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:<ref>Nahyan A. G. Fancy (2006), p. 80-81, "Pulmonary Transit and Bodily Resurrection: The Interaction of Medicine, Philosophy and Religion in the Works of Ibn al-Nafīs (d. 1288)", ''Electronic Theses and Dissertations'', [[University of Notre Dame]].[http://etd.nd.edu/ETD-db/theses/available/etd-11292006-152615] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150404020329/http://etd.nd.edu/ETD-db/theses/available/etd-11292006-152615/|date=2015-04-04}}</ref>

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 [[Scholasticism|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, Bishop of Paris|William of Auvergne]] and [[Albertus Magnus]], and his [[metaphysics]] influenced the thought of [[Thomas Aquinas]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://iep.utm.edu/avicenna-ibn-sina/|title=Avicenna (Ibn Sina) &#124; Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy|access-date=2022-10-06|archive-date=2022-10-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221006135059/https://iep.utm.edu/avicenna-ibn-sina/|url-status=live}}</ref>
