  arnold toynbee a study of history: Arnold J. Toynbee: A Life William H. McNeill, 1989-04-20 One of the most remarkable thinkers of this century, Arnold Toynbee won world-wide recognition as the author of the monumental ten-volume A Study of History. Its publication and phenomenal success brought him fame and the highest praise, as the reading public proclaimed him the most renowned scholar in the world. This thought-provoking, engaging study of Toynbee, written by one of today's most eminent historians, weaves together Toynee's intellectual accomplishments and the personal difficulties of his private life. Providing both an intimate portrait of a leading thinker and a judicious evaluation of his work and his legacy for the the study of history, William H. McNeill offers both a biography and a commentary on how to write and understand history. Along with an illuminating discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of A Study of History and the countless other works written by Toynbee, McNeill offers a compelling examination of the responses of other historians (including the devastating attack launched by Hugh Trevor-Roper) and Toynbee's attempts to modify his Study to answer these criticisms. McNeill also explores his tormented personal life, including his troubled marriage to Rosalind Murray and the suicide of his son, Anthony. In this sympathetic depiction of a life, both triumphant and tragic, McNeill brings his skills to bear on one of the greatest figures in his field, illuminating a career of rare accomplishment.

  arnold toynbee a study of history: 1177 B.C. Eric H. Cline, 2014-03-23 A bold reassessment of what caused the Late Bronze Age collapse In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the Sea Peoples invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen? In this major new account of the causes of this First Dark Ages, Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries. A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age—and that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece.

  arnold toynbee a study of history: Choose Life Arnold Toynbee, Daisaku Ikeda, 2023-08-06 For Time magazine Toynbee was ’an international sage’ and certainly in the same bracket as ‘Einstein, Schweitzer or Bertrand Russell’. Daisaku Ikeda is a figure of global stature, the spiritual leader of a worldwide lay Buddhist organization devoted to the promotion of education, culture and peace. Between 1972 and 1974 Toynbee and Ikeda discussed many of the vital issues which confronted their societies in the early 1970s, all of which remain current and significant. Indeed, topics such as the problems of pollution, dwindling natural resources, conflict and war, the role of religion, and population growth, are even more pressing than they were thirty years ago. In this influential and inspiring volume, which records their wide-ranging conversations, the challenge issued by both men is framed as follows: will humankind choose to salvage its destiny by a revolution in thinking and morals? Or will disaster ensue if it pursues its present course towards self-destruction and the despoliation of the environment? While recognizing that our survival is threatened by the imbalance between human immaturity and technological achievement, the optimistic message of this classic dialogue is that man-made evils have a man-made cure.

  arnold toynbee a study of history: Here to Stay John Hersey, 2019-09-04 In Here to StayJohn Hersey tells of episodes in the past twenty years in which Man has courageously risen above desperate situations and shown his determination to survive despite the threats of the nuclear age. Mr. Hersey first tells the story of an old lady marooned on a rooftop amidst floods caused by a hurricane. He ends with his famous Hiroshima, the story of the survivors of the first atomic bombing, written from personal investigation, with horrifying detail and compassionate indignation. Between these two pieces we read of John Kennedy’s heroism in rescuing the crew of his PT boat, sunk by the Japanese, seventeen years before he became President; a Jew’s suffering in Auschwitz; a crippled G.I.’s difficulties in adjusting himself to civilian life; the rehabilitation of a soldier paralyzed with fright; the adventures of two Poles who survived persecution; and a most moving account of an escape from Hungary in 1956. All John Hersey’s books have had a serious purpose. A Bell for Adanodrew attention to Italy’s plight; The Wall studied the Polish Jews’ struggle against tyranny; The War Lover exposed the war mentality;The Child Buyershowed up the exploitation of talent. Here to Stayis a stirring reminder of our inherent ability to meet the challenge of extinction which now faces the world.

  arnold toynbee a study of history: World Historians and Their Goals Paul Costello, 1994 Costello analyzes paradigms of world history, focusing on seven twentieth-century historians, from H. G. Wells to William H. McNeill. He interprets central models of the history of civilizations as responses to modernism and as efforts to rescue meaningful patterns of history as a whole. Costello locates his study in the post-Nietzschean context, in which the death of God and modernism's threat to progressive ideology stimulated a perception of the crisis of Western civilization. He analyzes H. G. Wells's sense of progress threatened, in which the catastrophic potentials of modernity demand a world state; the cyclical decline of civilizations theories of Oswald Spengler, Arnold J. Toynbee, Pitirim Sorokin, Christopher Dawson, and Lewis Mumford; and the ecological metahistory of William H. McNeill. These historians, Costello finds, develop a pattern of the past that incorporates a history of the future--a pattern that perpetuates those they perceive in their study of the rise and fall of civilizations. Costello describes a reciprocal process between the historians' analyses of the past and their personal visions of the future. Such visions, he suggests, present the historian with moral imperatives that demand action in line with the hidden ends of history. Each chapter includes a biographical sketch, a study of the intellectual influences on its subject's thought, an evaluation of his goals, and a brief review of relevant criticism. The various theories are examined in light of each historian's moral and philosophic intentions and polemical goals in writing.

  arnold toynbee a study of history: On the Plurality of Civilizations Feliks Koneczny, 2021-02-02 348 pages. In the XXth c. there were several authors struggling with the notion of civilization - Oswald Spengler (Der Untergang des Abendlandes), Arnold Toynbee (A Study of History), Anton Hilckman (Orient et Occident. Une Philosophie de l'histoire), Samuel Huntington (A Clash of Civilizations). Among them Feliks Koneczny was the most original. He expanded his general views on how to classify civilizations in the volume On the Plurality of Civilizations. He did not believe that civilizations are like organisms which have a birth, a youth, and adult life, a decline and death. He pointed out that some civilizations exist for millennia and show no decline while others are short lived. Koneczny claims that in the history of the world there were around 22 civilizations of which only nine exist today (Chinese, Brahmin, Jewish, Tibetan, Numidian, Turanian, Byzantine, Latin, Arab). He goes on to describe in detail these existing civilizations and in particular the four which struggle for existence in Poland. Koneczny claims that civilizations are constantly at war and no synthesis among them is possible because they have irreconcilable attitudes towards ethics. One has to consciously defend one's own civilization.
