Abstract (EN)

Reason is the only thing that provides knowledge and interest to a person Ibn Tufayl also built his philosophical system on this basis. According to Ibn Tufayl, people can acquire knowledge by establishing a relationship between physics and metaphysics without the need for a teacher, and by following nature away from everyone, they can learn the reason for everything from existence to extinction through their own experiences. The human mind, which progresses in this way, can reach the most competent level by rising to the level of the perfect human and reach true knowledge. And the one, who poses this quality becomes a matter of free and limitless happiness. The philosophical question Ibn Tufail proposes together with the spiritual result does not only lead to the divine, but completes it. A person who acquires philosophical knowledge gets the knowledge of divinity from Allah. The contrast between these two is only illusionary and a person who shares the depth of the philosophy incorporates the depth of the religion within. Key Words: Ibn Tufail, Mind, Physics, Metaphysics, Religion
