The Relation of Effect between thought and action on human happiness from Ibn Avicenna` s point of view
Responding to the question requires an understanding of the nature of happiness in the view of Ibn Sina.Avicenna considers enjoyment the nature and essences of happiness. Therefore’ he often begins the debate of happiness from the debate of enjoyment. However Avicenna’s aim in the definition of happiness is not absolute enjoyment, but he means the extreme kind of enjoyment (i.e. intellectual enjoyment). Here the meaning of the theory is Theory Reason Practical and the meaning of action is Morality. He in the comparison between the shares of thought and practice believes that although both (thought and practice) are effective in human happiness, the real happy person is the person who has reached the perfection in both aspects, but he does not regard their share equal and places the importance on the effect of thought. He believes that the role of practice in human happiness is not positive (i.e. ethical acts do not have independent importance. Priority of thought, from the perspective of Avicenna, refers to his anthropological foundations and his definition of the nature and essence of happiness.
