How to Find Yourself on a Deserted Island: Ibn Tufayl’s Philosophical Tale

Gavin House 1220 E 58th St., Chicago, IL

We will discuss Hayy Ibn Yaqzan by Ibn Tufayl (d. 1185).

This event is part of our Fundamental Questions program, a quarterly seminar designed for undergraduate students at the University of Chicago. Students from all religious and philosophical backgrounds welcome to this group.
