Ibn Tufayl (d. 1185), the Andalusian philosopher, tells of a child raised by a doe on an equatorial island who grows up to discover the truth about the world and his own place in it, unaided—but also unimpeded—by society, language, or tradition. Hayy’s discoveries about God, nature, and man challenge the values of the culture in which the tale was written as well as those of every contemporary society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGoodman’s commentary places \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eHayy Ibn Yaqzan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in its historical and philosophical context.
