Humanistic theories evolved from the discontent of anxiety in the beahvioristic and psychoanalytic theories that regard humans as passive objects of learning. Appearing in the Renaissance and confirmed as a new learning theory in the 20th century, the humanistic theory proved to have a forerunner long before. Ibn Thufail, a Muslim philosopher during the Spanish Muwahid dynasty, has spawned a humanistic-themed work in the 12th century. The stages of the theory of need even to the peak of self-actualization as defined by Araham Maslow as the father of modern humanistic psychology are summarized in a story from a a little boy named Hayy ibn Yaqdzan. Keywords: humanistic psychology, Abraham Maslow, Hayy ibn Yadzan
