hello guys in this video we're gonna be
covering the psychological theory of
Avecanna; so in a theory of psychology
he gives a systematic account of various
kinds of mind and their abilities he
categorizes the mind through three types
the vegetable mind the animal mind and
the human mind the vegetable mind has
three facilities or pars these are
nutritive powers which can which change
another body in the form of the first.
reproductive power which is the power of
producing the part similar to itself in
potentiality and lastly it has the power
of growth which increases the body
without changing its form till it
matures. Avicenna's second kind of mind
is the animal mind which is further
divided into two categories of
perceptive and motive faculties the
PIRs-- perceptive faculties or cognitive
faculties are divided into two
categories of external and internal
senses the external senses represent the
five basic senses of touch sight taste
hearing and smell the internal senses
represent common sense imagination
cognitive faculty estimated faculty and
memory the other type of faculty in the
animal mind is the motive faculty it is
divided into categories of appetitive and
efficient powers the appetitive powers can
either be attractive or repulsive the
attractive attractive ones can be called
desire and the repulsive ones can be
called a Irascibility or crankiness the
third type of mind which Avicenna
represents is the human mind he says
that it possesses both the qualities of
the animal and vegetable mind but what
makes a different then? that's reason
according to Avicenna this reason can
either be theoretical reasoning or
speculative intelligence which aids our
abstract thinking or it can be practical
reasoning or active intellect which is
also known as morality. that was all
about the psychological theory for the
rest of the theories stay tuned thank you
so much
