"Historical Teleologies in the Modern World tracks the fragmentation and proliferation of teleological understandings of history--the notion that history had to be explained as a goal-directed process--in Europe and beyond throughout the 19th and into the 20th century. Historical teleologies have profoundly informed a variety of other disciplines, including modern philosophy, natural history, literature, humanitarian and religious philanthropism, the political thought and practice of revolution, emancipation, imperialism, colonialism and anti-colonialism, the conceptualization of universal humankind, and the understanding of modernity in general. By exploring the extension and plurality of historical teleology, the essays in this volume revise the history of historicity in the modern period. Historical Teleologies in the Modern World casts doubt on the idea that a single, if powerful, conception of time could function as the unifying principle of all modern historicity, instead pursuing an investigation of the plurality of modern historicities and its underlying structures. By bringing together Western and non-Western histories, this book provides the first extended treatment of the idea of historical teleology. It will be of great value to students and scholars of modern global and intellectual history"--From publisher's website.

"De quel viatique conceptuel a-t-on besoin pour affronter le monde qui vient ? Quelles idées, quels principes majeurs doit-on convoquer pour comprendre la signification des prodigieuses mutations dans lesquelles le monde est déjà embarqué ? A la demande de l'Unesco, Edgar Morin exprime l'essentiel de sa pensée et de son oeuvre. Il aide, grâce à cet essai, à regarder, calmement, l'avenir en face." [Quatrième de couverture]
