View full profile →

Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406) was a Tunisian historian, philosopher, and statesman, best known for his monumental work, the Muqaddimah, which laid the foundations for historiography, sociology, and economics. He served as a judge and advisor in various North African and Andalusian courts, and his experiences shaped his empirical, cyclical view of history. His ideas on social cohesion (asabiyyah) and the rise and fall of civilizations remain influential.
