چکیده:
Despite remarkable similarities between Augustine and Ibn Sina on the soul’s knowledge of itself, there seem to be important differences between these two thinkers on issues concerning souls in the afterlife. The question of what individuates a soul after bodily death is a serious and difficult question for Ibn Sina. He seems to find this matter quite perplexing. By contrast, Augustine does not address this topic directly. Nevertheless, Augustine does make various claims about the afterlife that would give him at least the basis for an account of soul individuation after physical death. One might well wonder, however, whether either Augustine or Ibn Sina should be satisfied with the account I offer Augustine.
