About the author

Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Malik Ibn Tufayl

d. 1185

A pioneering Andalusian thinker, physician, and court official, he is best remembered for the philosophical tale Hayy ibn Yaqzan, a story of self-discovery that traveled far beyond the medieval Islamic world. His writing blends reason, observation, and spiritual reflection in a way that still feels fresh centuries later.
