Özet:

Ibn Khaldun has a leading position in the social sciences with his multidisciplinary approach that is globally approved. This multidisciplinary approach is clearly seen in the Muqaddimah, his unique work. He established a new branch of science which is called as ‘Ilm-i Umran (The Science of Prosperity)’. Prosperity and asabiyya are two key concepts of his new science. Asabiyya (feeling of solidarity) has play an important role in the formation of social and political structures which it’s traces could be seen throughout history. Without disregarding its sui generis structure, we consider Ibn Khaldun’s ‘asabiyya’ as a concept which will add new colors and dimensions to the plural/collective identity designs. In this sense, asabiyya concept that includes definitions such as social coherence, communal spirit and group solidarity could be associated with collective identity. Global Asabiyya approach which has been put forward in this article as a collective social design refers to the formation and reinforcement of loyalties, identities and belongingness within a humane ideal. As a compound vector including different mentalities and reasoning, global asabiyya will enable the check-up of world cultures and civilizations.
