The End of history and the last man
The End of History" would never have existed, either as an article or as this present book, without the invitation to deliver a lecture by that title during the 1988-89 academic year, extended by Professors Nathan Tarcov and Allan Bloom of the John M. Olin Center for Inquiry into the Theory and Practice of Democ- racy at the University of Chicago. Both have been long-time teach ers and friends …

Culture and history :Prolegomena to the comparative study of civilizations
T HE 'philosophy of history' is the term customarily used to designate those general and somewhat vague speculations about the pattern and meaning of historical events in which historians, philosophers and even theologians occasionally indulge. As the term itself shows, this is a branch of human thought which has not yet emerged from the womb of philosophy, philosophy, it has not yet become a s…

The philosophy of history
There has been a veritable Hegel Renaissance, especially in France and Germany. This renewed interest in Hegel is preoccupied with Hegel's metaphysical and religious ideas. The favorite work and the one having given rise to the most interesting discussions is the Phenomenology of the Spirit. The most remarkable book in this trend is Alexandre Kojëve, Introduction à la Lecture de Hegel-Leçons…

The birth of civilization in the near east
OUR SUBJECT is the birth of civilization in the Near East. We shall not, therefore, consider the question how civilization in the abstract became possible. I do not think there is an answer to that question; in any case it is a philosophical rather than a historical one. But it may be said that the material we are going to discuss has a unique bearing on it all the same. For the emergence of Eg…

A short history of civilization
WHOEVER would seek the origin of things that in countless ways control mankind begins an arduous task. One can readily tell when the radio, motion picture, airplane, or automobile appeared, for he well remembers the time he saw the first of these or at least can talk with people who saw the first ones. But it is more difficult to imagine the days when the internal-combustion engine was produced…

The Use of history
In recent years, European and American historians of Asia have spoken increasingly of the need to avoid Euro-centric views of Asian history. The need, they have observed, is to write from an Asian point of view. The history written by European colonial officials about native peoples and imperial governments has obviously had its day. Although there were some notable exceptions, such authors wer…

A study of history
Tr torical study which would be intelligible themselves within their own limits of space and time, without reference to extraneous historical events. The search for these self-contained units led us to find them in Societies of the species we called Civilizations, and so far we have been working on the assumption that a comparative study of the geneses, growths, breakdowns, breakdowns, and disi…
