Recenzje

Robert Irwin takes a genuinely fresh look at one of the greatest Arab thinkers. Too often--as he shows--Ibn Khaldun has been lifted out of the fourteenth century and remodeled to fit our modern assumptions. This lively and deeply knowledgeable account makes him authentically unmodern, and utterly fascinating.--Noel Malcolm, All Souls College, University of Oxford
