Had an interesting conversation with an African American outside Dar Al-Ma'arif Bookstore in Cairo yesterday. Dr. Paul explained the significance of the metaphysics of Avicenna. Ibn Sina explains that the mind is both the individual mind (noos, in Greek) and the activator. Very interesting. Dr. Paul (Hardy) did his thesis on Avicenna at Oxford.
