The study delves into the contributions of 14th-century Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, who pioneered a unique science of history and culture influenced by Plato, Aristotle, and Islamic thought. It highlights his belief that history is more closely tied to human action than political philosophy, addressing a gap in ancient scholarship. The book analyzes Islamic historiography and Ibn Khaldun's methodology, emphasizing the significance of his reflections on history and their implications for understanding culture and the art of history.
