Abstract
Rifʿat al-Awadi’s article examines Ibn Khaldūn's views with respect to the epistemological standpoints of the philosophy of history, and the epistemological dimension in the establishment of the science of economics. The themes discussed include: Ibn Khaldūn and the philosophy of history (including Ibn Khaldūn’s thought in the philosophy of material interpretation of history, the causing factors of development in Khaldūnian thought, and the idea of determinism), and Ibn Khaldūn and the establishment of the science of economics (including the epistemological and analytical dimensions and economic law). The article concludes with a discussion of ta’ṣīl (a framework established upon referral to principal Islamic sources) of the epistemological dimension in economic studies.
