Biyya, In Ibn Tufayl's story, the philosopher's mother is a deer.
Really? What that means?
Yes, Biyya! In Ibn Tufayl's famous philosophical novel, Hayy ibn Yaqzan, the protagonist, Hayy, is raised by a gazelle, a type of deer. The story is an allegory, rich in symbolism, and explores themes of self-discovery, the pursuit of knowledge, and the relationship between reason and faith.
I don't get it at all, said Biyya.
