Hakim Bu Ali Sena

Re: Hakim Bu Ali Sena

some pointers on this page: Umar Khayyam (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

…Khayyam’s philosophical treatises indicate that he did believe in life after death, and in this regard his views were in line with traditional Islamic eschatological doctrine. Khayyam the poet, however, plays with the notion of life after death in a variety of ways. First, he casts doubt on the very existence of a life beyond our earthly existence; second, he says that based on our very experience in this world, all things seem to perish and not return. Some of his poems play with the idea of the transmigration of the soul (taṇāsukh). This is more symbolic than actual; in numerous poems he tells us that we turn to dust and it is from our dust that other living beings rise. Khayyam’s comments regarding the possibility of life after death may well have been an indirect criticism of the orthodox jurists who spoke of the intricacies of heaven and hell…

Interesting cherry-picking by OP in this thread. Tragic fates of some of the prominent names in philosophy and science, which in most cases were result of politics, are attributed to religion. At the same time, the rise and recognition of these and many other contemporary great names in philosophy and sciences is attributed to atheism.
