Ibn Khaldun provides us with a theory of how political order and settled life come about, and this also explains the nature of political order and settled life. In other words, what political order actually is, what it does, and why it is necessary, are all explained by this theory of how it originates. So the nature of human beings before they have political order also explains what this political order is like and how it works. When we look at Ibn Khaldun's ideas about the nature of political order, they differ from our ideas of the nature of political order. So we probably have different ideas also about the nature of human beings. How can we describe this difference? What different ideas about human beings do we tend to have, and how do they lead us to understand political order, especially a good political order, differently?
