Religion als rationale Antwort auf die moderne Zivilisation? Die traditionsreiche literarische Gattung der Utopie tritt heute nahezu exklusiv als Schreckensutopie auf. Das ist ein gutes Zeichen. Statt Gewissheiten kommenden politischen Heils, das einst in den untergegangenen totalitären Systemen schrankenlos Aufopferungsbereitschaften einfordern liess, bewegen uns heute weltweit überwiegend Besorgnisse um triviale, nämlich elementare Voraussetzungen guten Lebens – Wohlfahrt und soziale Sicherheit, verlässliches Recht und Frieden. Die Zugkraft dieser gemeinen Zwecke dynamisiert die zivilisatorische Evolution, die uns zugleich mit Erfahrungen ihrer Risiken und Folgelasten bedrückt. Der Grenznutzen des Fortschritts nimmt ab, Zukunftserwartungen werden darüber realistischer. Irreversibel sind mit moderner Zivilisationsdynamik zugleich Säkularisierungsprozesse verbunden – unaufhaltsam sogar in den Konflikten zwischen Emanzipation und fundamentalistischer Reaktion in islamisch geprägten Ländern und residual auch noch in der christlichen Welt. In diesem Buch wird die Prognose riskiert, dass im Gegensatz zu prominenten Annahmen europäischer Aufklärung die moderne Zivilisation die Religion keineswegs zum Verschwinden bringt. Im Gegenteil gewinnen die modernisierungsindifferenten Herausforderungen menschlichen Lebens an Prägnanz und Aufdringlichkeit, auf die sich rational einzig religiös antworten lässt. Aus dem Inhalt I. Selbstbestimmung. Über die Pluralisierung politischer Lebenswelten II. Ungleichheitsfolgen egalitärer Rechte III. Werte und Interessen IV. Zählende und erzählende Wissenschaften. Prognosen und Vergangenheitsvergegenwärtigungen V. Religionskulturelle Voraussetzungen und Folgen der Säkularisierung VI. Modernisierungstheoretiker im Überblick VII. Philosophie – kulturell omnipräsent und anschaulich auf den Begriff gebracht

Die Krise der modernen Welt ist nichts Neues. Sie begleitet sie von Anbeginn der Moderne und ist überall dort der Fall, wo Modernisierung stattfindet. Die Veränderungen und Umwälzungen, die damit einhergehen, sind stets ambivalent. Sie zerstören Altes, um Raum für Neues zu schaffen. Aber die Veränderungen lassen sich schlecht vorhersehen oder gar planen. Die Märkte sagen eher die Wahrheit als die Planer oder die Propheten. Das muss man aber ertragen können oder, besser noch, man muss mitmachen und sich der Evaluation der Märkte aussetzen. Wer dies nicht mag oder nicht wagt, beschwört gerne überholte Utopien wie Sozialismus oder Kommunismus, die längst gescheitert sind und dabei ihre brutale Inhumanität unter Beweis gestellt haben. Die Leistungen der Zivilisation, der Moderne und des Kapitalismus sind nicht hintergehbar. Wirkliche Verbesserungen kann es nur von dem erreichten Stand der Zivilisierung, der Modernisierung und der Kapitalisierung aus geben.

The Ephemeral Civilization is an astonishing intellectual feat in which Graeme Snooks develops an original and ground-breaking analysis of changing sociopolitical forms over the past 3,000 years. Snooks challenges the prevailing theories of social evolutionism with an innovative approach which also looks ahead to the twenty-first century.

The Ephemeral Society is divided into three parts - theory, history and future.

This book applies an economic approach to examine the driving forces behind the dynamic behaviors of developing nations. Taking into account initial conditions and environmental and external factors often oversimplified by historians and anthropologists, Guo finds that the rise and fall of civilizations and nations followed an anti-Darwinian process: physical weakness, rather than strength, induced humans to adapt. Cultures facing unfavorable physical and environmental conditions developed complex societies to overcome these challenges, while favorable conditions did not incentivize major economic and cultural change. Over centuries of economic growth and development, nations and civilizations’ adaptive behaviors have followed a cyclical path at both the country level and in an international context. This interdisciplinary book incorporates elements of history, anthropology, and development into an astute economic analysis that changes the way we think about the origins and evolutions of civilizations.

′At last, a volume on civilization that truly reflects the complexity of multiple civilizations. The wealth of contributions Arjomand and Tiryakian have assembled demonstrates the value of an old concept for understanding the awful dilemmas confronting human kind in the global age. Its thoroughgoing renewal here establishes this book as the essential benchmark for future scholars of civilization′ - Martin Albrow, Founding Editor of International Sociology and author of The Global Age - winner of the European Amalfi Prize, 1997 ′In our tension filled world, many are heralding, and others fearing, a"clash of civilizations." The contributors to this volume provides a healthy and persuasive argument about why this clash need not, and certainly should not, take place. They do so, moreover, not by rejecting the concept of civilization, but by developing a less primordial, homogenous, and essentialist concept of it. An important collection that provides illumination in this sometimes frighteningly dark time′ - Jeffrey Alexander, Professor and Chair of Sociology at Yale University ′The concept of civilization may well replace the notions of globalization and identity as the core component in the vocabulary of 21st century sociology. The authors contribute a great deal to the clarification of fashionable controversies around the "clash of civilizations" and "multiculturalism". They go a long way toward purging the concept of civilization of its ideological overtones, and they suceed admirably in turning it into powerful analytic tool of an emerging fleld of macrosociology, known already as civilizational analysis′ - Piotr Sztompka, President, International Sociological Association Although the concept of ′civilization′ has deep roots in the social sciences, there is an urgent need to re-think it for contemporary times. This book points to an exhaustion in using ′the nation state′ and ′world system′ as the basic macro-units of social analysis because they do not get to grips with the ′soft power′ variable of cultural factors involved in global aspects of development. Also, globalization requires us to reconsider the link between civilization and a fixed or given territory. This book focuses upon the dynamic aspect of civilizations. Among the topics covered are: · Civilizational analysis and social theory · Global civilization and local cultures · Civilizational forms · Rationalization and Civilization · Civilizations as zones of prestige · Historical and comparative dimensions of civilization · The clash of civilizations.

The degradation of the modern American culture, including its 2008 financial and economic crisis, and the modern rejuvenation of Asian cultures are best understood within the context of 4,000 years of human history. Such are the consequences of the dynamics of cultural change, responding to societal variables of wealth, energy, and human values. This work provides a unique and formidable science-based framework for civilization development that complements and enhances the work of preeminent historians and sociologists. Accordingly, the foundation for societal progress is placed on restrictive scientific definitions, principles, and concepts of energy and wealth consumption, rather than solely on behavioral perspectives derived from empirical data and historical events. Society's dynamic forces are linked to the cultural deterioration and collapse of Ancient Greece and Rome, Imperial Spain, and Great Britain. Specific chapters are devoted to stagnation of Western civilization, Asian and Islamic resurgence, deterioration of the American culture, and ecological degradation of North America's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay; collateral damage of socio-economic profitability. The characteristics of America's current cultural deterioration parallel those of previous great civilizations. These include abuse of wealth and energy resources; excessive individual and national debt; lack of cultural civility, discipline, integrity, and ethics; unaffordable militarism, escalating income and wealth disparities; unresolved crises in health care and public education; and stultifying cultural complexity and bureaucracy. Themes include the underlying principles responsible for the eventual deterioration of all known civilizations; the basis for the recurring, sequential periodicity of civilization success and failure; and the roles and significance of militarism and religion in civilization growth, decay, and rebirth; Addressing these themes necessitates the integration of the academic disciplines of history, sociology, economics, and science, reflecting human nature and socioeconomic and political realities that fundamentally and continuously alter human values, priorities, and behavior, thus creating human history.

At a time when theories of evolution are undergoing renewed controversy, the study of the Eonic Effect can break the deadlock, by looking at world history in the light of evolution. The assumption that evolution occurs at random is the crux of the dispute, and one confused with issues of religion and secularism. We can detect a non-random pattern in the record of civilization itself, to see evolution in action on a stupendous scale. We live in the first generations with enough data to detect this phenomenon. In the confusion of evolutionary theories, the unexpected discovery of deep level structure can allow us to deconstruct fl at history, and assess claims of directionality in evolution. In the process the theory of natural selection applied to human evolution is seen to fail a photo finish test. The book provides a new model for the study of the overlap of history and evolution, and a critique of current views of the descent of man.

Every age and every culture produce their own particular set of ‘False Gods’ and their associated narratives. Each of these ‘False Gods’ is supported by a whole range of sub-mythologies and ideological delusions that seek to justify, rationalise and normalise the worship of the particular ‘False God’. Setting out to identify Seven of the ‘False Gods’ of modernity, Civilization 21 opens a Pandora’s Box of alternative narratives that challenge the evolving norms of twenty-first century mythologies and delusions. From science to individualism, and progressiveness to human exceptionalism, these modernised mythologies and their associated delusions are fundamental to the structures of our perceived realities. All historical civilizations seem to follow a similar pattern; structured to have a beginning, middle and end. While this may not be an iron law of history, there is no guarantee that our First Global Techno-Scientific Civilization will not follow a similar pattern. In this analysis the end could be near, or we could be on the precipice of unprecedented cultural and ethical progress. Only time will tell.
