Problems Of Using Khaldunian Philosophy In The Interpretation Of Some Political Issues

Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the most significant problems that have arisen as a result of the dependence on Khaldunian thought and philosophy as a framework for interpreting many current political concerns such as the state, the elite, the connection between the ruler and the ruled, and the army, by highlighting the viability of this concept in analyzing and interpreting these issues, particularly given that we live in a time where it differs from both the place and time of Ibn Khaldun, in which similar topics were treated extensively. On this basis, the present research paper addresses this topic through several elements: the first of which covers the most notable political concepts of Ibn Khaldun, the second of which deals with the feasibility of Khaldunian thinking as a framework for understanding some modern political challenges, and lastly some research recommendations centred on the development of Khaldunian thought in the political sphere.
