphysics, logic, psychology, and medicine. Titles in this genre examine core doctrines—such as the distinction between essence and existence, the proof of the Necessary Existent, emanationist cosmology, and the “Flying Man” thought experiment—alongside Avicenna’s major texts (e.g., The Book of Healing, The Canon of Medicine, The Deliverance, The Pointers and Reminders). The category includes translations, commentaries, critical editions, and scholarly studies of Avicenna’s reception and debate in Islamic theology and philosophy (e.g., al-Ghazālī, Suhrawardī, Mullā Ṣadrā), as well as his transmission into medieval Latin thought (“Latin Avicennism”) and broader cross-cultural influence. It covers introductions, monographs, anthologies, and comparative works tracing Avicenna’s enduring impact on ideas about knowledge, being, mind, and medicine.
