Abstract

In both of Islamic tradition and modern western social sciences (espacially
in history science) the name of Ibn Khaldun is one of the most recognized
and esteemed scholar. His originality is based on his studies on the nature
of history and structure of society.
Ibn Khaldun believed that the historical and social events may comprehen
ded by human mind and he made an effort to understand the logic of its
events. He claimed that social events must been explained in the context of
cause-result relations.
To understand and explain the history departing from its own roots, consi
dered the arising of history as a science in the modern scinetific meaning.
Thus we look at his masterwork, Mokaddime, we can seee that concepts
which used for defining the social and historical changes, are very conc
rete.
In this article I try to show the originality of Ibn Khaldun’s thoughts on
historical studies and to indicate his contributions to the idea of history in
the scientific context.
