His most famous work, \u003ci\u003eBadāʾiʿ al-Silk fī Ṭabāʾiʿ al-Mulk\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eUnprecedented Lines about the Nature of Political Rule\u003c\/i\u003e), is a political treatise that builds upon Ibn Khaldūn's (d. 808\/1406) social theory (\u003ci\u003eꜤilm al-Ꜥumrān\u003c\/i\u003e). In \u003ci\u003eThe grand critic of Ibn Khaldūn\u003c\/i\u003e Elena Şahin critically analyses the major aspects of Ibn al-Azraq's political thought.\u003cbr\u003e In this contribution on the field of the history of Islamic political thought, Elena Şahin demonstrates that while Ibn al-Azraq integrates the thrust of Ibn Khaldūn's approach, Ibn al-Azraq's work should be regarded as part of a larger conversation amongst various scholars, engaging, for example with the Andalusian jurist al-Shāṭibī's (d. 790\/1388) theory of \u003ci\u003eMaqāṣid al-Sharīʿa\u003c\/i\u003e. Widening the analysis of Ibn al-Azraq's work illuminates that Ibn al-Azraq's political theory was in opposition to that of Ibn Khaldūn, and thus gives us a better understanding of the dynamic debates within Andalusian political thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Sahin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004525033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004525030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Elena Sahin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372266180863,"sku":"9789004525030","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de4c5c3c-6a00-4212-a6e5-ab25a28bf249.jpg?v=1732725480","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grand-critic-of-ibn-elena-sahin-9789004525030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
