Oriental Wisdom of Ibn Sina from Henri Corbins view

Corbin regards Ibn sina as a predecessor in this orientation and inthis respect considers him as forerunner of Suhravardi. Henri Corbin holds that Ibn Sina's oriental philosophy is self-sufficient and opens the way for contemporary man.With this goal of opening Avicenian perspectives to the modern world he was the first thinker who took a brave step in this way. According to him Ibn Sina's philosophy in the East by keeping the celestial souls continues its way and Ghazzali's criticism had noeffect on this philosophy.Corbin was confronted by different concerns in western philosophy and believed that this oriental philosophy could be a suitable response to these crises.For this reason he believed in supremacy of Avicenian philosophy or oriental wisdom over the school of Ibn Rushd.He calls the method by which Ibn Sina's philosophy can be made modern interinorization. It can be said that by an inspiration of Ibn sina's angelology, soul by making a transformation in itself goes beyond this world and enter the world of archetypal images.In this way the imaginable world or ideas as a world of symbols again gains validity and modern man as well can participate in its experience.
