Hayy bin Yakzan - Immortal Classics Series

Hayy bin Yakzan - Immortal Classics Series Book Description Hayy bin Yakzan... Hay bin Yakzan... No matter how many times we repeat this name, we feel fascinated every time. By giving it this name from the very beginning, Ibn Tufeyl both immortalized it and differentiated it from its similar ones. We talked about similar ones, but it is actually completely unique. He managed to be the first and wink at eternity with this first. This is an eternal wink from Andalusia to the east and west. The Middle Ages was a period in which humanity struggled between darkness and light, searching for its own direction. Ibn Tufeyl goes beyond the sterile discussions of his time and almost proposes the idea of a new beginning for man. Its philosophical content is as much full of traces of pure religious feeling as it is woven with nature. Its auto-didactic character also shows people the ways to be themselves through fiction. Hayy bin Yakzan is a story of repetition and constant formation. Reason and emotion gain a brand new universal leaven on the silk of experience. This essence would later easily influence Western thought and continue in philosophers such as Spinoza, Leibniz and Rousseau. This immortal work embraces us once again, from its Arabic original, with the translation of Mehmet Hakkı Crime. Hayy bin Yakzan adds another level to his endless call. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
