The Philosophical Context of Education in Light of the Khaldounian Thought from the Tribalism Paradigm’s Perspective

Abstract

Ibn Khaldun's philosophical contributions span diverse domains, including philosophy, religion, ethics, and civilization, significantly informing his unique perspective on historical and civilizational cycles. Through the lens of neurology, his insights offer valuable perspectives on the emergence of human civilization, a concept intricately linked to his era. This perspective comprehensively addresses society's foundational and structural aspects, concurrently recognizing neurology's dynamic role as a societal driving force and a discerning historical marker. Within this framework, education assumes a fundamental role within human civilization, governed by a carefully structured paradigm. Ibn Khaldun's literary works reveal profound reflections on education and academia, highlighting the intrinsic interdependence of urban development and educational requisites. Consequently, Ibn Khaldun's scholarship presents a comprehensive and pedagogically insightful methodology, emphasizing the pivotal position of education in the broader spectrum of human development.
