"The Improvement of Human Reason" by Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Malik Ibn Tufayl is a philosophical narrative written in the early 12th century. The work focuses on the life of Hai Ebn Yokdhan, a character seemingly raised in isolation, who explores the world and aims to uncover the knowledge of natural and supernatural truths entirely through his own reasoning and observations. The opening of the narrative presents a fascinating premise where Hai Ebn Yokdhan is introduced as an individual who may have been born spontaneously on an idyllic island free of human influence, or alternatively, as the child of a mother who abandoned him at birth. Raised by a Roe, he learns to navigate his environment through keen observation of nature while forming an understanding of his existence and the world around him. The text reflects on his gradual acquisition of knowledge, starting from the basic needs of survival to profound philosophical inquiries about life, the soul, and the divine, laying the groundwork for a discourse that blends natural philosophy with deeper metaphysical considerations.
