Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

abstract: Avicenna is known as the great Peripatetic Philosopher in the Muslim world. He developed Peripatetic thought and added a lot to it. He is not a pure peripatetic philosopher. His thoughts of the peripatetic to the transcendent philosophy has upgraded it a lot. For the first time, he used the term "transcendent wisdom." According to his transition from peripatetic to the transcendental philosophy, many of the principles of "transcendent wisdom" is traceable in his thoughts. In this article, we discuss substantial motion. Two important questions would be as follows: Can we search the substantial motion in Avicenna’s thoughts? Could the signs be found in its phrases? The author believes that signs can be found in the substantial motion in the statements and opinions of Sheikh. Author believes that Ibn Sina accepted the substantial motion, although not specified. In this paper, evidence on this entry is provided in Avicenna’s Thoughts.
