Islamic Robinson

puts an interesting review of Südwestfunk an Islamic Robinson to the center. Which is the main character in a novel but somewhat older. He was in Spain of the 12th Arab Century age. Robinson named Haiy ibn Yaqzan grows alone on an island and only comes as an older man with other men, with a Muslim community in touch. This gives the author Ibn Tufail opportunity to develop relgiöse and philosophical themes.

The novel has also left traces in the GDR. The philosopher Ernst Bloch has the Urrobinson in his article "Avicenna and the Aristotelian left" in a kind of picked up, the GDR did not fit in my stuff.

SWR2 published the broadcast "enemy or teacher of enlightenment" HERE to download. The novel was published in German: Ibn Tufail: Hayy Ibn Yaqdhan. A Muslim island novel. Published and edited by Ben Jameleddine Abdeljelil Frysak and Victoria. Edition Victoria Vienna 2007
