Description from the publisher:
This is the earliest critical study of history, the work of the Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun written in 1377 as the preface and first book of a world history. Though it is the preliminary section of history, the Muqaddimah has become known as a self contained work, treating in almost encyclopedic detail the general problems of the philosophy of history and sociology.
