Abstract

The article comprises a translation into Russian of the first chapter from the section on metaphysics / theology from the treatise al-Isharat wat-tanbihat (Remarks and Admonitions) by the most eminent Islamic philosopher Abu Ali b. Sina (Avicenna) (d. 1037 AD). This chapter comprises the Avicenna’s expression of his theological and philosophical teaching. In the books is offered Avicenna’s distinction between the essence and existence, the subdivision of the essence into the “possible” and “necessary”. The text also contains the Avicessa’s proof of the existence of God, which is called the proof of the veracious (burhan as-saddiqin).
