الأساس الفكري لابن خلدون و خلفيته الإسلامية

Abstract EN

In spite of the abundance of research studies on Ibn Khaldun, none of which has treated of the issue of religion in his Introduction.

Other studies, however, have strived to portray Ibn Khaldun as if his writings had no relationship with his religious background either in the approach or in the subject matter.

As man is said to be the product of his society, so is Ibn Khaldun.

He is a Muslim scientist in Islamic jurisprudence, and his thought is purely Islamic.

Neither western non oriental investigators have, hinted to this crucial aspect, however.

The article attempts to highlight the famous personality of Ibn Khaldun and to show his original thought.
