A Compendium on the Soul by Avicenna (Ibn Sina)
Avicenna's A Compendium on the Soul—a philosophical treatise exploring the nature, origin, and immortality of the soul, synthesizing Aristotelian, Neoplatonic, and Islamic thought. Translated by Edward Abbott van Dyck, narrated with full subtitles.
📖 About the Work
In this philosophical treatise, Avicenna explores the nature, origin, and immortality of the soul, drawing from Aristotelian and Neoplatonic traditions while integrating his unique insights. The work addresses fundamental questions about human existence, consciousness, and the relationship between the soul and the body. Avicenna's influence on both Islamic and Western philosophy is profound, and this compendium remains a key text in understanding medieval philosophical thought on the soul.
✍️ About Avicenna (Ibn Sina)

His works—especially The Book of Healing and The Canon of Medicine—established him as one of the most influential thinkers of the medieval world.
