 The ultimate goal of Ibn Bajja's treatise Conjunction of the Intellect with Man is to prove that, one, happiness can be attained on earth, and, two, happiness is attained by knowing and becoming the intelligibles in-and-of-themselves. It is through contemplating and sharing in these intelligibles that man develops wonder, awe, and true joyfulness. However, man can be seduced and stuck in inferior forms of thought, namely the thought patterns of the masses and the natural philosophers. But the question is how did Ibn Bajja come to this determination and who are his influences, some of whom are easily detectable from the text? By summarizing his main points and by finding his main influences, hopefully Ibn Bajja's theory will be better understood and contextualized.
