    In the 12th century, Avicenna's philosophy became the leading school of Islamic philosophy due to his successful synthesis of Aristotelianism, Neoplatonism, and Kalam. Avicenna had become such a central authority on philosophy that scholars at the time believed it was impossible for him to err. His doctrines on the soul and the distinction between existence and essence were influential in medieval Europe as well, though they raised debates and were later banned in Paris in 1210. Nevertheless, Avicenna influenced Western philosophers like William of Auvergne, Albertus Magnus, and Thomas Aquinas.

    In the Islamic Golden Age, due to Avicenna's (Ibn Sina's) successful reconciliation between Aristotelianism and Neoplatonism along

    with Kalam, Avicennism eventually became the leading school of Islamic philosophy by the 12th century. Avicenna had become a central authority on philosophy by then, and several scholars in the 12th century commented on his strong influence at the time:[13] "People nowadays [believe] that truth is whatever [Ibn Sina] says, that it is inconceivable for him to err, and that whoever contradicts him in anything he says cannot be rational." Avicennism was also influential in medieval Europe, particularly his doctrines on the nature of the soul and his existence-essence distinction, along with the debates and censure that they raised in scholastic Europe. This was particularly the case in Paris, where Avicennism was later proscribed in 1210. Nevertheless, his psychology and theory of knowledge influenced William of Auvergne[disambiguation needed] and Albertus Magnus, and his metaphysics had an impact on the thought of Thomas Aquinas.[14]
