Ibn Khaldun’s Thought, Asabiyyah and the State

9,94 د.ا

The author of the book states that after spending ten years in the company of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah, he concluded that: There are still many angles that need more research despite the many studies and writings about Ibn Khaldun and his most famous book, the Muqaddimah. He also concluded that corrections must be made to return Khaldunian thought to its original framework and preserve its entirety and true identity. And its readings according to the circumstances of his social experience, his personal concerns, and his modern context.

He also pointed out through his research the methodological error that many of Ibn Khaldun’s admirers have fallen into, and we mean by that looking with the eye of the present, and starting from contemporary thought, to the opinions and theories mentioned in the Muqaddimah in social, political, and economic affairs. As well as understanding his terms and expressions in a way that deviates from his purpose, and distances them from the scope of his interest and the molds of his thinking. In his view, most Khaldunian studies rarely look at Khaldunian thought as a whole, but rather they often look at his opinions in this field independently and separately from his opinions in other fields.

Description

The book deals with Ibn Khaldun’s heritage, especially his famous introduction, using a scientific methodology, and examines the subjective and objective influences that it produced, as well as the impact it had, whether through the emergence of a new science that Ibn Khaldun called the science of urbanism, through which he explained the reasons for the emergence and fall of the “Asabiyyah state”, and its overlap with religion. It also concludes with results that rethink the Khaldunian heritage and constitute an important scientific addition to understanding and comprehending what this scholar brought, which was studied by many researchers and those interested in it. They were preoccupied with his heritage inside and outside the Islamic world.
The full title of the book is: “Ibn Khaldun’s Thought, Asabiyyah and the State: Features of Khaldunian Theory in Islamic History”, published by the Center for Arab Unity Studies and printed eleven times.
