Ancient tradition challenges the view that mankind is ever
progressing from ape-like origins towards an apotheosis of
humanity. The study of history tends to confirm the contrary thesis
of a gradual descent from a golden age to an age of iron. Yet
throughout history there have arisen societies that rise above
decline to exhibit the characteristics of a high civilisation,
where knowledge and art flourish and inspire later generations. The
Advancement of Civilisation in the Western World seeks to portray
these exemplary times of human genius, whilst showing them against
the background of oft-recurring times of darkness. This is a series
of 3 volumes which charts the advancement of civilisation from
Ancient Egypt to the 20th Century through the study of great
individuals or of ordinary people touched for a moment by a vision
of greatness. All 3 can be purchased together here, or separately
as individual volumes.
