Abstract
This article examines the relationship between metaphysics, knowledge, the human soul and ethical development in Ibn Sina’s philosophy. Using historical contextualization, conceptual analysis and a critical comparison of selected studies, it investigates how distinctions between essence and existence, necessity and possibility, and sensory and intellectual cognition contribute to a coherent account of human understanding. The discussion draws primarily on the supplied Central Asian scholarship and supplements it with specialist studies to clarify contested interpretations. It argues that Ibn Sina’s philosophical significance lies in the organization of different questions within a rational explanatory framework rather than in a collection of isolated achievements. Particular attention is given to causal dependence, the interpretation of self-awareness and the connection between intellectual cultivation and moral responsibility. The article also distinguishes historical reconstruction from contemporary educational applications. Its contribution is an integrated reading that preserves the specificity of Ibn Sina’s concepts while identifying questions they can still bring to philosophical education.
