The Assabiya´s Kaleidoscope: Analysis, Risks and Perspectives. The Influence of Ibn Khaldun in a Context of Crisis

Author(s): Giovanni Patriarca
Subject(s): Politics / Political Sciences

Keywords: Islamic philosophy; history of economic thought; comparative political philosophy.

Summary/Abstract: In a context of geo-political changes, the Arab and Islamic world re-discovers, as usual in moments of crisis, the social and economic thought of Ibn Khaldun and his concept of assabiya to analyse the challenges and the risks of the present times. There is, also, a significant attempt to found an autonomous and autochtonous way of political approach in order to attribute a local philosophical origin and intellectual paternity to the recent revolts in contrast with any ”westernized” aspect or interpretation.
