Have you ever wondered why water doesn't encompass the Earth entirely? In this chapter, I look at some answers from the medieval Islamic world as to why there is land elevated above water, as well as outlining Avicenna's (d. 1037) theory of the world's structure.

I am starting to think that God's existence is itself a miracle.

I am starting to think that God's existence is itself a miracle.

A medieval philosopher once wrote a simple formula that I will spend the rest of my life trying to understand if I have to. I still don't know how he arrived at this conclusion.

"Existence is good."
الوجود خير

-Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna, d. 1037 AD)

Just made my first publication available publicly(!) My chapter examines how philosophers in the world of medieval Islam conceived of and articulated their belief that God is self-loving.

One cannot stand with an oppressor and call oneself a Christian

The wisest words are usually followed by a question mark. Full stop.

The "genius" who says "I'm a genius" is not actually a genius

My new retirement plan is that the world as we know it becomes unrecognizable and retirement is no longer a thing

I used to think that any x that must be the case is inherently a good thing. After studying Avicenna's philosophy for 8+ years now I realize that there is only 1 thing that must be the case and it's not a thing.

Stand with the oppressed against the oppressor. Heal with the broken against those who seek to break you.

Committing to an act that is intrinsically good (despite the potential for experiencing pain as a result) is better than acting out of fear of something intrinsically bad (even if one avoids pain as a result). Love is a better modus operandi than fear.

I cannot stop looking at this illustration of Socrates and his students. Al-Mubashir, Turkish School, 13th century:

Alienation of a polymath (11th c.)

فيسنح له تعريج
عن عالم الزور
إلى عالم الحقّ مستقرّ به
و يحتفّ حوله الغافلون

A passage is offered to him
away from the world of falsehood
to the world of truth to dwell therein
all the while surrounded by the ignorant around him.
Avicenna

realization is a form of discovery
