تاثيرپذيري ابن‌خلدون از ابن‌اثير

Influence of Ibn –Atir on Ibn Khaldun

هر چند تفكرات و نظريات ابن‌خلدون از اصالت و تازگي خاصي برخوردار و حاوي مطالب ابتكاري فراواني است، اما بدون ترديد در پاره‌اي موارد تحت تاثير پيشينيان قرار دارد و بين آرا او و دانشمندان متقدم مسلمان اشتراكاتي وجود دارد. يكي از متقدمين تاثيرگذار بر ابن‌خلدون، ابن‌اثير صاحب كتاب الكامل است كه در اثرش بارقه‌هايي از تفكر تاريخي را بدست مي‌دهد. ابن‌خلدون هم در تاريخ العبر و هم در مقدمه از ابن‌اثير تاثير پذيرفته، اما در مقدمه از وي ياد نكرده است. اين مقاله بر آن است تا ضمن نشان دادن تاثيرپذيري ابن‌خلدون از وي، چرايي اين سكوت ابن‌خلدون را به بحث گذارد؟

Though thoughts and ideas of Ibn Khaldun had special originality and innovation with numerous creative subjects, there is no doubt that some of these issues are under the influence of preceding thoughts and there are some commonalities between his thoughts and those of preceding Muslim scholars. One of the predecessors who influenced Ibn Khaldun was Ibn Athir, the writer of al-K?mil, who had a spark of historical thoughts in his work. Ibn Khaldun had been impressed by Ibn Athir in al-Kit?bu l-ib?r, but he did not mention him in the introduction (Muqaddimah known as Prolegomena) of his book. The aim of this article is to signify the influence of Ibn- Athir on Ibn Khaldun and discuss the issue of Ibn Khaldun’s silence on Ibn Athir’s influence in his works.
