The End of History by Francis Fukuyama
The developed world has evolved toward a liberal consensus that is effectively close to ending the basis for violent contention of the past
Western liberal democracy returning to unabashed victory of economic and political liberalism
End of history: the endpoint of mankind’s ideological evolution and universalization of western liberal democracy as the final form of human government
End of history idea from Karl Marx who borrowed from Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Alexander Kojeve
The progress of history must lead toward the establishment of a universal homogenous state incorporating elements of liberal or social democracy
History= an evolutionary process
Events still occur at the end of history
Man is unable to control technology therefore his future is bleak
End of history- liberal democracy will become the only form of government for all states and will be the last form of government
A world dominated by economic concerns in which there are no ideological grounds for major conflicts between nations, and in which consequently, the use of military force becomes less legitimate
the struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
