Abstract: This paper explores the significant contributions of Ibn Hazm (994-1064 CE), a polymath from Andalusia, to both philosophy and history, emphasizing his unique interdisciplinary approach. Renowned for his profound engagement with various fields of knowledge, Ibn Hazm made substantial advances in philosophical thought, particularly in logic, ethics, and theology, while also revolutionizing historical methodology. This study examines his major works, thematic concerns, and the integration of his philosophical insights into his historiographical practice. Key works such as “The Ring of the Dove†(Tawq al-Hamamah) and “Al-Fisal fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa wa al-Nihal†are analyzed to illustrate his methodological rigor and commitment to a literalist interpretation of religious texts. The paper also discusses Ibn Hazm’s influence on subsequent Islamic thought and his legacy in both philosophy and historiography. Through an in-depth analysis, this study highlights Ibn Hazm’s enduring impact on Islamic intellectual traditions, his methodological innovations in history, and the relevance of his interdisciplinary approach in contemporary scholarship.
