Historical Teleologies in the Modern World tracks the fragmentation
and proliferation of teleological understandings of history - the
notion that history had to be explained as a goal-directed process
- in Europe and beyond throughout the 19th and into the 20th
century. Historical teleologies have profoundly informed a variety
of other disciplines, including modern philosophy, natural history,
literature, humanitarian and religious philanthropism, the
political thought and practice of revolution, emancipation,
imperialism, colonialism and anti-colonialism, the
conceptualization of universal humankind, and the understanding of
modernity in general. By exploring the extension and plurality of
historical teleology, the essays in this volume revise the history
of historicity in the modern period. Historical Teleologies in the
Modern World casts doubt on the idea that a single, if powerful,
conception of time could function as the unifying principle of all
modern historicity, instead pursuing an investigation of the
plurality of modern historicities and its underlying structures. By
bringing together Western and non-Western histories, this book
provides the first extended treatment of the idea of historical
teleology. It will be of great value to students and scholars of
modern global and intellectual history.
