Historians, philosophers and social scientists have offered a wide
variety of explanations as to how human history advances. Most of
these explanations have been based on the linear development model
of humans moving from a less advanced to a more advance state of
existence - the Whig version of history - one of continuing
progression. This version, however, has been challenged by
conservatives who see no evident pattern to human history - often
citing prolonged periods of continuity and occasional periods of
reverse. This book offers a bridge between the two approaches by
following the cyclical tradition of explaining human history.
Modern societies have clearly seen political, economic and social
advances, but these have followed a cyclical pattern and have
experienced repeating periods of advance, continuity and occasional
reverse. This book traces and explains the key cyclical
developments of the modern world in order to offer a full and
comprehensive understanding of the modern social era.
