Abstract

This paper aims to indicate the relation of gender and practical intellect based on Avicenna’s philosophical principles. Different definitions and aspects of practical intellect, along with the definitions of gender and their submission to the rules and problems of Avicenna’s Philosophy, would be regarded as the extention of Sinavi wisdom in the issue of gender. To achieve this purpose the analytical method has been applied and following aspects evaluated: 1. Relation of gender and practical intellect based on principles regarding practical intellect as director of willing deed; 2.  Cooperative states of soul and body in terms of gender and practical intellect 3. The relationship between soul and its faculties and the role of gender in it 4. The process of the formation of behavior with reference to gender 5. Gender and the factors of the perfection of practical intellect 6. Inferring relation of gender and practical intellect as perceptive faculty 7. Gender and knowledge related to practical intellect spatially Ethics. Studies show the influence of gender not in a general and absolute way, but in a partial and conditional way on different fields of practical intellect.
