Ibn Khaldun and John Locke’s Thoughts, Reframing Contemporary Education World Order

Abstract

Exploring two international philosophers’ scholarship with a lasting effect on education theory through a comparative qualitative study would help to synthesize alternative tools and epistemology to address the contemporary education landscape. Ibn Khaldun’s and John Locke’s intellectual legacy brought groundbreaking knowledge (Assabiyya & Social Contract), inspiring different social-political and modern education concepts. The findings indicated that though Ibn Khaldun and John Locke belong to other schools and eras, they share several philosophical and educational thoughts that enhance best education practices, hoping to turn the individual at the center of a new learning world order.
