Generally looked upon as a subject of repulsive aridity, in its strange combination of the most heterogeneous philosophical systems, devoid of the grace and charm of attractive style, unbrightened by brilliancy of wit or spirit, Arabian philosophy has, for centuries past, been subject to sad and undeserved neglect.Yet I cannot imagine a better and more eloquent refutation of this erroneous view than a rendering, in fresh garb, of this romance of Hayy Ibn Yokdhan, simple and ingenuous, yet fragrant with poetry and withal fraught with deep philosophical problems. In a short time he becomes an expert in different sports, as hunting and fishing. He makes himself clothes and shoes of the skins of wild beasts. By the observations he made upon the swallows' nests, being taught the art of building, he builds with his hands a room for his own use, a store-house, and a pantry. Then he contrives to make some wild horses so tractable that he can use them for riding, which is a great help to him in his expeditions and excursions. His material existence thus once firmly established and secured, he begins to indulge in his speculations on all sorts of bodies,--on the different kinds of animals, plants, minerals and different sorts of stones, earth, water, exhalations and vapours, ice, snow, hail, smoke, fire, etc.

The Awakening of the Soul is another in a long line of esoteric titles from the Kessinger Publishing Company. It is a fine example of Islamic literature. Ibn Tufail was a Moorish writer from the 12th Century. He was born in Andalucia and died in Morrocco. This is his most substantial work. This is a sadly neglected masterpiece. It deals with the spiritual evolution of a man isolated from civilization. Hayy is nurtured by a roe and has to learn to fend for himself as he grows older. He evolves deep spiritual ideas in spite his lack of speech or language. Fate intervenes and Asal happens by his island. Asal is on a spiritual quest of his own. He teaches Hayy language and speech and takes him back to society to attempt to elevate the masses. Anyone interested in Arabic or Islamic literature or in general spirituality should give this book a read. It is well worth the effort.
