Ce volume n'est pas consacré au seul système d'Avicenne, mais à la description de toute une partie du mouvement philosophique qui s'est produit en Orient entre l'hégire et la mort d'Avicenne, mouvement où le système de ce philosophe apparaît comme un point culminant. A côté des sectes et des écoles dont il est question dans ce livre, s'en trouvent d'autres qui en sont restées exclues: les écoles théologiques; les sectes politiques et mystiques. La théologie n'y est présente qu'au début comme point de départ, et, dans le courant de l'exposition, sous forme de métaphysique.
