ابن خلدون مؤسس فلسفة التاريخ

Abstract EN

.

The prevailed trend in the modern era, on the subject of the interpretation of the process of history, begins with Mikiavelli (1469-1527) and Voltaire (1694-1778).

This trend has established an epistemological rupture with the former theological thinking; which indicates that History is not made by gods, but by human beings.

For this purpose Thinkers need to look for the reasons behind the History evolution and change.

The emergence of this modern and contemporary trend concerning the History process was the main cause behind the Philosophy of History birth.

However, our scientific aim from this article is to argue that Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) agrees with modern and contemporary thought, I the case of contemplating and analyzing the human events to extract the laws that govern them, away from the will of any transcendent explanation.

As result, if we can prove this scientific attitude, it will be proved that Ibn Khaldun is the real founder of the philosophy of history before the Western philosophers of history and civilization.
