Avicenna is one of the most important thinkers of Islamic Philosophy. He added a number of original forms to Islamic philosophy, which began with al-Kindi and systematized with al-Farabi, and thus became an authority of thought that the Muslim or Western thinkers of the time were based on or criticized. He worked on almost all the sciences of his time, especially in metaphysics, medicine, logic, physics, music, mathematics, and wrote many important works in these fields. Undoubtedly, the greatest and most important work of Avicenna is al-Şifâ. This book is a huge work which includes the sciences of that period such as logic, physics and metaphysics and deals with Avicenna's rational philosophy in detail. Other than this, al-Necât which is the summary of al-Şifâ and al-İşârât ve al-tenbîhât, are among the important works of Avicenna in the style of encyclopedia. One of the most important works of Avicenna is Dânişnâme-i ‘alâî. Dânişnâme-i ‘alâî is a work that includes sciences such as logic, physics, metaphysics and mathematics. Avicenna wrote this work in Persian and dedicated it to the sultan Izzeddin Alâuddevle Ebu Cafer Muhammed b. Doşmanziyâr. At the same time, Dânişnâme-i ‘alâî is accepted as the first encyclopedic philosophical work written in Persian. In general, Dânişnâme-i ‘alâî is like a summary of his al-Şifâ, which is a corpus; however, this work is an encyclopedic work which Avicenna put forward his views in the didactic manner. This work is written by Avicenna completely on the axis of Aristotle philosophy. In this respect, it is similar to al-Şifâ and al-Necât but not much like the el-İşârât ve't-tenbîhât. Dânişnâme-i alâî, which was written by Avicenna in Persian, was the source of el-Gazzâlî, and using this work, he later wrote a book called Makâsıd al-Felâsife. In this study, after introducing Dânişnâme-i 'alâî both in terms of form and content, and comparing it with the other important works of Avicenna’s al-Şifâ, al-Necât and al-İşârât ve al-tenbîhât, we tried to reveal its place and importance in the philosophy of Avicenne. This study revealed that Avicenna did not move away from rational philosophy even at the end of her life. Because there were strong claims that with the philosophy he put forward in al-İşârât ve al-tenbîhât he moved away from meşşâî philosophy and turned to işrâkî philosophy. In this study, when we put forward the topics mentioned above we followed a method based on comprehension, interpretation, criticism, comparison and evaluation, which is one of the basic methods of social sciences and philosophy.
