Abstract:
This article explores a 1928 essay in which José Ortega y Gasset introduced Ibn Khaldūn to readers in Spain and off ered a philosophical explanation for how the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa remain intrinsically connected well beyond the Middle Ages by conceptionalizing History in a typical Khaldūnian vein—not only temporally but also spatially.
