Klappentext

Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) is a significant intellectual figure within the Muslim world. He is seen as the founding father of sociology, whilst making significant contributions in the fields of history, economics and philosophy. Despite the growth in the study of Ibn Khaldun in the West, his contributions to the field of social science is often limited to the academic communtiy. This book aims to bring the works of Ibn Khaldun to a much broader audience by drawing upon his magnum opus, the Muqaddimah, to provide insights into his ideas on education, sociology and history.
