message: With the exception of some fragments of poetry, his only extant work is Hayy Ibn Yaqzan (The Living Son of the Vigilant). The title and names of characters of this work are borrowed from two of Ibn Sina's philosophical treatises, Hayy Ibn Yaqzan and Salaman and Absal, and its framework is borrowed from an ancient eastern tale, The Story of the Idol and of the King and His Daughter. The title is taken from the name of the main character, Hayy Ibn Yaqzan. In the introduction and conclusion, the author addresses the reader directly; in other parts of the work, he uses a 'thin veil', a symbolic form, a story to express his philosophical views.

With 231 edits, User:Jagged 85 is the main contributor to this article by far (2nd: 8 edits). The issues are a repeat of what had been exemplarily shown here, here, here or here. Since the youngest pre-Jagged85 version (08 December 2007) is unreferenced, I stub the article. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 20:28, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stub and rework 

message: This article is interesting and provocative, but many of the claims about influence across European literature are unsubstantiated. Specifically the claim about Rousseau and Kipling is given no credible (or live-linked) source. Just because there is some general similarity between two texts it does not demonstrate dependence or influence. In order to claim that these two works were "likely influenced" by Hayy ibn Yaqdhan one would want to see specific concrete evidence that Rousseau, e.g., read or knew the work. Without such evidence, these are just grand but overreaching speculations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.141.83.253 (talk) 20:58, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questionable broad claims of influence 

message: Can anyone find the corresponding Arabic text from Hayy ibn Yaqdhan where he mentions the story which is similar to the Molyneux problem? The full Arabic text should be here but I still cant find the "imagine a person born blind" line? --الدبوني (talk) 11:42, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

message: In the article on George Keith , it says (with source) that Keith made the first translation into English in 1674. The article on Hayy ibn Yaqdhan should be edited to reflect this.  Oaklandguy (talk) 21:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
