What is Metaphysics? An Analysis in the Context of Kitab al-Shifâ al-İlahiyyat of Ibn Sina

Abstract

According to Ibn Sina, metaphysics is concerned with the existent and the different determinations of the meaning of existence. In this respect metaphysics investigates the pure nature of the meaning of existence, its source and principles, how individual beings have emancipated from this principle, the essences it has brought to existence and its partition. In other words, metaphysics analyzes the general conditions of the existent inasmuch it exists, and the principles of existence. Furthermore because of its place on top of the theoretical philosophic disciplines and its comprehensive subject, metaphysics establishes the principles of the particular philosophical sciences. Thus metaphysics functions in three aspects, namely the general states of existence, God and its separate causes, and the principles of particular sciences. This understanding connects Ibn Sina with Farabi rather than philosophers who comprehend metaphysics as a theology like Kindi and others. This article examines how Ibn Sina conceives metaphysics with regard to his Kitab al-Shifa al-Ilahiyyat
