رؤية العالم في (حي بن يقظان)‎ : دراسة في النصوص الأربعة لابن سينا و ابن طفيل و السهروردي و ابن النفيس

Abstract EN

Arabic heritage teems with numerous types of prose texts which belong to numerous categories and differ in their forms, content and goals.

The researcher chose Hayy ibn Yaqdhan which falls into four philosophical texts, written successively by ibn Sina (died in 428 hijri), ibn Tufail (died in 581 hijri), Al-Suhrawardi (died in 587 hijri) and ib Al-Nafis (died in 687 hijri).

Ibn Sina and ibn Tufail gave it the same tittle.

However, Al-Suhrawardi changed it into Western Expatriation and ib Al-Nafis altered it into Fadhil ibn Natiq.

Yet, they all have the same epistemological concern, convergent visions and shared goals.

They have some differences in style, processing and personal visions.

The philosophical nature of the four texts does not sacrifice the literary, aesthetic nature, storytelling and its symbolic devices which aim to solve the political, social, intellectual problems and suggest solutions for them according to the visions of two philosophers, a mystic, and a jurist who represent Arabic elite which belong to the different lands of Persia, Al-Andalus, Levant and Cairo.

The researcher termed Hayy ibn Yaqdhan as a “text” because it does not have a definitive genre.

He depends in studying it on Dr.

Yousuf Zaidan's Hayy ibn Yaqdhan: The Four Texts and Their Creators investigating the events chronologically and following the investigation of Mister Ahmed Ameen which was limited to three texts.

This paper, then, is an attempt to uncover the features of the vision of the world at the authors of these texts which was not detached from the social and intellectual environment in which it was firstly initiated, and this includes an intact and potential awareness depending on Formative Structuralism whose methodology was adopted to studying and analyzing the texts.
