The Code of Hammurabi, Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses, the
radical notions that launched the French Revolution and the beliefs
that propelled the American Civil Rights Movement are a few of the
thousands of concepts described in this chronicle of intellectual
history. Presenting the ideas of philosophers, prophets, scholars,
critics, educators, revolutionaries and reformers, the chronology
concentrates on the famous - as well as infamous - concepts that
have changed the world. Here, too, are the historical turning
points that resulted from the application of those ideas - the
natural flow of the American Revolution from the concept of
democratic liberalism, for example, or the Russian Revolution from
Marxism.
