Throughout history and in different parts of the world many civilizations with different features have been created. Civilizations have been of various sizes; some very large, others small. Real people have created them, men and women like us, through activities and theoretical and practical processes that we can identify through the study of history. If we look beyond the differences between them, we can learn quite clearly what a civilization is, its foundations and its pillars, its main structures and the elements that shape it. And we can also discover when a civilization declines and tends to disappear, how and when the need to create a new civilization arises, and what are the initiatives and activities deployed by what kind of people and groups that begin its creation. All this knowledge about past civilizations, applied to the present reality, allows us to say that we are living today a historical phase in which our civilization is in organic crisis and has started to decay, while the initiatives and activities tending to create a superior civilization begin to unfold to replace it. The historical knowledge of past civilizations and of the present modern civilization, from its inception, development, consolidation and crisis, can greatly facilitate the theoretical and practical action of those who today intend to lay the foundations and begin the creation of a new and superior civilization that will open human experience to new and broader horizons. In this small volume I propose to synthesize all these ideas and to express them in an accessible language to anyone who may be interested.

In 'What Makes Civilization?', archaeologist David Wengrow provides a vivid account of the 'birth of civilization' in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (today's Iraq). These two regions, where many foundations of modern life were laid, are usually treated in isolation. Now, they are brought together within a unified history.

Humanity was once scattered into small-sized, nomadic groups that barely knew each other. Each lived inside its bubble of myths and beliefs. The notion of one single community, related by a common origin and similar aspirations—the world—began to evolve along with the founding of early civilizations. It was an auspicious development that has changed not only the way we live but also how we think. We are the only species probing the mysteries of nature and life. Curiously, the story of how wandering Homo sapiens, who had lived off nature for hundreds of thousands of years, created civilization is less well-known compared to the awareness about biological evolution. If you have wondered what led to the establishment of advanced societies in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, Central America, and the Andean Highlands, this book is for you. Making of the World: Sapiens’ Journey from Wilderness to Civilization leads the reader through an absorbing narrative that canvasses the broad sweeps of human history. The book brings readers up to date on trusted research findings in archaeology, anthropology, and evolutionary psychology. In so doing, it dispels the fog of ideologically biased interpretations of history. Students planning to pursue higher education in humanities will find in the book a suitable introduction to a wide range of topics, including the origin of cities and governments, poetry, and philosophy.

From a tiny group of Germanic bands to the mightiest governmental system the world had ever known - what caused the momentous rise of the European states? Drawing on Toynbee's theory of civilizations, Victor Lee Burke develops an account of the origins and transformation of governments in Europe between the eighth and seventeenth centuries. Borrowing also from Charles Tilly's and Anthony Giddens's works, he shows the importance of wars in the rise of the European state system. Burke provides a panoramic sociological history of the rise of European states. He relates the origins and development of European governments to the social conflict among the European, Viking, Islamic, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Mongol civilizations. He assesses the impact of the Crusades on the rise of the monarchy and the origins of democratic regimes. In contrast to European-centred interpretations of history, the author argues that the conflict among other civilizations forged the rise and growth of Western European governments. The book will appeal to advanced undergraduate students and academics across all social sciences and particularly in political and economic sociology, social and political theory, European studies and Western civilization.

The idea of civilization recurs frequently in reflections on international politics. However, International Relations academic writings on civilization have failed to acknowledge the major 20th-century analysis that examined the processes through which Europeans came to regard themselves as uniquely civilized – Norbert Elias’s On the Process of Civilization. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the significance of Elias’s reflections on civilization for International Relations. It explains the working principles of an Eliasian, or process-sociological, approach to civilization and the global order and demonstrates how the interdependencies between state-formation, colonialism and an emergent international society shaped the European 'civilizing process'.

There are few more important philosophers at work today than John Searle, a creative and contentious thinker who has shaped the way we think about mind and language. Now he offers a profound understanding of how we create a social reality--a reality of money, property, governments, marriages, stock markets and cocktail parties. The paradox he addresses in Making the Social World is that these facts only exist because we think they exist and yet they have an objective existence. Continuing a line of investigation begun in his earlier book The Construction of Social Reality, Searle identifies the precise role of language in the creation of all "institutional facts." His aim is to show how mind, language and civilization are natural products of the basic facts of the physical world described by physics, chemistry and biology. Searle explains how a single linguistic operation, repeated over and over, is used to create and maintain the elaborate structures of human social institutions. These institutions serve to create and distribute power relations that are pervasive and often invisible. These power relations motivate human actions in a way that provides the glue that holds human civilization together. Searle then applies the account to show how it relates to human rationality, the freedom of the will, the nature of political power and the existence of universal human rights. In the course of his explication, he asks whether robots can have institutions, why the threat of force so often lies behind institutions, and he denies that there can be such a thing as a "state of nature" for language-using human beings.
