This book explores the relationship between antiquity and modernity, examining a broad range of thought in the process. The first part considers the development of ideas about the difference between ancient and modern, whether conceptualized in economic, political, cultural, social or psychological terms, and it explores the way that modernity comes to be defined by this difference. The second part examines the uses of the past and of narratives of historical development in the modern era, both in the foundation myths of modernity and in the critiques offered by those who sought to promote alternative forms of society.
The nature, faults and future of modern civilization and how these connect to the past are tackled in this broad-reaching volume.
