The Arabic philosophical fable Hayy Ibn Yaqzan is a classic of medieval Islamic philosophy. Ibn Tufayl (d. 1185), the Andalusian philosopher, tells of a child raised by a doe on an equatorial island who grows up to discover the truth about the world and his own place in it, unaided—but also unimpeded—by society, language, or tradition. Hayy’s discoveries about God, nature, and man challenge the values of the culture in which the tale was written as well as those of every contemporary society. Goodman’s commentary places Hayy Ibn Yaqzan in its historical and philosophical context. The volume features a new preface and index, and an updated bibliography. “One of the most remarkable books of the Middle Ages.”—Times Literary Supplement “An enchanting and puzzling story. . . . The book transcends all historical and cultural environments to settle upon the questions of human life that perpetually intrigue men.”—Middle East Journal “Goodman has done a service to the modern English reader by providing a readable translation of a philosophically significant allegory.”—Philosophy East and West “Add[s] bright new pieces to an Islamic mosaic whose general shape is already known.”—American Historical Review

Ibn Tufayl (d. 1185) was an Andalusian courtier, philosopher, Sufi master, and royal physician to the Almohad Caliphs. He inspired the twelfth-century Andalusian revolt against Ptolemaic astronomy and sponsored the career of the most renowned Aristotelian of medieval times, Abu al-Walid Ibn Rushd (the Latin Averroes). Ibn Tufayl was an exemplar of the kind of versatile scholar early Almohad culture wanted to cultivate. In this thought provoking and concise account, Taneli Kukkonen explores the life and thought of Ibn Tufayl and assesses the influence and legacy of Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, Ibn Tufayl’s famous philosophical romance. Hayy Ibn Yaqzan became a popular and often-copied work in early modern Europe; it has since secured a place as one of the best read pieces in all Arabic literature, partly due to its outstanding literary qualities, in part because it provides an ideal introduction to the themes and preoccupations of classical Arabic philosophy. The study sets Hayy in its historical and philosophical context and paints a vivid portrait of the world as Ibn Tufayl saw it and as he wished for it to be seen.

The World of Ibn ṭufayl consists of ten essays by scholars in different fields in Arab-Islamic studies on Ibn ṭufayl's ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān, one of the most extraordinary works of medieval Arabic literature, and a text with important dimensions in social and intellectual history, literature, mysticism, philosophy, medicine and science. Most of the essays were presented at a groundbreaking conference at the Wellcome Institute in London, which marked the first attempt at a critical assessment of any medieval Arabic text by drawing together scholars from widely varying fields. The studies cast light on numerous aspects of social and intellectual life in North Africa and Spain in medieval Islamic times, and explore important aspects of the textual intercommunication between author and audience.

Hayy bin Yaqdhan is the story of a man who reaches the age of fifty before coming into contact with another human being. However, despite his isolation, his intuition and innate intelligence enable him to learn first about himself, then about the animal kingdom, then the material world, then the movements and nature of the cosmos, then the existence of God. Finally, he discovers truths about the nature of God and the Ultimate Reality which mirror those revealed to mankind through the messengers and prophets. ******************************* Before Hayy makes his appearance the author speculates on how he came into the world. Two possibilities are considered. One is that he was formed on an equatorial island when a bubble of viscous, fermenting mud became charged by the Spirit, which flows unceasingly from Allah - the Sublime, the Almighty - and may be compared to sunlight, which flows constantly onto the world. When the spirit attached itself to the mud, the resulting entity developed into a human baby, which emerged onto the surface of the island when the outer shell of its mud womb dried and cracked. After a time the baby became hungry and began to wail. Its cries were heard by a nearby gazelle who had lost her young. The other possibility is that Hayy was the child of a secret marriage between the sister of the arrogant ruler of a nearby island and a man called Yaqdhan. To hide the fact from her brother, the sister placed her baby in a chest at dead of night and entrusted it to the waves. The sea carried the chest over to the other island and deposited it in a sheltered thicket on the shore. After a time the baby became hungry and began to wail. Its cries were heard by a nearby gazelle who had lost her young. At this point the two versions of the babys origin merge and the story of Hayy bin Yaqdhan begins. ************************************ The gazelle adopted Hayy as her own and Hayy grew up to regard her as his mother. Yet as the years went by, he gradually discovered that he was different from the animals on the island. At first he felt inferior when he saw they were stronger and faster than him, and that they had natural weapons like horns, spurs and tusks, as well as natural coverings like fur, hair or feathers, while he was naked, unarmed, physically weak and a poor runner. However, as he approached the age of seven, he discovered that he was in fact superior to them, because he had hands. These enabled him to make clothes for himself out of leaves, palm fronds, skin and feathers, and also to use sticks as weapons. In time the other creatures came to fear him and he was held in awe by them. ******************************************** The gazelle became old and frail, and one day she died. Hayy was deeply distressed by her death and resolved to cure her and bring her back to life. As he could see nothing wrong with her external organs, he decided that the problem must be due to some damage or obstruction in an organ inside her which was vital to the functioning of her whole body. He felt sure this organ must be located in a central position in the body, so he used some makeshift tools and cut through the gazelles breast. After cutting through her ribs and lungs he reached her heart and decided this must be the organ he was looking for. When he cut the heart open he found that it contained two chambers. One was filled with clotted blood and the other was empty. He decided that the empty chamber held the secret of life. He had observed that every organ existed for a specific function, so if one contained an empty space, it must have been occupied at one time and then vacated by whatever it was that had lived in it. This led him to conclude that the physical body was relatively unimportant, and that what really mattered was the force which possessed, occupied and d

In this innovative work, Salman H. Bashier challenges traditional views of Islamic philosophy. While Islamic thought from the crucial medieval period is often depicted as a rationalistic elaboration on Aristotelian philosophy and an attempt to reconcile it with the Muslim religion, Bashier puts equal emphasis on the influence of Plato's philosophical mysticism. This shift encourages a new reading of Islamic intellectual tradition, one in which boundaries between philosophy, religion, mysticism, and myth are relaxed. Bashier shows the manner in which medieval Islamic philosophers reflected on the relation between philosophy and religion as a problem that is intrinsic to philosophy and shows how their deliberations had the effect of redefining the very limits of their philosophical thought. The problems of the origin of human beings, human language, and the world in Islamic philosophy are discussed. Bashier highlights the importance of Ibn Ṭufayl's Ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān, a landmark work often overlooked by scholars, and the thought of the great Sufi mystic Ibn al-ʿArabī to the mainstream of Islamic philosophy.
