Recommended: Marx's theory of history

In the past decades there has been a revolution in ways of understanding the impact of history on society and its ideology. There is no doubt that liberalism has a major impact on the world today but history evaluates the coming of liberalism as the end to history. The end to history is viewed as such where post war history is the end point to all ideological development of mankind, and the integration of western liberal democracy is a final form of government. Firstly, the notion of end of history has been discussed many time, the individuals that have discussed about this statement are Karl Marx, Friedrich Hegel and Alexander Kojeve. Secondly, Hegel claims that history exist first of all in the realm of human consciousness, based on the level of ideas the individual exhibit. (Real is rational and what is rational is real.). Thirdly, economic behaviour can be better understood as realm of consciousness and culture. Where the consciousness can remake the material world in its own image, the challenge on liberalism can be seen through fascist and communist ideologies that liberalism has faced in the decades. Lastly, the last challenge to liberalism can be viewed on behalf of one’s religion and nationalism. Thus, The End of History article written by Francis Fukuyama is correct where the end of history is end of development of ideas by mankind. And he illustrates the cause of the end of history was the end of post war, which stopped individuals to think of new ideological change for the society.
In Francis Fukuyama article he illustrates that the idea of end of history was not an original one. He claimed that Karl Marx was the first propagator of stating the end of history was caused by the interplay of material forces which will come to end only if communist ideology of utopia was developed and all contradiction were eliminated. In Hegel point of view he believed

  • The Social and Economic Features of Jabal Nablus and Karl Marx's Methodology

    1143 Words  | 3 Pages

    The German Ideology starts off by illustrating the critique of the German idealists, while presenting Marx and Engels' alternative: materialistic view of history. According to Marx, the main reason for political and economical retrogression of Germany is its obsession with Hegel's view on history as a chain of phases or manifestations of World Spirit or Absolute Mind. It's possible to trace Marx's critique in three different perspectives. Initially, he directed his critique towards the very nature of Hegelian system, by stating its "contemplative" aspect. Secondly, he presented detailed analysis of discrepancies, regarding logical categories and religious conceptions, which rose between the Young and Old Hegelians. According to old Hegelians, the history was simply chronology of ideas, and the reason Germany was flourishing ,only because it was constructed on the best ideas. In the meantime, Young Hegelians adopted dialectics...

  • Fundamental Faults in Hegelian Historicism

    907 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Philosophy is the history of philosophy”-Georg Hegel. Historicism is one of the important pillars of Hegelian philosophy, which attempts to provide insight on human social activities and thought process. According to Hegel, our thoughts and activities are directly influenced, defined and can understood by their history. Despite its perceived appeal in explaining this ultimate declaration, it has been the source of philosophical debate over the years and have been criticized by some philosophers as the hindrance to progress, that has justified relatively contemporary societal disputes. Fundamental faults are pointed out in Hegelian historicism. Philosophical schools such as structuralism and determinism as well as human psychology contradict historicism.

  • Fundamentalism and Nationalism Were Great Threats According to Fukyama's In the End of History

    1225 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the 21st century, there have been plenty of examples of potential competition to liberalism as seen by the emergence of social democracy and the push for welfare states as well as varying degrees of fundamentalism and nationalism all throughout the world. Fukuyama believed that all societies where converging towards democracy and capitalism and that the world was beginning to embrace the ideas and principles of western liberalism, capitalism and materialism. He argued that “liberal democracy remains the only coherent political aspiration that spans different regions and cultures across the globe.” (Mapping the political landscape p.323). Although Fukuyama believes that with the fall of communism and fascism, liberal democracy had finally assumed it rightful place as that right ideology in the world, he seems to have overlooked the overall flexibility of liberal ideologies as well as capitalism and materialism.

  • Analysis Of Oswald Spengler

    2280 Words  | 5 Pages

    Oswald Spengler (29 May 1880 – 8 May 1936) is a pessimistic German historian and philosopher, who equals or surpass Nietzsche in his own time. He propounded a new perspective for evolving cultures as a whole to explain the history of the world, which then challenged the contemporary idea of linear history. Generally, the philosophy of linear history is really a powerful assumption for people and this is very much influenced by Christianity in a way and still survived in post-Christian West. There is this common perception that we are the next step in history and this history leads to greater freedom by means of liberation, understanding, and technology. Although it is true that there are bad events throughout the journey, however that just like speed bumps to the Utopia. For example, the standpoint of technology apparently seems true to this perception, which is from medicine to automobile and communication; they all are slowly paved toward perfection. In Spengler’s cosmology of history, human cultures and civilizations very much like mythology of plant life, where they grow and dies. Great culture also can come into an end, decaying.

    Further, Daughan covers the British blockade on American ports and the Napoleonic Wars. First, the British blockade on 1813 made difficult for American flagships to leave ports because the British Navy blocked almost all American ports with the exception of New England which provided goods to the British Navy during the war. Secondly, Daughan adds that the Napoleonic wars had a major impact on the American local war; exclusively, Napoleon’s defeat in Russia gave more confidence to Britain for supporting the War of 1812 longer. In contrast, A.J. Langguth did not include in his book, Union 1812: The Americans Who Fought the Second War of Independence, any international aspect that might influence the War of 1812.

  • Marx and Engel’s View on History

    897 Words  | 2 Pages

    Marx and Engels, and Kant share a fundamental commonality in the conception of human history in that they both acknowledge history as a rational process whose movement follows a progressive future outline. Their concept of process, a central theme to their conception of human history, gives meaning to individual human actions which appears as simple, haphazard event, with purposive shape and rational meaning. In Kant, progress assumes the form of realizing the human potential of reason; in Marx, it is the abolishment of class differences in the revolutionary transition to communism. To this extent, one can characterize their theory as utopian conception of historical progress, having a teleological purpose at the end of human history.

  • The Landscape of History

The ways we think about history has allowed for the divergence of various perspectives in the world we live in today. In sum, the question discussed in this paper pertains to the extent of which history can be objective. This question has left room for several interpretations in the field of historiography and challenged our experienced in the era of modernity. This paper’s argument went for the subjective side of the argument with evidence for my argumentation from John Gaddis, Friedrich Nietzsche, Postmodernity and Modernity, Living in Modernity, and Heidegger’s Hermeneutics.

  • Defining History

    In the document, "Indians: Textualism, Morality, and The Problem of History," Jane Tompkins examines the conflicts between the English settlers and the American Indians. After examining several primary sources, Tompkins found that different history books have different perspectives. It wasn’t that the history books took different angles that was troubling, but the viewpoints contradicted one another. People who experience the same event told it through their reality. This becomes a problem when a person who didn’t experience the effect wants to know what happened. Tompkins said, "The problem id that if all accounts of events are determined through and through by the observer’s frame of reference, that one will never know, in any given case what really happened (202)."

  • Analysis of Friedrich Nietzsche´s Book 5 of The Gay Science

    1632 Words  | 4 Pages

    Friedrich Nietzsche’s own skepticism symbolized the secular changes in contemporary Western civilization, in which he details mankind’s break away from faith into a new rule of chaos. In Book 5 of The Gay Science, Nietzsche establishes that “God is dead”, meaning that modern Europe has abandoned religion in favor of rationality and science (Nietzsche 279). From this death, the birth of a ‘new’ infinite blossoms in which the world is open to an unlimited amount of interpretations that do not rely on the solid foundations of faith in religion or science. However, in contrast to the other philosophers of his age such as Immanuel Kant and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Nietzsche deviates from the omniscient determinism of history towards a more disorganized progression of history. In short, Nietzsche objects to Hegel’s and Kant’s notion of the teleological aspect of the progressive history of humanity because Nietzsche views that human progress cannot be distinctly determined by a single plan but rather random events that support individual freedom.

  • Hegel: Reason in History

    564 Words  | 2 Pages

    History is the increasing self-consciousness of the Spirit i.e. Reason; that is, a progressive increase of Reason within the world. This relationship between history and Reason is expressed by Hegel's agreement with Leibniz that this is the best of all possible worlds. In other words, everything is as it should be. In fact, Hegel makes strong assertions along just these lines, "that [Reason] reveals itself in the world, and that nothing else is revealed in the world but that Idea itself, its glory and majesty (12-13)." It is from this idea that Hegel derives the point that "Re...

  • Understanding International Relations

    To understand the international relations of contemporary society and how and why historically states has acted in such a way in regarding international relations, the scholars developed numerous theories. Among these numerous theories, the two theories that are considered as mainstream are liberalism and realism because the most actors in stage of international relations are favouring either theories as a framework and these theories explains why the most actors are taking such actions regarding foreign politics. The realism was theorized in earlier writings by numerous historical figures, however it didn't become main approach to understand international relations until it replaced idealist approach following the Great Debate and the outbreak of Second World War. Not all realists agrees on the issues and ways to interpret international relations and realism is divided into several types. As realism became the dominant theory, idealistic approach to understand international relations quickly sparked out with failure of the League of Nation, however idealism helped draw another theory to understand international relations. The liberalism is the historical alternative to the realism and like realism, liberalism has numerous branches of thoughts such as neo-liberalism and institutional liberalism. This essay will compare and contrast the two major international relations theories known as realism and liberalism and its branches of thoughts and argue in favour for one of the two theories.

The remark points out that human beings are always try to make his own history but still develop according to a ‘hidden plan’.

  • The Perspective And The Purpose Of History

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    History is a story told over time. It is a way of recreating the past so it can be studied in the present and re-interpreted for future generations. Since humans are the sole beneficiaries of history, it is important for us to know what the purpose of history is and how historians include their own perspective concerning historical events. The purpose and perspective of history is vital in order for individuals to realise how it would be almost impossible for us to live out our lives effectively if we had no knowledge of the past. Also, in order to gain a sound knowledge of the past, we have to understand the political, social and cultural aspects of the times we are studying.
