Abstract

Studying Avicenna's philosophy raised three main questions: Is his philosophy the continuation of Aristotle's philosophy? If yes, Can it be considered as the commentary to Aristotle philosophy? If not, what are the differences between his philosophy and the Aristotle's? Applying Averroes' views about Avicenna's philosophy, the present paper is reviewing the differences according to this important commentator of Aristotle- regardless of his critics of Avicenna and the answers to him. The Averroes’s point of view can be considered from three aspects: the phrases that show the differences, the Fundamental principles, and the philosophical details. Averroes believed the philosophy of Avicenna is different from Aristotle's in more than fifty subjects and isn’t the continuation of it.
