Après avoir passé dix années à étudier l'œuvre d'Ibn Khaldûn (considéré par les grands sociologues contemporains comme le précurseur de la sociologie moderne), Mohamed Saouli nous propose un essai d'interprétation et de traduction condensé de La Muqaddima et y apporte un éclairage nouveau et pertinent, loin des préjugés et contresens des traductions françaises et anglaises qui résultent de la hiérarchisation occidentale des civilisations et qui produisent ainsi une confusion dans la compréhension de l'ensemble de la théorie politique et sociale d'Ibn Khaldûn. Ce livre présente la vie au Maghreb au XIVe siècle : les différents métiers, les sciences, l'importance de la pédagogie dans l'enseignement, l'influence du climat sur le caractère des hommes, les moyens de subsistance, la spéculation. Il décrit la prise et la perte du pouvoir politique, les formes de gouvernement des populations rurale et urbaine. Il explique les causes et les raisons des institutions, l'origine des peuples et des dynasties, la guerre et l'art militaire, les pratiques sociales populaires (magie, mendicité, poésie et musique ...). Il énumère les raisons qui ont provoqué les changements des croyances religieuses et fait une analyse critique des grands événements historiques, politiques et militaires qui ont marqué l'Histoire.

" By the mid-fourteenth century, the world empire founded by Genghis Khan was in crisis. The Mongol Ilkhanate had ended in Iran and Iraq, China’s Mongol rulers were threatened by the native Ming, and the Golden Horde and the Central Asian Mongols were prey to internal discord. Into this void moved the warlord Tamerlane, the last major conqueror to emerge from Inner Asia. In this authoritative account, Peter Jackson traces Tamerlane’s rise to power against the backdrop of the decline of Mongol rule. Jackson argues that Tamerlane, a keen exponent of Mongol custom and tradition, operated in Genghis Khan’s shadow and took care to draw parallels between himself and his great precursor. But, as a Muslim, Tamerlane drew on Islamic traditions, and his waging of wars in the name of jihad, whether sincere or not, had a more powerful impact than those of any Muslim Mongol ruler before him."

"The notion of adab is at the very heart of the Islamicate cultures. Born in the crucible of the Arabic and Persian civilisations of the Late Antiquity period, nourished by Greek, Syriac and Indian influences, this polysemic notion could cover a variegated range of meanings, ranging from good behaviour, good manners, etiquette, proper knowledge of the rules, to belles-lettres, and finally, literature. This volume addresses the notion of adab through four perspectives, which correspond to the four parts into which it is divided: "Origins"; "Transmissions"; "Metamorphosis" of the "Origins" and finally "Origins" through the lens of modernity".
