Exploring the significant influence of 12th-century Arab philosopher Ibn Tufayl, this collection of essays examines how his work, particularly "Hayy Ibn Yaqzan," shaped the ideas of key European thinkers during the 17th and 18th centuries. The essays suggest that a deeper understanding of this influence could have altered Edward Said's conclusions in "Orientalism," highlighting the interconnectedness of Eastern and Western philosophies during the Enlightenment.
