I just published an essay on the missing word in the English language that is at the root of our misunderstandings.
The Edge of Our Language

Perhaps this missing word is because of the heavy importance in western thought on reductionism. Discrete rather than continuous.
Rather than on holism, that treats life and all things in the universe as continuous, and emergent.
just a thought.
@corlin
This seems to be his summary statement:
Avicenna (Ibn Sina) criticized Aristotelian induction, arguing that "it does not lead to the absolute, universal, and certain premises that it purports to provide." In its place, he developed a "method of experimentation as a means for scientific inquiry.

Nevertheless, Avicenna still seems to believe in an absolute, axiomatic object. Maybe our individual consciousness is the only indivisible thing that can exist.
@jurban
Read:
Ibn Sina (980 – 1037)
and
Ibn Rushd (1126 – 1198)
They both wrote strong critiques of Aristotelianism.
