basic question: "What is reason, its place and levels in Ibn Tufail's epistemological system?" authors have tried to answer this question by describing, analyzing and criticizing the story of Hayi Bin Yaqzan - the only surviving work of Ibn Tufail. During this investigation, it can be deduced: from Ibn Tufail's point of view, knowledge is "absolute knowledge" and reaching it with the tool of reason, which is "a tool for organizing the system of problems, finding answers for them, and turning partial answers into general perceptions." May be. From Ibn Tufail's point of view, on the way to the ultimate knowledge, a person goes through the following stages with the benefit of practical and theoretical reason: a. observation (experience); b. referring to previous knowledge; J. Causation; d. astonishment E. guess; F. Generalization; G. classification; H. generalization; i. Similar Ibn Tufail introduced the intellect as a means of acquiring knowledge, which can be improved through the stages of experience (first reasonable understanding), abstraction, second reasonable understanding and intuition, and he considers this improvement to be one of the goals of human education; And based on the celibacy of the human soul, he explains its levels. Although there are criticisms of Ibn Tufail in this direction; including: the lack of internal coherence of these stages (despite the possibility of creating coherence by preserving the story components); But it seems that in general, Ibn Tufail has been able to provide an acceptable arrangement for the rational course in the path of human education.
