Abstract

In the history of Islamic philosophy, the term oriental wisdom was first proposed by Ibn Sina, which can be considered as a kind of leap in his philosophy, after which discussion wisdom was promoted to taste wisdom, but the concept of oriental wisdom by Ibn Sina is a vague and disputed concept. . Ibn Tufail has clarified that in his treatise Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, he is trying to express Ibn Sina's Eastern wisdom. Therefore, Ibn Tufail's narration of Porsina's philosophy and wisdom can be considered as one of the readings of Sheikh Al-Raees' Eastern wisdom. The characteristics of this concept of Eastern Sinavi wisdom are generally in two parts, form and content components. The meaning of the formal component is the way of telling stories and simulations of things in the form of novels and short stories following the style of Bu Ali Sina in the treatise of Hay bin Yaqzan. The content component of the index of Eastern wisdom that is analyzed here is the Asfar Arbaah or the four-stage philosophical-mystical development of Hay bin Yaqzan. In this article, which is written in a descriptive-analytical method, we will show that Hayy bin Yaqzan Ibn Tufail followed Ibn Sina in terms of form, and at the same time, he was the founder of the Arba'a travels in terms of content.
