Society, State, and Urbanism : Ibn Khaldun's Sociological Thought
- نوع فایل : کتاب
- زبان : انگلیسی
- نویسنده : Fuad Baali
Description
Several writers believe that Ibn Khaldun was the first to lay down the foundation of what we call sociology, and accordingly he is "the first sociologist" and "the father of sociology." 5 However, none of these writers presented a detailed explanation to convince their readers of Ibn Khaldun's contributions. A detailed, comprehensive, and documented study is needed. Hopefully, this treatise will satisfy that need; and by emphasizing the sociological perspective of this Arab thinker's contributions, the challenges and rewards that can accompany such a work will be realized.
