Description

This seminal work, first published in 1957, examines the groundbreaking contributions of 14th-century Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, who established a distinctive science for studying history and culture grounded in the philosophical traditions of Plato, Aristotle, and their Muslim successors. Ibn Khaldun recognised that history holds a more direct relationship to human action than political philosophy, as it investigates the actual conditions of society and mankind. Unlike earlier thinkers, he elevated history to a rigorous object of scholarly inquiry rather than mere narrative. This Routledge edition provides a comprehensive analysis of Ibn Khaldun's revolutionary approach to understanding historical methodology and cultural development, exploring how his work challenged conventional Western philosophical approaches to historical study. The text remains essential for scholars examining the philosophical foundations of history as an academic discipline and the intellectual heritage of Islamic thought.

Key Features

Ibn Khaldun's Philosophy of History analyses a 14th-century Arab historian's foundational work in establishing history as a systematic science of culture.

The study grounds Ibn Khaldun's methodology in classical Greek philosophy and Muslim philosophical traditions, demonstrating cross-cultural intellectual synthesis.

This Routledge edition examines how Ibn Khaldun positioned history closer to action and society than abstract political philosophy alone.

The book explores Ibn Khaldun's revolutionary recognition that history required rigorous philosophical investigation rather than simple chronicling of events.
