Unlike the traditional and classical view, which was limited to the literary and rhetorical field, conceptual metaphors have found a wide scope in the contemporary view. Today, conceptual metaphor, as a valuable tool, plays an important role in recognizing abstract facts and matters and makes it easier for the public to understand complex topics, and helps teachers and learners to build and criticize conceptual structures. From this perspective, metaphor, by relying on the construction of words and previous information, helps to understand and represent unfamiliar phenomena. Although the term "conceptual metaphor" is a new term, it has been used in the expressions of Islamic philosophers and mystics to understand and explain metaphysical concepts; in this regard, Ibn Sina's view of the self and its truth contains attractive and captivating schemas. Therefore, this research has addressed the following question using a descriptive-analytical method: What metaphors did Ibn Sina use to help understand and recognize the self? By referring to his expressions and works, metaphors such as: "The soul is power and strength" or "The soul is a container and volume" or "The soul is a bird" and also "The soul is a painting tablet" can be seen, which are introduced and analyzed in this article.
