The Muqaddimah (ألمقدمة), often translated as "Introduction" or "Prolegomenon," is the most important Islamic history of the premodern world. Written by the great fourteenth-century Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406), this monumental work established the foundations of several fields of knowledge, including the philosophy of history, sociology, ethnography, and economics. The first complete English translation, by the eminent Islamicist and interpreter of Arabic literature Franz Rosenthal, was published in three volumes in 1958 as part of the Bollingen Series and received immediate acclaim in the United States and abroad.

This book, first published in 1957, is the study of 14th-century Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, who founded a special science to consider history and culture, based on the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle and their Muslim followers. In no other field has the revolt of modern Western thought against traditional philosophy been so far-reaching in its consequences as in the field of history. Ibn Khaldun realized that history is more immediately related to action than political philosophy because it studies the actual state of man and society. He found that the ancients had not made history the object of an independent science, and thought it was important to fill this gap. A factual acquaintance with the conclusions of Ibn Khaldun’s reflections on history is not the same as the full comprehension of their theoretical significance. When these fundamental questions are answered, it becomes possible to pose the specific question of the relation of Ibn Khaldun’s philosophy of history, or his new science of culture, to other practical sciences and, particularly, to the art of history. After an exposition of the major trends of Islamic historiography, part of this book attempts to answer this question through the analysis of the method and intention of the sections of the ‘History’ where Ibn Khaldun himself examines the works of major Muslim historians, shows the necessity of the new science of culture, and distinguishes it from other practical sciences.

"Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) is generally regarded as the greatest intellectual ever to have appeared in the Arab world--a genius who ranks as one of the world's great minds. Yet the author of the Muqaddima, the most important study of history ever produced in the Islamic world, is not as well known as he should be, and his ideas are widely misunderstood. In this groundbreaking intellectual biography, Robert Irwin provides an engaging and authoritative account of Ibn Khaldun's extraordinary life, times, writings, and ideas. Irwin tells how Ibn Khaldun, who lived in a world decimated by the Black Death, held a long series of posts in the tumultuous Islamic courts of North Africa and Muslim Spain, becoming a major political player as well as a teacher and writer. Closely examining the Muqaddima, a startlingly original analysis of the laws of history, and drawing on many other contemporary sources, Irwin shows how Ibn Khaldun's life and thought fit into historical and intellectual context, including medieval Islamic theology, philosophy, politics, literature, economics, law, and tribal life. Because Ibn Khaldun's ideas often seem to anticipate by centuries developments in many fields, he has often been depicted as more of a modern man than a medieval one, and Irwin's account of such misreadings provides new insights about the history of Orientalism. In contrast, Irwin presents an Ibn Khaldun who was a creature of his time--a devout Sufi mystic who was obsessed with the occult and futurology and who lived in an often-strange world quite different from our own"--Jacket.

The Prolegomena of Ibn Khaldun are in many ways the most remarkable manifestation of Islamic philosophical thought. Not only did Ibn Khaldun sum up the accumulated knowledge and leading doctrines of his civilisation, but in many fields he broke new ground and anticipated the findings of Western social scientists of the last two centuries. The passages have been grouped to illustrate Ibn Khaldun's views on: Historical Method; Geography; Economics; Public Finance; Population; Society and State; Religion and Politics; Knowledge and Society; The Theory of Being; The Theory of Knowledge. This translation is intended for students of thought, rather than specialised Arabic scholars, and for those interested in the intellectual background of the Arab world. First published in 1950 and reprinted several times, this revision contains a new chapter and a thoroughly revised and updated bibliography.

Welcome, dear reader, to a captivating journey through the life and legacy of one of history's most remarkable minds—Ibn Khaldun. Ibn Khaldun (Arab, 1332-1406): Historian, philosopher, and sociologist. He is considered the founder of the modern discipline of sociology. He made significant contributions to the fields of history, economics, and politics. He is also credited with developing the concept of the "asabiya", or group solidarity. Prepare to embark on an expedition through time, as we unravel the story of a man who not only left an indelible mark on the tapestry of human understanding but also laid the foundation for what we now recognize as the modern discipline of sociology. In the bustling corridors of history, Ibn Khaldun emerges as a beacon of knowledge, a polymath whose intellectual brilliance spanned vast realms of thought. Born amidst the ebb and flow of the 14th century, in the North African city of Tunis, he would go on to craft a legacy that defies the confines of time. Our voyage begins by peering into the early chapters of Ibn Khaldun's life. Picture a young boy, curious and inquisitive, as he embarks on a journey of intellectual discovery. From his earliest days, the seeds of curiosity were sown, nurtured by a family that recognized the boundless potential within him. As we journey through the pages of this biography, you will witness the blossoming of Ibn Khaldun's insatiable thirst for knowledge. His pursuit led him through the corridors of renowned centers of learning, where he imbibed the wisdom of scholars who came before him. These formative years sculpted the mind of a visionary thinker, laying the groundwork for his later contributions. Central to our exploration is the magnum opus that etched his name into the annals of history—the monumental "Muqaddimah," a work that dared to chart new territories of understanding. With unparalleled insight, Ibn Khaldun dissected the fabric of society, offering a lens through which we glimpse the intricate interplay of human relations, politics, and economics. The chapters of this book will take you on a guided tour through the corridors of his thought. We'll delve into his observations on the rise and fall of civilizations, his ground-breaking theories on social cohesion and disintegration, and his musings on the cyclical nature of human affairs. But this journey isn't confined to the pages of the past—it extends its tendrils into the present, where Ibn Khaldun's ideas continue to shape scholarly discourse and contemporary perspectives. Amidst the historical vistas and intellectual landscapes, we will encounter the man himself—Ibn Khaldun. Beyond his scholarly pursuits, we'll catch glimpses of his interactions with rulers, his travels to distant lands, and the wisdom he imparted to those who sought his counsel. Yet, no exploration is complete without acknowledging the echoes of debate and critique that have reverberated through the corridors of time. Just as Ibn Khaldun's ideas have inspired awe, they have also sparked discussions that challenge and enrich our understanding. As we traverse these chapters, remember that this biography is not merely a recounting of dates and facts. It is an invitation to traverse the footsteps of a great mind, to glimpse the world through his perceptive eyes, and to marvel at the intellectual edifice he constructed. So, dear reader, fasten your seatbelt as we embark on this enthralling journey through the life and mind of Ibn Khaldun. Our destination is a profound understanding of a man whose legacy continues to illuminate the corridors of academia and shape the contours of how we perceive our world.

Ibn Khalduns chief contribution lies in philosophy of history and sociology. He sought to write a world history pre-ambled by a first volume aimed at offering a theoretical analysis of historical events. This volume, commonly known as Muqaddimah or Prolegomena, was based on Ibn Khalduns unique theoretical approach and original scientific contribution and became a masterpiece in literature on philosophy of history and sociology. In this book Dr Kamal Mirawdeli reconstructs Ibn Khladuns theory of history in a clear systematic way grasping not only his original themes and innovative ideas but also offering a very accessible analytical context which helps the reader to understand the conditions of the possibility of Ibn Khalduns philosophy of history, its mode of existence and its political function as a tool for explaining the relationship between knowledge and power.
