520 _aAvicenna’s conception of politics is inseparable from his doctrine of divine providence and prophecy. This work examines the implications of this doctrine through the study of the last book of Avicenna's The Metaphysics of al-Shifa’, the philosopher's most complete text on the ordering of the city, its laws, and the nature of the legislator. This study purports to answer the following question: since divine providence extends to the limits of the sensible world, including human society, through the mediation of the prophet and the revealed law, is there still room for a science such as politics, which seeks to lay the foundations of a properly human order?
