Status Updates From El pensamiento de Avicena

Whooo boy. I wasn't expecting all the heady philosophy.

«Another feature of Avicenna's style characteristic of his writings and of his mode of thought is his passion for classification. He divides and subdivides far more than any Greek author; and it is from him that mediaeval European philosophers copied that method. Classification was once considered a device of the Western mind, here we find it even more marked.» p. 80
