Ibn Ṭufayl's Ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān

"In this classic of medieval Islamic philosophy, Ibn Tufayl tells of a child raised by a doe on an equatorial island who grows up to discover the world and his own place in it, unaided - but also unimpeded - by society, language or tradition. Hayy's encounters with nature, God, and man challenge the values of the culture in which the tale was written as well as those of contemporary society."--Back cover.
