ABSTRACT
By a comparison between the definition of life and death in Modern Medicine and Avicenna's view, it is perceived that each of them has looked at the above concepts from their special perspective. The topic of Avicenna's view is the being of life and the topic of Modern Medicine is the origin, appearance, and impressions of life. In his philosophical and medical works, Avicenna described the separation of the soul from the body as the ultimate reason for ceasing life. On the other, with the accepted medical standards, death is attributed to the organs in the human body and relies on the function or lack of function in the body's organs. Despite the differences between these two fields of knowledge, there can be collaboration between science and philosophy to achieve significant results in this regard to make useful contributions to the clarification of the concept of life and death. The findings of the study demonstrate that although the question of life and death is investigated in Avicenna's philosophy as a transcendental issue and in modern medicine as a material one, a general-specific relationship can be made between science and philosophy in defining the concept of life and death in the natural world domain.
