GARCIA FERNANDEZ, Javier. The Historiographical Legacy of Ibn Khaldūn in the Poscolonial Discussion: A Perspective from Al-Andalus. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2023, vol.58, n.3, pp.453-479.  Epub Oct 20, 2023. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v58i3.2807.

This text aims to construct new, non-Eurocentric views of world history by recovering the legacy of Ibn Khaldūn (1332-1402) and incorporating it into postcolonial discussions. The article argues that non-European and non-Western references are necessary for a philosophy of history that recognizes the existence of plural experiences, epistemologies, and worldviews. The author develops ideas for a history of global thought from the Western Mediterranean experience.

Keywords : postcolonialism; philosophy of history; Mediterranean Sea; critique of eurocentrism; Al-Andalus paradigm.
