Sobre IBD

In the tumultuous 14th century, a scholar-statesman lived a life of extraordinary highs and lows. From the royal courts of North Africa and Spain to periods of imprisonment and exile, Ibn Khaldun’s tumultuous journey mirrored the very forces of history he sought to understand. This is the story of how his chaotic life became the crucible for a revolutionary new way of thinking.He was the first to ask why civilizations rise and fall. He was the first to propose a 'science of human society,' exploring the powerful role of asabiyyah (group solidarity), the inevitable dynastic cycle, and the profound impact of economics and geography on human destiny.The Architect of a New Science is more than a biography; it’s a journey into the mind of a timeless visionary. It brings to life Ibn Khaldun’s historic meeting with the conqueror Timur and reveals how his theories, born centuries ago, continue to offer a powerful lens for understanding our own world. Prepare to discover the untold story of the intellectual giant who laid the groundwork for modern history, sociology, and economics. Approx.162 pages, 29500 word count
