This comprehensive book delves into the visionary sociology of civilizations and power penned by the renowned scholar, political counselor, and Malikite judge, Ibn Khaldūn. Half a millennium before the emergence of modern sociology in the West, Ibn Khaldūn crafted a revolutionary sociological-philosophical treatise known as the Muqaddima. This work stands as a testament to his profound intellect, intricate understanding, and refined perspective. By contextualizing his comprehensive and intricate treatise within the Islamo-Greek culture of his time, the author offers a comprehensive analysis of its sociological, philosophical, historical, and scientific dimensions. Moreover, through the universalizable core of the Muqaddima, the author reinterprets its teachings to unveil the profound insights it holds into the society, politics, and law of contemporary liberal and multicultural civilisations.
A deeper appreciation of Ibn Khaldūn's perspective holds immense significance not only in understanding the Arab contribution to social theory, social history, and philosophy but also in expanding the sociological project beyond the Euro-American lens. This book, with its interdisciplinary appeal, caters to a diverse readership of students and scholars in sociology, the sociology of law, philosophy of law, philosophy of history, political philosophy, history of civilizations, political sociology, and Arabic studies.
