Biographical inforamtion about Zera Yacob can be found in his Treatise (very interesting to read!!!). His philosophy is similar to the philosophy of enlightenment. Interesting to read since the philosophical thoughts are embedded into his life stroy, so one can almost watch the emergence of philosophical thinking. This man invented philosophy on his own. Unfortunately, the philosophical tradition started by him seems to have vanished after the death of his studen tWalda Heywat. What would have happened, had they had the printing press? A must read for any introductory course to philosophy. Nannus 19:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC) I am going to add some more of the biographical details.Nannus 19:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
