The Notion Of Asabiyya (group Feeling) In Ibn Khaldun's Philosophy"

Authors : Alla Mokhtar . Hassen Ahmed . Brahim Ahmed .

Abstract

Our study is an attempt to shed light on some aspects of the life of the thinker Ibn Khaldun, who reflected the spirit of his time, through examining the key intellectual issues he was concerned with, particularly the concept of " Asabiyya" (social solidarity). This concept is considered a fundamental key to understanding his philosophy. We have concluded that the concept of Asabiyya (group feeling) , in Ibn Khaldun's perspective, is not only essential for understanding historical events but also carries multiple meanings and connotations that can be fully understood through exploring its relationships with other interconnected concepts such as urbanization, religion, and ethics.
