Written for a prince, Avicenna’s short treatise sets out the soul as he understood it: the vegetative, animal and rational faculties, the internal senses including imagination and estimation, the soul’s immateriality, and the argument for its survival of the body. It shaped medieval psychology in both Islam and Europe.
