Analysis of the historical phenomenological works of Hay b. Yaqzan by Ibn Tufayl and Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

To understand a religious tradition, it is very important to know the socio-cultural accumulation of the community, which has that religious tradition, such as folklore, mythology, literature, and art. Because ethnological data are used to understand and interpret the actions, mutual relations, belief systems, religious societies and institutions, rituals and customs of religious people or people with a religious tradition. In the light of these data, literary works that mirror the society in particular reflect the human understanding and worldview of their civilizations in a sense by revealing the quality of their relations with their individual, social, cultural and Creator. In this study, we aimed to make historical and phenomenological comparisons of two different worlds, view of world and culture hidden behind these two literary texts by evaluating the views of eastern and western cultures in the frame of Hay and Robinson models to human, society and socio-cultural life.
