Ibn Khaldun believed that history should be studied using a rational, scientific method that analyzed causes and effects in society.

He emphasized investigating social, economic, and political causes (e.g., asabiyyah, rise and fall of dynasties) rather than treating history as mere chronicle, state propaganda, or purely supernatural explanation.
