Pillars of self-consciousness in The philosophy of Avicenna

Abstract

The present study is based on the premise of an ancient Islamic philosophical debate about self-consciousness in Islamic philosophy and in a period prior to modernity and pre-modernity, which challenges the idea that these concepts are modern European concepts with pure privilege. It also tries to emphasize the premise that some of Avicenna's philosophical ideas represent a turning point for entering a new concept in the Islamic philosophical landscape of self _consciousness .This research focused on demonstrating the most important foundations and references of philosophical ideas about it in the Islamic philosophical space. So it was the beginning with a quick and intense display tracking the march of the concept of self-consciousness and then the concept of self-consciousness of philosophers before Avicenna, and then we moved to identify the most important self-consciousness pillars of Avicenna which are psychology and  theory of knowledge as well as a fictional and unprecedented hypothesis is that of the flying man, from which Avicenna has moved to emphasizing the unity of ego and thought and establishing fully and consistently the concept of               self-consciousness
