      ab: In "Avicenna on Meno's Paradox," Michael Marmura provides a translation with comments on Ibn Sīnā's chapter from The Book of Demonstration where Ibn Sīnā resolves Meno's paradox. Marmura, however, does not consider in detail the chapters leading up to his resolution. There Ibn Sīnā outlines his unique understanding of how to undertake a scientific inquiry, which not only underlies his solution to Meno's paradox, but also informs his approach throughout his monumental summa of philosophy, the Shifāʾ. The present study considers this broader context for his solution to the paradox and concludes with a case study from Ibn Sīnā's Physics , where one sees his scientific method in practice.
