Since they knew Ibn Sina as anAristotelian philosopher, the following question was raised:Why has Aristotelian Ibn Sina given heed to mysticalattitudes? In response to the question whether or not there isany unity between the two mentioned tendencies, the Frenchresearchers have three views: Some have attempted to find asort of relationship between Ibn Sina's philosophical writingsand his mystical works. Others have not questioned hismystical character and his spiritual works and have clearlypointed out that his intuitions and mystical words has a sort ofmetaphorical and mysterious theme showing his mysticalexperiences. The rest have introduced him as an Aristotelianphilosopher who has only quoted the words of Sufis andmystics. Our goal in this paper is to critically analyze thesethree perspectives.
