نقش عصبيت در تاريخ از ديدگاه ابن خلدون

The Role of Fanaticism in History from the Perspective of Ibn Khaldoon

Ibn Khaldoon is one of the rare historians who were able to extract the interference of wisdom and reasoning in history from its traditional aspect. Creating a relation between history of science and other sciences such as geography, he mentions the effect of region on the life of human and creating history. The theory of ʹAsabiatʹ (Fanaticism) in history and its psychic effect on formation of governments is one of the most important conclusions of Ibn Khaldoom. It is very important for history researchers to pay attention to this point in order to investigate the reasons and factors of appearance and downfall of governments that have risen from the body of primitive tribes.
