From Publishers Weekly

Dividing world history into three phases (hunting/gathering, agriculture and industry), this study asserts that most agrarian civilizations are too self-limiting for the leap into capitalism and a market economy. "Gellner's ambitious theory smacks of Eurocentric hubris, and . . . his prose is turgid and portentous," chided PW.

大岛主

尝试寻找历史发展的线索的时候，人们总是把目光放在理性上面。在这种视角下，人类的历史，就是展现理性的过程。人们的思想，机构，社会组织变得越来越理性。

大岛主

We have had three mode of society: hunter/gathering, agrarian and industrial. They are quite different, like different species. In agrarian society, beside production, we have a ruling class and clergy. Inovation does occur but not constant. What values is stability, they tend to look back to the past to find wisdom and strength. The industrial society, on the other hand, is based on the develo...

THE NEED FOR PHILOSOPHIC HISTORY We tend to treat institutions and presumptions as granted, actually they are not. To understand them, we need look at them against our visions of history, to see why our ancestors have made their choices. We need to know what principles/laws that generate their options. Like it or not, we all have some kind of vision of the patten of history, many of them are u...

concepts(culture) do constitute constraints, but not all social constraints are conceptual(cultural). social prediction is unlikely feasible, but this does not exclude the possibility to comprehension.

We look at the historical roots in order to understand our options, not so as to prejudge our choices. The aim of the book is to spell out a vision of human history which has in any case been assuming shape of late, but which has not yet been properly codified.

the method employed basically is deductive. conclusions are extracted from clearly stated assumptions; various possible conclusions are then checked against available facts. the difference from other theories or models is that the sequence or order of new and important elements are added to the model is matter of recorded or surmised facts.
