Özet:

This study, in essence, addresses a question directed at Ibn Seb’īn. This question implies that Aristotle accepts that the universe is infinite and examines the problem according to his view. This paper discusses the problem in Aristotle which is directed to Ibn Seb’īn and explores what it means to discuss Ibn Sīnā with his argument that the universe is infinite. Also this paper, which also provides information on Ibn Seb’īn's method of thinking, examines the matter step by step and gives important information about how a thinking method should be in a researcher at each stage. Ibn Seb’īn brings 11 proofs from Aristotle for the first question of the king. These evidences refer to different issues in the hierarchy claiming the infinity of the universe, and complement each other when they are read together. The debate over the 11 proofs about the eternity of the universe from Aristotle, the validity of these, or whether it is evidence, is put forward by Ibn Seb’īn. Finally, the statement ends with Aristotle adding the answers given by Ibn Sīnā to the alleged infinite of the universe.
