Social theory
Medieval

There is evidence of early Muslim sociology from the 14th century: in Ibn Khaldun 's Muqaddimah (later translated as Prolegomena in Latin), the introduction to a seven volume analysis of universal history, was the first to advance social philosophy and social science in formulating theories of social cohesion and social conflict. Ibn Khaldun is thus considered by many to be the forerunner of sociology. Khaldun's treatise described in Muqaddimah (Introduction to History), published in 1377, two types of societies: (1) the city or town -dweller and (2) the mobile, nomadic societies.
