Avicenna was the most prolific Arabic philosopher who developed a comprehensive and unified philosophical system with nearly three hundred works attributed to him. Hitherto many studies have been carried out by scholars on his works, but there are even more works which deserve much attention than has been granted until now. To this last point we can take, as a matter of priority, his Kitab al-Burhan (Book of Demonstration) of his al-Shifa’ (The Cure). This paper therefore takes an introductory task to an ongoing research project which explores the epistemological aspect of the Burhan. It shall provide an outline of the research plans, a brief analysis of the current studies on the Burhan—in terms of its logical and scientific aspects—and followed by a discussion of its epistemological aspect that being principally concerned with.
