ETIKA POLITIK IDENTITAS DALAM PERSPEKTIF ASHABIYYAH IBN KHALDŪN

Abstract

Oppressive power is caused by a lack of awareness of political ethics. Power in democratic times comes from the support of the people. Power that oppresses the people is a phenomenon that contradicts the essence of democracy. Apart from the problem of oppression, there is also the phenomenon of identity politics which on the one hand is positive, namely solidarity, and on the other hand is considered to have the potential to divide society. This research examines power, identity politics from the perspective of Ibn Khaldūn 's thought, to find a basis for philosophical thinking regarding ethics and the power relations discussed. This discussion is important for understanding Islamic politics, power relations, and relevant interpretations of identity politics.
