Summary

Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) was a tremendously influential and important Muslim thinker. Sociologists, anthropologists, and historians study his great work on the philosophy of history, treating his Muqaddimahas a timeless philosophical accomplishment. Rejecting portrayals of this intellectual as a modern mind lost to obscure medieval thinking, Allen Fromherz demonstrates how historical context and personal motivations shaped Khaldun's ideas on tribalism, identity, religion, and history. He displays the rich and complex nature of Khaldun's memoirs, written during a politically tumultuous and religiously contentious time.

Author Biography

Allen James Fromherz is an Assistant Professor of Medieval Mediterranean and Islamic History at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He is author of The Almohads: The Rise of an Islamic Empire (2010) and Qatar: A Modern History (2011).
