The definitive account of the life and thought of the medieval Arab genius who wrote the Muqaddima
Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406) is generally regarded as the greatest intellectual ever to have appeared in the Arab world--a genius who ranks as one of the world's great minds. Yet the author of the Muqaddima, the most important study of history ever produced in the Islamic world, is not as well known as he should be, and his ideas are widely misunderstood. In this groundbreaking intellectual biography, Robert Irwin provides an engaging and authoritative account of Ibn Khaldun's extraordinary life, times, writings, and ideas.
Irwin tells how Ibn Khaldun, who lived in a world decimated by the Black Death, held a long series of posts in the tumultuous Islamic courts of North Africa and Muslim Spain, becoming a major political player as well as a teacher and writer. Closely examining the Muqaddima, a startlingly original analysis of the laws of history, and drawing on many other contemporary sources, Irwin shows how Ibn Khaldun's life and thought fit into historical and intellectual context, including medieval Islamic theology, philosophy, politics, literature, economics, law, and tribal life. Because Ibn Khaldun's ideas often seem to anticipate by centuries developments in many fields, he has often been depicted as more of a modern man than a medieval one, and Irwin's account of such misreadings provides new insights about the history of Orientalism.
In contrast, Irwin presents an Ibn Khaldun who was a creature of his time—a devout Sufi mystic who was obsessed with the occult and futurology and who lived in an often-strange world quite different from our own.

是不是读了《历史绪论》再度这本书会好一点
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
首先我必须要说,做为阿语专业的学生,一些人名的翻译我实在是看不下去了,可能译者还需要再下点功夫,对有关阿拉伯语的翻译再多了解 伊本·赫勒敦这个名字一开始是在我考研的时候疯狂出现的,因为目标院校有研究北非的老师,所以对伊本·赫勒敦的关注很高。《历史绪论》作为了... (展开)天才是任人打扮的小姑娘
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
在读索恩出品的这本《伊本·赫勒敦:天才的一生》之前,我完全没听过这个名字,惭愧地讲,即便是他那本著名的《历史绪论》我也没任何印象。封面的美术风格倒是很有伊斯兰世界的感觉,精美奢华的繁复花纹,又透着一股宗教的意味。 一直觉得俄罗斯或者东欧的书中,外国人的名字是... (展开)伊斯兰世界的思想巅峰?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这是一本非常不好读的专著。他并不是一部真正意义上的人物传记,由于史料的缺失,作者大部分笔墨都在从伊本·赫勒敦的著作《历史绪论》和《警示书》中反推他的个人经历以及社会的面貌。而后人对于他的学术成就上的传承以及褒贬不一的评论显然体现了作者强大的阅读量,却对读者... (展开)> 更多书评 6篇

终于翻完了!看完之后对Ibn Khaldun的著作一点兴趣都没有。但是看到他这种千人千面的特性还是很佩服的。简直就是大力丸,包治百病。:) //看到43页,第三章。感觉在读阿拉伯版的魏晋南北朝史。。。
