Philosophy of law and culture of society:Case of Khaldunian thought

Abstract

Ibn Khaldun offered a realistic and pragmatic view that draws on the jurisprudence and conventional politics of society, and notes the importance of studying the laws of human urbanization in order to explain what is happening in terms of change and transformation in political life. Thus, Ibn Khaldun's position on the philosophy of law was firm and insightful, calling for a philosophy of law to build science and society, so he did not criticize the Greek sages or invalidate their teachings. He stated that the richness of political experience is due to the combination of these three sources, which led him to conclude that there is no antagonism between science and religion. In fact, we can well say that the definition of man based on the fact that he is a social being is a definition that does not go from the first term: man is civil, of course, to the second term: the man is a political being, rather he combines the two extremes, that is, social culture includes both civilization and politics, just as the Greek codex defined the term politics, and Aristotle himself even defined man as a political animal, and modern man has focused almost all of his efforts on urbanization and social citizenship.
