Evaluation of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddima in Terms of Food Studies

Abstract

The Purpose of the Study: Food studies is a multidisciplinary academic field that examines the cultural, social, economic, and political dimensions of food. This study aims to evaluate Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah through the lens of food studies, thus providing a novel perspective on this classic text. The significance of this study is heightened by the fact that it is the first to analyze Ibn Khaldun's most important work, the Muqaddimah, from the perspective of food studies, thereby contributing substantially to the literature. Method: The study utilized document review as the primary data collection tool, with content analysis employed for data evaluation. Relevant passages in the Muqaddimah about food studies were identified through document scanning and subsequently categorized into themes via content analysis. These themes were then interpreted and evaluated in the context of food studies. Result: Content analysis of the identified passages revealed the overarching theme of “The effect of food on people and society.” This primary theme was further divided into five sub-themes: (1) food, nutrition, and culture; (2) food, nutrition, and social structure; (3) food, nutrition, and geography; (4) food, political, and economic systems; and (5) food, nutrition, religion, and health. Conclusion: The Muqaddimah offers a comprehensive examination of the effects of food on the economic and social structures of societies. It delves into the cultural, economic, and health dimensions of food, emphasizing the critical importance of food security for societal well-being and stability. Overall, this study provides a significant perspective on contemporary discussions and research in food studies, and it serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical roots of this field.
