The present study is an attempt at reconstructing the views of Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi and Ibn Khaldun
into one coherent theoretical framework for the understanding of human socio-historical existence. Being
contemporaries who lived in the eighth/fourteenth cen-tury under almost similar socio-political and
cultural conditions that prevailed in North Africa and Andalus, both scholars embarked on an ambitious
project of radical reform. A jurist by training and profession who was dissatisfied with the legal
hermeneutic methodology of Muslim jurists, al-Shatibi was concerned about developing a holistic
approach to the study and interpretation of Islam’s textual sources (the Qur’an and the Prophet’s Sunnah)

ethico-legal system governing human socio-historical existence as a multifaceted and dynamic reality. His

consisted in developing a new and comprehensive legal hermeneutics whereby Islamic spiritual, moral
and legal teachings are seen to revolve around realizing and promoting five necessary universal
objectives. ..... |
