Studies on Ibn Khaldun and His Thought in Eurasia: Soviet and Post-Soviet Periods

Ebulfez Süleymanlı

The ideas of Ibn-Khaldun have attracted great attention in different parts of the world. There have been many studies on this subject during and after the Soviet period. During the Soviet period, scholars like Barthold, Kirabayev, Ignatenko, and Smirnov not only explored Ibn Khaldun’s scientific thoughts on philosophy, history and sociology, but also his views on state and society. In these studies, due to some ideological approaches, the emphasis was placed more on the humanistic dimension of Ibn Khaldun and his views were dealt within the context of the phenomenon of class. In this period, Ibn Khaldun’s work also attracted the attention of historians and orientalists, and historians considered Ibn Khaldun’s Kitab al-Ibar as one of the main sources for studying the history of North African societies. Studies which approached Ibn Khaldun from a Marxist perspective treat mainly his views on economics and history. Besides, considering that Muqaddimah has not yet been translated to Russian, it can be said that Russian studies on Ibn Khaldun is not adequate. After the USSR period, there is a growing interest in Ibn Khaldun’s scientific tradition and both Russia and the newly independent Turkic Republics produced numerous works in relation to the subject and his views were analyzed in various dissertations. Especially Ibn Khaldun’s theory of “asabiyyah” has often been used to explain the newly emerging situations in the context of the independence of these countries.

SSCB ve Sonrası Dönemde Avrasya Bölgesinde İbn Haldun ve Düşünceleri Üzerine Yapılan Çalışmalar

Ebulfez Süleymanlı

İbn Haldun’un düşünceleri dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde yoğun ilgi görmüştür. Eski SSCB ve sonrası dönemde bu konu hakkında çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Sovyet döneminde Batsiyeva, Barthold, Kirabayev, İgnatenko ve Smirnov gibi bilim adamları tarafından İbn Haldun’un düşünceleri felsefe, tarih ve sosyoloji bilimi boyutlarıyla ele alınmış, onun devlet ve topluma ilişkin görüşleri irdelenmiştir. Bu çalışmalarda, birtakım ideolojik yaklaşımlar dolayısıyla, daha ziyade İbn Haldun’un düşüncelerinin hümanist yönü üzerinde durulmuş ve İbn Haldun’un görüşleri sınıf olgusu bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Bu dönemde İbn Haldun’un çalışmaları aynı zamanda tarihçilerin ve şarkiyatçıların ilgisini çekmiş ve tarihçiler özellikle Kuzey Afrika toplumlarının tarihini araştırmak için İbn Haldun’un Kitab el-İber adlı eserini ana kaynaklardan biri olarak kabul etmişlerdir. İbn Haldun’a Marksist bakış açısıyla yaklaşan çalışmalar, onun en fazla iktisat ve tarih ile ilgili görüşlerini ele almıştır. Bununla birlikte, Mukaddime’nin Rusçaya henüz tam olarak çevrilmediği dikkate alınacak olursa, İbn Haldun’la ilgili Rus literatüründe söz konusu olan çalışmaların bir bakıma yetersiz kaldığı söylenebilir. SSCB dönemi sonrasında da İbn Haldun’un ilim geleneğine olan yoğun ilgi devam etmiş, hem Rusya hem de bağımsızlıklarını kazanan yeni Türk Cumhuriyetleri’nde konuya ilişkin çok sayıda eserler verilmiş ve ayrıca düşünürün görüşlerini pek çok yönden ele alan doktora tezleri yapılmıştır. Özellikle İbn Haldun’un “asabiyet” kuramı bu ülkelerin bağımsızlığı bağlamında ortaya çıkan yeni durumları açıklamak üzere sıkça başvurulan bir görüş haline gelmiştir.

EXTENDED ABSTRACT


The rich ideas of Ibn Khaldun, one of the most important thinkers in Islamic history, on subjects like society, history, politics, city, country, and civilization have influenced many thinkers and scholars in the East and the West. Ibn Khaldun’s political and social thought has aroused great interest in the Eurasia region, where the Russian language is commonly spoken. A large number of books, theses, and papers have been written about Ibn Khaldun during the USSR and post-USSR periods in different countries in the region. During the Soviet period, Ibn Khaldun’s ideas were tackled in philosophical, historical, and sociological dimensions, and his views on state and society were analyzed by scholars such as Batsiyeva, Barthold, Kirabayev, İgnatenko, and Smirnov. It is seen that the majority of the works from that period bear the ideological forms of that period, especially the historical materialist perspective. Studies which approached Ibn Khaldun from a Marxist perspective treat mainly his views on economics and history. Those who examined Ibn Khaldun’s views on economics claimed that economics constitutes the main dynamics of social change/transformation in his thought. However, Ibn Khaldun has been studied by relying generally on disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, politics, and economics.

A significant part of the analyses on Ibn Khaldun during the Soviet era were about his works concerning methodology and philosophy of history. Ibn Khaldun’s works have an important place particularly in scientific research about the history of Islam. Likewise in the post-USSR period, there is a growing interest in Ibn Khaldun’s scientific (ilim) tradition, and several works and dissertations were produced on the subject in both Russia and the newly independent Turkic Republics. In this period, many studies have elaborated Ibn Khaldun’s thoughts on the state, economics, society, and education. Besides, it should be noted that not all parts of Muqaddimah were examined. Researchers have usually emphasized only a certain part of Muqaddimah while trying to present a holistic picture of his concept. It also appears that may researchers tend to compare Ibn Khaldun’s ideas with European philosophers, sociologists, political economists, and culturalists of later periods. In these studies, analyses were done about the conceptualizations of Ibn Khaldun on power and state. In addition, an emphasis was put on his social-philosophical and historical-philosophical views by investigating their place in Ibn Khaldun’s philosophy. In this respect, Zolotuhin’s dissertation should be highlighted. Indeed, he attempts to handle the concepts in Muqaddimah in a holistic approach and, relying on Smirnov’s methodology, determines their relations and connections by revealing the meanings of the main concepts.

At the same time, considering that Muqaddimah has not yet been translated to Russian, it can be said that Russian studies on Ibn Khaldun are not adequate. This situation is due to the fact that it is very difficult to translate Ibn Khaldun’s terminology to translate from Arabic to other languages. This hardship is experienced in approaching his works as well. That is why the analyses about Ibn Khaldun remain in a narrow scope in which scholars’ views happen to be repetitive in various aspects. It is observed that there has been a growing interest for Islamic thinkers as a return to tradition in Turkic Republics that gained independence after the collapse of USSR in 1991. Accordingly, Ibn Khaldun has been one of those figures. Especially his concept asabiyyah has been frequently used in order to clarify new circumstances emerged after these countries have become independent. It should be pointed out that in Azerbaijan more studies done on Ibn Khaldun as researchers from Azerbaijan have the means to benefit from Turkish sources along with the Russian ones. Besides Azerbaijan, researchers from the Republic of Tajikistan are also interested in Ibn Khaldun’s thought. However, in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, Ibn Khaldun-related works are limited to the sections about his views on state government in political science books, and encyclopedia entries.
