He tells the story of a person called Hayy bin Yaqzan who grew up on an uninhabited island alone, and symbolises the human being, and his relationship with the universe and religion. It contains many sub-myths and contained philosophical implications.This story has been known in the West since the seventeenth century, and has been translated into several languages, including Latin, Hebrew, English, French, German and Dutch.

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

The story of Hayy ibn Yaqzan (Risalat hayy ibn yaqzan) is described by its author, Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Tufayl, as an introduction to the philosophy or 'wisdom' intimated by one of the most renowned philosophers of Islam, the Sheikh and Master, Abu' Ali ibn Sina (Avicenna). It was written to counter what Ibn Tufayl perceived to be the damaging influence of pseudo-philosophic ideas then current in Muslim Spain. Hayy ibn Yaqzan is thus, on one level a sort of primer on medieval Islamic Philosophy. The book establishes its frame of reference with a short and selective critique of Islamic philosophy before introducing the narrative framework of a boy of obscure origins reared by a gazelle on a desert island without human contact. The very uncertainty of the boy's origin is used by the author as an oppurtunity to include a theory of the origins of life. As the boy gradually becomes aware of his surroudings, he begins to understand that he is somehow different from the other animals, yet superior by virtue of the technical advantages he can realise with his hands.

Commonly translated as "The Self-Taught Philosopher" or "The Improvement of Human Reason," Ibn-Tufayl's story Hayy Ibn-Yaqzān inspired debates about autodidacticism in a range of historical fields from classical Islamic philosophy through Renaissance humanism and the European Enlightenment. Avner Ben-Zaken's account of how the text traveled demonstrates the intricate ways in which autodidacticism was contested in and adapted to diverse cultural settings. In tracing the circulation of the Hayy Ibn-Yaqzān, Ben-Zaken highlights its key place in four far-removed historical moments. He explains how autodidacticism intertwined with struggles over mysticism in twelfth-century Marrakesh, controversies about pedagogy in fourteenth-century Barcelona, quarrels concerning astrology in Renaissance Florence, and debates pertaining to experimentalism in seventeenth-century Oxford. In each site and period, Ben-Zaken recaptures the cultural context that stirred scholars to relate to ayy Ibn-Yaqān and demonstrates how the text moved among cultures, leaving in its wake translations, interpretations, and controversies as various as the societies themselves. Pleas for autodidacticism, Ben-Zaken shows, not only echoed within close philosophical discussions; they surfaced in struggles for control between individuals and establishments. Presented as self-contained histories, these four moments together form a historical collage of autodidacticism across cultures from the late Medieval era to early modern times. The first book-length intellectual history of autodidacticism, this novel, thought-provoking work will interest a wide range of historians, including scholars of the history of science, philosophy, literature, Europe, and the Middle East.

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
