The Promised Society;

The Ideal of the Scholars and the Social Reformers

"And when the customs of the mankind is totally changed, it is just like that all the creatures are revolutionized and the whole universe is subjected to upheaval; perhaps a new world is generated, novel creatures are born and creation is re-established."

If Ibn Khaldoon started his introduction to the appearance of a new civilization as above, he based his ideas on the general turmoil in his era .i.e. when North Africa and Andolos (Spain) was in great chaos.

In fact, the inability of his social and cultural environment to address the existing challenges promised a new era to be born. Ibn Khaldoon as an observer wanted to explore the root cause of such upheavals and disorder, since the current patterns could not explain the circumstances; therefore, he established a work program for himself trying to find the answers to the current ramble. This work program had two distinct objectives:

Collection of the past events that had lead to the current situation

Establishment of a work program for future

He believed that such upheaval is a repeated process and an un-detachable part of human life.

Ibn Khaldoon tried to find an answer to what Aristotle recognized as the main question of life, and that was "How is it possible to bring discipline into life?" so that it can guarantee a fair life which is both beneficial for the society as a whole and for each and every one of us. He called such guideline as "The Science of Civilization".

If we go through most of the scholars' lives we will come to this general conclusion that most of the great thinkers and philosophers minded to establish a framework in response to such universal crisis. In the fourth and the fifth centuries BC, Plato and Konfesius did the same thing as individuals like Mazdak and Agustinus did in their own era. In the recent centuries, thinkers like Makiavel, Thomas Haabz, Lak and Rosso, Hegel and Marks, wanted to do the same thing.

Hegel in his book "Phenomenon of spirits "talks about upraise of a new world:

"Observation of the fact that our era is the era of new births and is the period of transformation is not very difficult. In less than a second a new world is appeared." (Hegel 1967, p75)

Walter Binman - The American Thinker- has pointed out that:

"I have whole heartedly started writing a book to overcome the disorder ruling over the western societies". Binman and others have done their best to overcome such disorders and tried to provide methods to bring discipline back to human life. Marks in criticizing ????? said:

"Philosophers have interpreted the world in different ways; the problem is the change of the world".

Eric Hanerbam the contemporary Marksist historian has introduced Marks's question in different way. In his view the historians had no thought other than changing the world, Interpretation of the world is important.

In the book "A brief History of the 20^th century" he tries to find good explanations about the injustice and transgressions took place in the century which accommodated two world wars with millions of victims together with hundreds of wars and national, racial, and religious crises. The question which is in front of us is still vague and incoherent. Is it really the world which after a sad century has not changed or is it us who try to provide a new interpretation of the world at the beginning of the third millennium?
