A Reconstruction of Ibn Khaldun's Philosophy of History

Beschreibung

Ibn Khalduns chief contribution lies in philosophy of history and sociology. He sought to write a world history pre-ambled by a first volume aimed at offering a theoretical analysis of historical events. This volume, commonly known as Muqaddimah or Prolegomena, was based on Ibn Khalduns unique theoretical approach and original scientific contribution and became a masterpiece in literature on philosophy of history and sociology. In this book Dr Kamal Mirawdeli reconstructs Ibn Khladuns theory of history in a clear systematic way grasping not only his original themes and innovative ideas but also offering a very accessible analytical context which helps the reader to understand the conditions of the possibility of Ibn Khalduns philosophy of history, its mode of existence and its political function as a tool for explaining the relationship between knowledge and power.
