Bridges from the Ibn Sina bio episode and walks +through his most famous single thought experiment in full: a person created fully formed, +suspended in the air, deprived of every sensation (sight, touch, hearing, even bodily +contact with their own limbs). Ibn Sina argues this person would still affirm their own +existence — self-awareness is immediate and prior to sensory experience of the body, +which implies the soul is distinct from the body.
