   Extractions: Encyclopedia of World Biography on Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Khaldun Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) was an Arab historian, philosopher, and statesman whose treatise, the Muqaddima, in which he pioneered a general sociological theory of history, shows him as one of the most original thinkers of the Middle Ages. Ibn Khaldun was born on May 27, 1332, in Tunis. His family, of southern Arabian origin, settled in Seville after the Moslem conquest of Spain and distinguished themselves in the political and intellectual life of the city. Shortly before the Christian reconquest they left and eventually settled in Tunis. Ibn Khaldun always felt attached to the cultural tradition of Moslem Spain. Growing up in Tunis, Ibn Khaldun studied the traditional religious sciences including law according to the Maliki school as well as the rational sciences. He also was trained in the arts necessary for a career in government. Among his teachers, he was most impressed by al-Abili, who came to Tunis in 1347 and introduced him to philosophy.

   Extractions: IBN KHALDUN : THE FATHER OF ECONOMICS Abd Al-Rahman Ibn Khaldun (744-820Hijrah) 1332-1406 A.D Ibn Khaldun was in the era when the Western world was experiencing the renaissance. This was also the beginning of the decay of Islamic civilization. There were crusades and invasions from East. Besides, disputes of Caliphs were common. Among all this background, Ibn Khaldun represents the climax of history of Islamic economic thought. Ibn Khaldun wrote his voluminous book on history of the world, titled; Kitab al Ibr wa-diwan al-mubtada wa-l-khabar fi ayyam-il 'arab wa al ajam wa al barbar wa man 'asarahum min dhawis sultan al-akbar. This book was translated in French in 15th C, and later in German and English. The Western world although recognizes Khaldun as the father of Sociology but hesitates in recognizing him as a great economist who laid its very foundations. It was Khaldun who for the first time wrote about the logic of history. Marxists greatly admire him. Ibn Khaldun was a descendant of a well to do Andulusian (Spanish) family. His family left Spain before its fall to Christians. He was born in Tunisia, where he was well brought up and given the best education, both religious and modern. He completed his education at the age of 19. By the age of 20, he was working as a civil servant. Later he went to Morocco. Khaldun showed a great interest in politics, and also became a minister thrice. He was sometimes imprisoned or detained for his views, and even threatened to be executed. During his notable stay in the desert he wrote comprehensively on history of nations, religions, fiqh, origin of sciences etc. Later, during his stay in Egypt he was appointed Qadi (Judge), by the Sultan of Egypt. Here too his engagement in politics cost him the enmity of the Sultan.

In his chosen field of intellectual activity he appears to have been inspired by no predecessors, and to have found no kindred souls among his contemporaries, and to have kindled no answering spark of inspiration in any successors ; and yet, in the Prolegomena (Muqaddimat) to his Universal History he has conceived and formulated a philosophy of history which is undoubtedly the greatest work of its kind that has ever yet been created by any mind in any time or place. It was his single brief 'acquiescence' from a life of practical activity that gave Ibn Khaldun his opportunity to cast his creative thought into literary shape. A STUDY OR HISTORY. Vol. III.

    Paper by RJ Kilcullen, briefly summarizing khaldun s theories on the rise and fall of states and civilizations.  
    http://www.humanities.mq.edu.au/Ockham/y67s17.html
    
    Extractions: POL167: Introduction to Political Theory R.J. Kilcullen Ibn Khaldun lived in north Africa 1332-1406, about a generation after William of Ockham. His Muqaddimah ('Introduction', namely to a work of history) originated as an attempt to work out how to decide whether historical sources are credible. An important question to ask is whether what the source relates is likely to have happened, i.e. whether it is the sort of thing that happens in human affairs. This inquiry led Ibn Khaldun to write a lengthy treatise on the processes of social and political change (cf. Aristotle's discussion of revolution and stability, Politics , book V). Ibn Khaldun was not a 'philosopher' (in the sense of an avowed follower of the Greek philosophers), but his thinking is much influenced by Aristotelian ideas, in particular the idea of nature as a source of development toward a goal. Ibn Khaldun thinks that no individual dynasty or society can permanently remain at a high level of development; soon after maturity is attained decay sets in (just as individual plants and animals achieve the maturity natural to their species and then decay). There are drawbacks to the fully developed social state, even before decay sets in; progress in civilisation is made at some cost. A factor that Ibn Khaldun emphasises as important in social and political development is 'a sense of solidarity' or 'group feeling' - the state of mind that makes individuals identify with a group and subordinate their own personal interests to the group interest. Without willingness to subordinate self to the group, peace and social development are not possible. Ibn Khaldun expects the sense of solidarity to be based originally and normally on kinship. A sense of solidarity can be powerfully supported by religion, and conversely no religion can make an impact unless its members have a strong sense of solidarity.

He is best known for his famous ' Muqaddimah Prolegomena ). Abd al-Rahman Ibn Mohammad, generally known as Ibn Khaldun after a remote ancestor, was born in Tunis in 732 A.H. (1332 C.E.) to an upper class family that had migrated from Seville in Muslim Spain. His ancestors were Yemenite Arabs who settled in Spain in the very beginning of Muslim rule in the eighth century. During his formative years, Ibn Khaldun experienced his family's active participation in the intellectual life of the city, and to a lesser degree, its political life. He was used to frequent visits to his family by the political and intellectual leaders of western Islamic states (i.e., North Africa and Spain), many of whom took refuge there. Ibn Khaldun was educated at Tunis and Fez, and studied the Qur'an, Prophet Muhammad's Traditions and other branches of Islamic studies such as Dialectical theology, shari'a (Islamic Law of Jurisprudence, according to the Maliki School). He also studied Arabic literature, philosophy, mathematics and astronomy. While still in his teens, he entered the service of the Egyptian ruler Sultan Barquq. Ibn Khaldun had to move from one court to another, sometimes at his own will, but often forced to do so by plotting rivals or despotic rulers. He learnt much from his encounters with rulers, ambassadors, politicians and scholars from North Africa, Muslim Spain, Egypt and other parts of the Muslim world.

(1332 C.E.) to an upper class family that had migrated from Seville in Muslim Spain. His ancestors were Yemenite Arabs who settled in Spain in the very beginning of Muslim rule in the eighth century, but after the fall of Seville, had migrated to Tunisia. He received his early education and where, still in his teens, he entered the service of the Egyptian ruler Sultan Barquq. His thirst for advanced knowledge and a better academic setting soon made him leave this service and migrate to Fez. During his formative years, Ibn Khaldun experienced his family's active participation in the intellectual life of the city, and to a lesser degree, its political life. This was followed by a long period of unrest marked by contemporary political rivalries affecting his career. The uncertainty of his career still continued, with Egypt becoming his final abode where he spent his last 24 years. Here he lived a life of fame and respect, marked by his appointment as the Chief Malakite Judge and lecturing at the AL-Azhar University, but envy caused his removal from his high judicial office as many as five times.

Written by Caroline Stone BRAUN AND HOGENBERG, CIVITATES ORBIS TERRARUM / BRIDGEMAN ART LIBRARY Ibn Khaldun was born in Tunis in 1332 to a family who had emigrated there following the Christian conquest of Seville nearly a century earlier. At that time, North Africa was in a state of political turbulence under the rule of the Morocco-based Marinid dynasty. To the east in Turkey, the Ottomans were beginning their rise to a half-millennium of empire, and still further east, the future conqueror Timur was born around the same time as Ibn Khaldun. The Black Death was stalking west from Central Asia toward the Mediterranean. BIBLIOTECA NACIONAL DE MADRID Scientific knowledge passed from the classical to the Muslim world and back again to the West through Spain and Byzantium. This transmission, which in part inspired the Renaissance, is beautifully exemplified in this 14th-century frontispiece to the Greek translation of the Zad al-Musafir by Ahmad ibn al-Jazzar (died 961). The work was a compilation of medical knowledge from Aristotle onward and was one of the leading reference books in medieval Europe. Ibn al-Jazzar appears at the bottom right; on the left is his translator, Constantine de Regio (also known as Constantine the African).

    Extractions: World Info can be thought of as a commentary on the work of Ibn Khaldun, who is said to have been the first social scientist. He lived from 1332-1406 and was a Muslim philosopher and statesman who provided a useful way of looking at the political and social conditions of the pre-modern world. He was born in Tunis and died in Cairo, where he is buried in the Sufi cemetery. He travelled to Morocco, Spain, Damascus and other parts of the Muslim world. He witnessed the attack of Tamurlain's troops on Damascus, and spoke with Pedro the Cruel of Castile. Government in our world has to deal with closely packed masses of people. In the ancient world the towns were smaller and more widely spaced. Government was more a matter of maintaining the peace between the towns than anything else. The army in settled countries was the first call on the resources of the government - and almost the last call as well. Every country had considerable areas of wild land not settled by farmers. The army's main task was to guard the settled land from attack by the nomads. There was a limited amount of settled land, and outside the governed areas there were huge regions where nomads lived without any government at all. These nomadic areas in North Africa, Arabia and the central part of Eurasia were one of the great uncertainties of political life. Out of them came from time to time invasions of the settled areas.

September-October 2006 Written by Caroline Stone Abu Zayd ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Khaldun al-Hadhrami, 14th-century Arab historiographer and historian, was a brilliant scholar and thinker now viewed as a founder of modern historiography, sociology and economics. Living in one of humankind’s most turbulent centuries, he observed at first hand—or even participated in—such decisive events as the birth of new states, the death throes of al-Andalus and the advance of the Christian reconquest, the Hundred Years’ War, the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, the decline of Byzantium and the great epidemic of the Black Death. Albert Hourani described Ibn Khaldun’s world as “full of reminders of the fragility of human effort”; out of his experiences, Arnold Toynbee wrote, “He conceived and created a philosophy of history that was undoubtedly the greatest work ever created by a man of intelligence….” So groundbreaking were his ideas, and so far ahead of his time, that a major exhibition now takes his writings as a lens through which to view not only his own time but the relations between Europe and the Arab world in our own time as well. —The Editors
