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.

23. "Ibn Khaldun, The Father Of Economics" Ibrahim M. Oweiss looks at the 14th century Arab historian's pioneering work in the fields of labor theory and economics. In his Prolegomena (The Muqaddimah), 'Abd alRahman ibn Muhammad ibn khaldun al-Hadrami of Tunis (A.D. http://www.georgetown.edu/oweiss/ibn.htm

IBRAHIM M. OWEISS In his Prolegomena (The Muqaddimah), 'Abd al-Rahman Ibn Muhammad Ibn Khaldun al-Hadrami of Tunis (A.D. 1332-1406), commonly known as Ibn Khaldun, laid down the foundations of different fields of knowledge, in particular the science of civilization (al-'umran). His significant contributions to economics, however, should place him in the history of economic thought as a major forerunner, if not the "father," of economics, a title which has been given to Adam Smith, whose great works were published some three hundred and seventy years after Ibn Khaldun's death. Not only did Ibn Khaldun plant the germinating seeds of classical economics, whether in production, supply, or cost, but he also pioneered in consumption, demand, and utility, the cornerstones of modern economic theory. Before Ibn Khaldun, Plato and his contemporary Xenophon presented, probably for the first time In writing, a crude account of the specialization and division of labor. On a non-theoretical level, the ancient Egyptians used the techniques of specialization, particularly in the era of the Eighteenth Dynasty, in order to save time and to produce more work per hour. Following Plato, Aristotle proposed a definition of economics and considered the use of money in his analysis of exchange. His example of the use of a shoe for wear and for its use in exchange was later presented by Adam Smith as the value in use and the value in exchange. Another aspect of economic thought before Ibn Khaldun was that of the Scholastics and of the Canonites, who proposed placing economics within the framework of laws based on religious and moral perceptions for the good of all human beings. Therefore all economic activities were to be undertaken in accordance with such laws.

25. Ibn Khaldun And Comte: Discontinuity Or Progress Short essay that argues for including a session on ibn khaldun (comparing him to Comte) in a social theory syllabus. http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~frers/ibn_khaldun.html

Ibn Khaldun and Comte Discontinuity or Progress Author: Lars Frers, November 1999 e-mail: frers@zedat.fu-berlin.de www: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~frers This text as a .pdf file for offline reading: IbnKhaldunSyllabus.pdf Adobe is necessary) Contents Occident and Orient Nature or History Comparing Comte and Ibn Khaldun Dichotomies and the Muqaddimah ... References Occident and Orient In this paper, I want to promote Ibn Khaldun as a social theorist by lining out how and why Ibn Khaldun could be included into an early session of a social theory class. Instead of reading Hobbes and Comte under the title "Two Legacies: Order and Positivism: Hobbes and Comte" (as suggested in Tom Gieryn 's social theory graduate class at Indiana University in 1999) I would suggest reading and comparing Ibn Khaldun and Comte. The title of the session could be "Circularity or Progress: Ibn Khaldun and Comte". The central piece of Ibn Khaldun's work is The Muqaddimah , which was completed in 1377. In this text he develops a theory of what he calls 'ilm al-umran', which could be translated as the study of social organization or civilization or as the science of human association/the science of culture Bringing Ibn Khaldun into the syllabus would reflect these contributions and acknowledge post-colonialist critiques al least to some extent. (b) I would see one of the goals of a graduate class on sociological theory in presenting to the students a view on the field of sociology that shows them how sociological theory is rooted in its contemporary culture. Ibn Khaldun is an excellent example for this embeddedness as he embarks on the analysis of medieval North Africa. His texts a a very vivid example, showing how a new perspective of one's own environment can be reconstructed through the use of sociological argumentation.

Ibn Khaldun Abd al-Rahman Ibn Mohammad is generally known as Ibn Khaldun after a remote ancestor. His parents, originally Yemenite Arabs, had settled in Spain, but after the fall of Seville, had migrated to Tunisia. He was born in Tunisia in 1332 A.D., where 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 know- ledge and a better academic setting soon made him leave this service and migrate to Fez. This was followed by a long period of unrest marked by contemporary political rivalries affecting his career. This turbulent period also included a three year refuge in a small village Qalat Ibn Salama in Algeria, which provided him with the opportunity to write Muqaddimah , the first volume of his world history that won him an immortal place among historians, sociologists and philosophers. 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. Ibn Khaldun's chief contribution lies in philosophy of history and sociology. He sought to write a world history preambled by a first volume aimed at an analysis of historical events.

Civil Society: Democratization in the Arab World A Monthly Publication of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies Center Notes: The Deceased Priest of Enlightenment Ibrahim Abd El-Seid By Dr. Ahmed Sobhy Mashour The weekly meeting of the Riwaq Ibn Khaldun (Ibn Khaldun Forum) was due on August 31 st 1999. At this meeting, there was the absence of Ibrahim El-Seid who has sadly passed on. His Riwaq colleagues farewelled him on the same day. The late priest was one of tolerance, persistence, honesty, integrity and enlightenment. It is a fact that this enlightened priest has enriched the Egyptian intellectual life with his distinguished articles and researches. He tackled the most crucial, sensitive and controversial issues in a strictly objective manner. He was not by any chance hesitant to announce his findings and speak his opinion out loudly, no matter what the cost. Part of this cost was the gloomy scene at his funeral when the Egyptian Coptic Church refused to let his corpse into the Ard-el-Golf church for the ceremony. It was quite a shock for everyone at the funeral to see such a stance of the Coptic Church. Father Agathon performed the ceremony at the deceased's village tomb with great bitterness shaking all attendants.

Ibn Khaldun, 'Abd al-Rahman (1332-1406) Ibn Khaldun's work on the philosophy of history is a landmark of social thought. Many historians - Greek, Roman, Muslim and other - had written valuable historiography, but here we have brilliant reflections on the meaning, pattern and laws of history and society, as well as profound insights into the nature of social processes and the interconnections between phenomena in such diverse fields as politics, economics, sociology and education. By any reckoning, Ibn Khaldun was the outstanding figure in the social sciences between Aristotle and Machiavelli, and one of the greatest philosophers of history of all time. His most important philosophical work is the Muqaddima , the introduction to a much longer history of the Arabs and Berbers. In this work, Ibn Khaldun clearly defines a science of culture and expounds on the nature of human society and on political and social cycles. Different social groups, nomads, townspeople and traders, interact with and affect one another in a continuous pattern. Religion played an important part in Ibn Khaldun's conception of the state, and he followed al-Ghazali rather than Ibn Rushd as a surer guide to the truth.

Ibn Khaldun (1332-1395. A.D.) Ibn Khaldun is universally recognized as the founder and father of Sociology and Sciences of History. 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.
