THE POSSIBILITY OF META-HISTORY
Abstract
This paper evaluates the post modernist critique of Enlightenment rationality. It argues that the universal claims of Enlightenment epistemology have been effectively deconstructed. However, a universal rationality is possible and Imam Ibn Khaldun’s work on history provides a basis for explications of universal rationality.References
