Ibn Sina, Biruni, and the Lost Enlightenment

These two giants of a lost era of enlightenment were born in Central Asia about the year 980. For six hundred years Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine defined the field of medicine from Europe to India, while his thoughts on God and philosophy influenced Muslims, Jews, and Christians, including St. Thomas Aquinas.

Observe your life, between two breaths. […] On this wind you have built your life— but how will a castle rest on a cloud?

Al-Rhazi and Ibn Sina kept alive and advanced much medical knowledge that had largely vanished from Europe – knowledge that had originated in Ancient Greece and Rome, and then spread through Constantinople and Gundeshapur to Baghdad and Bukhara, where it was combined with learnings from India and China, and was eventually translated back into European languages to form a basis for the flowering of the Renaissance. This reawakening of Classical thought inaugurated the age of the university, when medical schools were established throughout Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

Title: Daydreams and Pretty Lies Author:@aurorawest Fandom: Some Desperate Glory Rating: T Relationships: Avicenna/Magnus Major Archive Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Word Count: 2.9k Summary: Avi wants to keep making gardens for Magnus even though Magnus doesn't need him for that anymore.
Read it here!
Magnus came closer. Avi looked up at him. He was so fucking tall. Huge. To say Avi had wanted to climb him like a tree for months now was the obvious joke. Realizing you were queer and that you had a thing for men who could crush your head between their thighs was rough on Gaia. So many massive warbreed guys, so few people who didn’t want to beat him up for his sexuality. “I was looking for you, so I guess, yeah.” There was a little smile on Magnus’s face, not shy, not uncertain, exactly, but like he was holding the full force of it in reserve just in case Avi was in a mood. Which. Fuck. Avi didn’t want to be in a mood with Magnus.

Öfke karaciğeri,
Keder akciğeri,
Üzüntü mideyi,
Stres kalp ve beyni,
Korku böbrekleri yorar!!
Bunlar vücutta artınca ve sürekli ise o organ hastalanır..

Quote
Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and beginnings, if it has had causes and beginnings; nor completed except by knowledge of its accidents and accompanying essentials.
