Abstract
It seems that in spite of huge investments made in history of Iranian medicine in recent years, the investments and the perspective of results obtained in studies of history of the Islamic era medicine is not what was expected. A reason for this phenomenon can be absence of perspective and theoretical studies in this field. In this study, after explaining the how’s and why’s of the theory development in history of medicine, we address the infrastructures required for theory development atmosphere. By introducing some of these infrastructures, we would evaluate some concerns about the essence of theory development in history of Islamic medicine.

A questionnaire was prepared for the measurement of individual temperament in terms of the overall indications of temperament proposed by Avicenna .The questionnaire was used for regular interviews. The population was determined the students with age range of 19 to 22. Through an accidental sampling, 230 questionnaires were put at disposal. In order to analyze the data, Pierson Correlation method and also the Variance-based structural Equation Modeling were used to test the main hypothesis

Abstract
Avicenna and Rhazes are two significant initiative physicians in the golden age of the Islamic period. Although both are raised from the Galenic tradition, we see the controversy and their different methods. Generally, it is said that Rhazes valued experiences, while Avicenna rather more theoretical approaches. Nonetheless, both physicians likewise their pioneer, Galen, were also philosophers. In this paper, I aim to clarify that their contrasting views are due to their different natural philosophy. In this paper, I investigate the basis of their ideas in natural philosophy, according to the existent sources (i. e. their books and treatises), in an analytical approach. And then, in their medical texts, I examine the hypothesis derived from their natural philosophy books. As Rhazes was an atomist in natural philosophy, this view rejects determinism and essentialism in Physics. As a result of this approach, the analysis of questions of nature turned less to metaphysics and more to empiricism. This view contrasts with Avicenna, who believed in Continuism and Hylomorphism and consequently he had an essentialist and teleologist view of nature. These led him to metaphysical analysis in the exploration of natural phenomena. I show that their different methods of writing medical books originate from their different natural philosophies and views on the principles of nature.
