Inspired by the work of John David Ebert, this new section (August 2021) will be dedicated to large scale and integrative human history, including the history of civilization(s).
See also our section on P2P Cycles.
This project will follow three different 'reading' and listening/watching threads.
Introduction
This is a great 3-hour interview with John David Ebert introducing many of the themes around comparative civilizational inquiry:
* John David Ebert on Cultural Immune Systems
Contents
1. The Spengler thread of civilizational analysis, as suggested by John David Ebert. This thread looks at civilizations and how they evolve, or not.
- It starts with the Decline of the West, by Oswald Spengler
- Traces the reactions and updates to his work by Arnold Toynbee for the UK, and Carroll Quigley for the U.S.
- Follows the work on comparative mythology and the evolution of mythology by Joseph Campbell
- The work of Jean Gebser on the five mutations of consciousness, as explained in the Ever-Present Origin
- The work of William Irwin Thompson
2. The thread inspired by the book edited by Sohail Inayatullah and John Galtung, on Macrohistory and Macrohistorians, which introduce authors that look at world history from an integrated perspective
3. The thread inspired by the World Systems Theory as pioneered by Immanuel Wallerstein and others.
