The Science of Universal History: Its Method and Its Relation to the Physical Sciences (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Science of Universal History: Its Method and Its Relation to the Physical Sciences
In a word, each individual man, as he comes into the world, is destined to lead his highest life by virtue of his organic connection with the life of the whole human race, and it is the successive ex pansions and overlapsof this race - life, as witnessed in the progress of man from savagery to barbarism, from barbarism to the rudiments of civilization, and from the rudiments of civilization to the highest cul minations which civilization has reached to-day, that the Science of Universal History aims to unfold in an orderly and a logical con tinuity. In this way the calculus of universal history, working with the fixed points which mark the successive stages of the human race as it has moved along the ascending gradients of the world's culture, believes itself to be working with the factors of a positive knowledge in tentatively constructing from time to time the line and the law of the social evolution.

The Science of Universal History (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first conceived in the 19th century, meticulously examines the science of universal history and its relationship to the natural sciences. The author argues that, since the days of Heraclitus, the universe has been seen as in a constant state of change, a flux of quantitative and qualitative changes that occur through the process of time. However, the author further posits that the social world similarly moves through historical time, with human actions and ideas progressing through universal fluxes in the highest of all realms. The author also argues that all historical periods are connected, with each period's end tying into the beginning of the next, and that today's modern world is the result of every previous period's advancements and missteps. Thus, history becomes the vehicle of human achievements, both positive and negative, as people learn and grow from the experiences of those who came before them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330910481_0
