Islamic Allegory Is The Product Of A Cohesive Literary Tradition To Which Few Contributed As Significantly As Ibn Sina (avicenna), The Eleventh-century Muslim Philosopher. Peter Heath Here Offers A Detailed Examination Of Avicenna's Contribution, Paying Special Attention To Avicenna's Psychology And Poetics And To The Ways In Which They Influenced Strains Of Theological, Mystical, And Literary Thought In Subsequent Islamic - And Western - Intellectual And Religious History. Heath Begins By Showing How Avicenna's Writings Fit Into The Context And General History Of Islamic Allegory And Explores The Interaction Among Allegory, Allegoresis, And Philosophy In Avicenna's Thought. He Then Provides A Brief Introduction To Avicenna As An Historical Figure. From There, He Examines The Ways In Which Avicenna's Cosmological, Psychological, And Epistemological Theories Find Parallel, If Diverse, Expression In The Disparate Formats Of Philosophical And Allegorical Narration. Included In This Book Is An Illustration Of Avicenna's Allegorical Practice. This Takes The Form Of A Translation Of The Mi'raj Nama (the Book Of The Prophet Muhammad's Ascent To Heaven), A Short Treatise In Persian General
