for his contributions in the fields of Aristotelian philosophy and medicine.
In
his work he combined the disparate strands of philosophical/scientific thinking
in Greek late antiquity and early Islam into a rationally rigorous and
self-consistent scientific system that encompassed and explained all reality,
including the tenets of revealed religion and its theological and mystical
elaborations.
