20. The most distinctive feature of his thought is his emphasis on group feeling
and solidarity which he calls "asabiyah" from an Arabic root referring
to paternal kinsmen. As its derivation suggests, asabiyah is found first
and foremost among blood relatives. Nonetheless, its real cause is not
blood but
"social intercourse, friendly association, long familiarity,
and the companionship that results from ... sharing the ... Circumstances
of life and death."
It is group feeling, Ibn Khaldun says, that makes possible
all great social achievements, from religious reforms to the founding
and defense of dynasties.

to make it possible.”
