"The way Guelzo weaves faith, liberty, reason, and historical complexity into a coherent and accessible story creates a rich and thoughtful exploration of Western civilization that feels both rigorous and deeply human." Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human SocietiesA compelling, resource-rich history of the modern Westfrom the Renaissance to the presentdesigned for students and lifelong learners alike, and grounded in the enduring ideals of liberty, faith, and reason. This is Volume II of a two-part series tracing the story of Western civilization from antiquity to the modern age.The Western Tradition from 1500 to the PresentWith the Renaissance in Europe, the Western world experienced a long series of cataclysmic events that still reverberate in modern society. Written by Allan C. Guelzo, The Golden Thread, Volume II: The Modern and Contemporary West begins in 1500, when the Protestant Reformation brought an end of the Roman Catholic Church's dominance over European states. It then turns to the rise of imperial powers that swiftly circled the globe, and to the explosion of intellectual, economic, and technological advancements sparked by the Enlightenment. These were moments of flourishing in Western civilization, but also moments of uncertainty, as they portended the violent political upheavals that shook continental Europe and the Americas during the American, French and Bolivarian Revolutions as well as the Napoleonic Wars. The Industrial Revolution, the Romantic revolt against the Enlightenment, and a second wave of scientific advancement in the nineteenth century challenged any attempt to restore the classical unity of the West. A radically redrawn world emerged from these developments, one that was ill-prepared for the colossal physical and moral shocks of the First and Second World Wars.In its closing chapters, Guelzo explores how Western civilization has, in our own time, been simultaneously challenged by secular totalitarianism and yet remained remarkably resilient laying the foundations for material prosperity around the globe. Through the paradoxes of the twentieth century, The Golden Thread engages with the most significant questions facing the West today.The Golden Thread is a two-volume history of the Western tradition.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - With the end of the Renaissance in Europe, the Western world experienced a long series of cataclysmic events that still reverberate in modern society. The Golden Thread Volume Two: The Modern and Contemporary West begins with the end of the dominance of the Roman Catholic Church on European states during the Protestant Reformation, before turning to the creation of empires that swiftly circled the globe, and to the explosion of intellectual, economic, and technological advancements of the Enlightenment. These were often moments of flourishing in Western Civilization, but also moments of shadow, as they pointed toward the violent political upheavals that shook continental Europe and the Americas during the American, French and Bolivarean Revolutions and the Napoleonic Wars. The political leaders of the Western nations struggled to minimize the impact of these developments. But the Industrial Revolution, the Romantic revolt against the Enlightenment (and Enlightenment politics), and a second wave of scientific movements in the 19th century challenged any attempt to restore the classical unity of the West. A radically re-drawn world emerged from these developments, and one which was ill-prepared for the colossal physical and moral shocks of the First and Second World Wars. In the closing chapters, we will see how Western civilization has, in our lifetimes, been simultaneously challenged by secular totalitarianisms and yet remarkably successful in laying the foundations for material prosperity around the globe. These contradictions will present to the student the most significant problems facing Western civilization today.…
