The Youth and Maturity of Humanity : Interpreting Modern, American, And Impending Global History as One Story

By: Material type: TextTextDescription: iv, 354 pISBN:
  • 978-1440455872
Subject(s):
Contents:
This book is a representative collection of interpretations of Modern and American History about the Youth of Mankind and the Maturity of Humanity. The governing assumption of these themes is that the human experience of individuals is a hologram of the social and collective historical experience of Humanity as a whole, and vice versa. To know our individual selves is to know the secret of the story of Humanity; to know the story of Humanity is to finally understand our selves. The facts of Modern and American History are largely known and documented in innumerable texts. This book aims, in contrast, to provide insight into the meaning, purpose, and purport of the whole human enterprise of Modern History, or, what is more or less the same thing, the meaning, purpose, and purport of the American Experience. After all, the American Nation was and is the first, quintessential prototype of that Venture, Endeavor, and Youthful Experiment that was and is the Modern Age.
