5.0 out of 5 stars The most original of all philosophers, August 28, 2000
This review is from: An Arab Philosophy of History: Selections from the Prolegomena of Ibn Khaldun of Tunis (Hardcover)
Khaldum was an amazing person. Preceeding Machiavelli by 300 years he is more profound, more knowledgable and better read than the great Italian prince. Add to this the fact that Machiavelli comes from the Renaissance with all that that indicates while Kaldum came from a civilization that was - at the very least - morbund. How to account for such a book from such a time? He was hounded by his own time and neglected by later ages.

If you do not read Khaldum your knowledge of the subject is sadly lacking.
