Muh sin Mahdi

    Muḥsin Mahdī war eine führende Autorität für arabische Geschichte, Philologie und Philosophie, mit einem besonderen Interesse an politischer Philosophie. Seine Arbeit befasste sich eingehend mit der Untersuchung mittelalterlicher arabischer, hebräischer und lateinischer Texte, mit dem Ziel, strenge Methoden der kritischen Edition auf diese klassischen Werke anzuwenden. Mahdī widmete sich insbesondere der Wiederauffindung, Herausgabe und Interpretation von Alfarabis Schriften. Sein wissenschaftliches Erbe liegt in seinem unermüdlichen Streben nach Manuskripten und seinem Bemühen, neue Standards in der arabischen Philologie und Philosophie zu setzen.

      The study delves into the contributions of 14th-century Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, who pioneered a unique science of history and culture influenced by Plato, Aristotle, and Islamic thought. It highlights his belief that history is more closely tied to human action than political philosophy, addressing a gap in ancient scholarship. The book analyzes Islamic historiography and Ibn Khaldun's methodology, emphasizing the significance of his reflections on history and their implications for understanding culture and the art of history.
