Moral reasoning in Ibn Sina's philosophy can be pursued under the title of practical analogy, which in his works, often appears in the case of moral examples and mostly in the form of controversy. Ibn Sina is often concerned with the analysis of the process of behavior in general which can be called a practical argument. According to Ibn Sina the understanding of good and bad is by practical reason which leads to ethical behavior through theoretical reason, and by visualizing practical reasoning and practical analogy at two stages. This kind of analogy is derived from the speaking soul, but other dimensions of human and animal power, and the external senses, especially the imagination, the illusion, and the powers of causation and enthusiasm are involved. This analysis is not unrelated to Aristotelian background because Aristotle also considers practical reasoning and analogy to create moral behavior. In fact, Aristotle for the issuance of a verb sees the theoretical intellect moving in the sense of the unlikely, and the enthusiasm in the near sense. According to Ibn Sina, practical argument is not the only cause of the action, so he is far from the restriction and has also given importance to the emotional-motivational and motivational factors of the agent. Focusing on cognitive confinement, this paper elaborates on Ibn Sina by comparing him with Aristotle in order to represent Ibn Sina's innovations in relation to Greek philosophy.
