Book excerpt: Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) is credited by many scholars to be the founder of sociology, specifically social conflict theory. Other scholars have indicated that he outlined a theory of political economy and political philosophy. Fewer scholars have viewed him as a philosopher of the stature of Ibn Sina or Ibn Rushd.
