Francis Fukuyama and the End of History by Howard Williams (English) Hardcover B

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Francis Fukuyama and the End of History by Howard Williams, David Sullivan, E. Gwynn Matthews, E. Matthews A new edition of a standard work which places Fukuyamas concept of the End of History in the context of a major intellectual tradition in Western philosophy, and which looks at how his more recent work engages with such vital issues such as the spread of democracy and threat of global terror. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fukuyamas concept of the End of History has been one of the most widely debated theories of international politics since the end of the Cold War. This book discusses Fukuyamas claim that liberal democracy alone is able to satisfy the human aspiration for freedom and dignity, and explores the way in which his thinking is part of a philosophical tradition which includes Kant, Hegel and Marx. Two new chapters in this second edition discuss the ways in which Fukuyamas thinking has developed they include his celebrated and controversial criticism of neoconservatism and his complex intellectual relationship to Samuel Huntington, whose Clash of Civilization thesis he rejects but whose notion of political decay is central to his more recent work. The authors here argue that Fukuyamas continuing fundamental contributions to debates concerning the spread of democracy and threat of global terror mark him out as one of the most important thinkers of the twenty-first century.

Philosophies of History Notes Bibliography Review "This engaging second edition-which includes new material--contextualizes Fukuyama within the broader trends of the philosophy of history, including such seminal giants in the field as Kant, Hegel, and Marx. The authors argue clearly and insightfully in favour of Fukuyamas relevance--perhaps under-appreciated in the academy--as well as for the timeliness of his ideas. The new material features Fukuyamas contributions over the past decade, moving from the end of history and debates over the clash of civilizations towards present-day concerns with the complex ingredients of nation-building and the unsure fate of liberal-democratic values."--Brian Orend, University of Waterloo, Ontario.This engaging second edition which includes new material contextualizes Fukuyama within the broader trends of the philosophy of history, including such seminal giants in the field as Kant, Hegel, and Marx.
