POLITICAL AUTHORITY AND LEGITIMACY PROBLEM IN IBN KHALDUN
description Ibn Khaldun was a famous historian, sociologist, philosopher and the founder of sociology. This study examines the relationship between political authority and legitimacy in the context of Ibn Khaldun's views. In this context, such concepts as prosperity (umran), collective conscience (asabiye), possession (mülk), caliphate (hilafet), which are closely related to the concept of political authority, are examined. Politics is a search for 'the best' in a way. It defines an ethical paradigm in which the philosophy of politics is built on the contradictions between ex post and de lege ferenda (between what is and what should be). In this respect, the pursuit of legitimacy in politics predicates an ethical grounding and also the relationship between politics and ethics. This phenomenon, the questions of the legitimacy of politics and political power, has a dynamic continuity and problematic in itself at every stage of the government's dynamic process. Legitimacy is the belief that the individual and the managers are justified by the authority. The concept of legitimacy of politics is the expression of a search for steady criteria against changes and the merits of the legitimacy ground within different processes. Legitimacy is the name of the principle that is based on political obedience away from habits and relies on a normative ground.
