Read More After the classification of intelligibles into first intelligibles, secondary philosophical intelligibles and secondary logical intelligibles, was presented by Mirdamad and confirmed and consolidated by Mulla Sadra, the final point of view in the classification of intelligibles has been considered until today. However, there are differences in the views of those regarding the philosophers who lived before Mirdamad, such as Avicenna. Some hold that Avicenna believes in the threefold classification of intelligibles in such a way that the secondary intelligibles is equal to the logical secondary intelligibles but although he knew the philosophical second intelligibles, he did not put an independent term for them. On the other hand, another point of view says that Avicenna believes in a dual division, and in his opinion, the first intelligibles are not only first intelligibles that known as substantive concepts, but also considered philosophical concepts that known as secondary philosophical intelligibles in addition to substantive concepts, and in his opinion, the secondary intelligibles are the same logical secondary intelligibles. According to this research, avicenna classified intelligibles into two categories, first and secondary, in a primary division, not the triple classification that some have thought and not the dual division that is assumed in the second view, but in the way that he classified intelligibles into two categories, first and second, in a primary classification Then, some secondary intelligibles are discussed in logic from the perspective of what associate to them that is achieving the our logical goal, otherwise according to him The proof and how they exist are discussed in philosophy. They are therefore essentially secondary philosophical intelligibles (to use well-known phrase) and accidently logical secondary inelligibles. As a result, according to Avicenna not only the secondary inelligibles not equivalent to the secondary logical intelligibles but includes them and philosophical concepts
