description: Few figures have been of such enduring importance as the Persian philosopher and physician Ibn Sina, also known as Avicenna (978-1037 A.D.) "Ibn Sina and Mysticism" explores the fourth part of Ibn Sina's most comprehensive book, "al-Isharat wat-Tanbihat"--or "Remarks and Admonitions"--a book which Ibn Sina described as "the cream of the truth." The book includes a full translation of "al-Isharat wat-Tanbihat," along with a critical discussion of the work in the context of Ibn Sina's other writings, as well as a detailed explication of the translating process.
