Ibn Sina (ابن سینا), commonly known as Avicenna in the West (/ˌævɪˈsɛnə, ˌɑːvɪ-/; c. 980 – June 1037), was a Persian[4][5][6] polymath who is regarded as one of the most significant physicians, astronomers, philosophers, and writers of the Islamic Golden Age,[7] and the father of early modern medicine.[8][9][10] Sajjad H. Rizvi has called Avicenna "arguably the most influential philosopher of the pre-modern era".[11] He was a Muslim Peripatetic philosopher influenced by Greek Aristotelian philosophy. Of the 450 works he is believed to have written, around 240 have survived, including 150 on philosophy and 40 on medicine.[12]
