Avicenna’s doctrine of knowledge is known for its complexity, and modern scholars have offered different if not contradictory interpretations of its features.

Is the work of imagination, as some texts suggest, a necessary step in the process that leads to intellection, or is imagination, as other texts suggest, a power that frees man from adequacy with reality?.
