Edward Pococke translated one philosophical narrative from this language in which a boy is confused by his lack of horns after being raised as the only human with a herd of deer. That boy has a name in this language meaning "Alive, son of Awake," and thinks up increasingly abstract truths on a desert island. A school of thought in this language believed that the mind could have actual, acquired, passive, and active states per its theory of the "four intellects." The Latin name Philosophus Autodidacticus was given to a translation of this language's founding philosophical novel. Another thinker used this language to doubt the Biblical size of (*) 600,000 people in Moses's army, and wrote that sedentary empires gradually lose their group solidarity, dissolving in the face of surrounding nomads. For 10 points, name this language used by ibn Tufail and ibn Khaldun.
