Description

Some Aspects of Ibn Khaldun’s Socio-Political Analysis of History by S.M.A. Imam examines the ideas and theories of Ibn Khaldun, the famous 14th-century Arab historian and philosopher, particularly his views on society, politics, and history. The book explores Ibn Khaldun’s groundbreaking approach to the study of history, where he proposed that history is shaped by social, economic, and political forces, rather than being a mere chronicle of events. Imam analyzes key concepts in Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah, such as asabiyyah (social cohesion), the rise and fall of civilizations, and the role of political power in shaping historical trends. This work provides readers with a detailed study of Ibn Khaldun’s contributions to the understanding of social dynamics and political systems, which remain influential in both Islamic and Western intellectual traditions.
