This comparative analysis argues that there were four or, more
likely, five major turning points of world history, whose lasting
effects are being felt to this day. These turning points show
striking resemblances to each other: An apparently coherent
community of shared convictions and a shared way of life splits
unexpectedly in two, with one section swerving off on the road to a
radically new set of values. This has probably been true of the
rise of monotheism in opposition to the existing polytheistic norms
of Oriental cultures. It has been true of the primitive Christian
Church breaking away from Judaism. It was true of the Protestants
breaking away from Rome. It also has been true for two secular
revolutions: the independence of the United States of America
inventing the republican order of representative democracy, and the
Russian Revolution, when the revolutionaries decided to give up on
peaceful socialism and resort to violence.
