This paper has tried to deliver a modern discussion on Avicenna’s epistemology on the basis of Husserl’s phenomenology, the main problems in Husserl’s are transcendence and correspondence which are considered by Muslim philosophers like Avicenna who tried to solve them by sensual intuition, knowledge in presence and theory of abstraction. Analysis of sensual perception and mental act due to perceive a phenomenon by mediator of the meaning as an reference for the knowledge with the intentional approach in respect of union between knower and the known parallel with Noema and Noesis can set Avicenna’s epistemology as a phenomenological approach which may be taken into consideration as a modern school in epistemology. Husserl’s phenomenological approach can be compared by Avicenna’s knowledge in presence. This paper tried to have a comparative study on Avicenna and Husserl’s epistemology by using analytical and descriptive method emphasizing on critical approach to the both.As a result it must be mentioned that Avicenna has approached to Husserl’s phenomenology.
