Age of Global Dialogue
Age of Global Dialogue

Summary/Abstract: Those scholars who earlier in the twentieth century with a great show of scholarship and historical/sociological analysis predicted the impending demise of Western Civilization were "dead wrong". After World War I, in 1922, Oswald Spengler wrote his widely acclaimed book, The Decline of the West. After the beginning of World War II Pitirim A. Sorokin published in 1941 his likewise popular book, The Crisis of Our Age. Given the massive, worldwide scale of the unprecedented destruction and horror of the world' first global war, 1914-18, and the even vastly greater of the second global conflict, 1939-45, the pessimistic predictions of these scholars and the great following they found are not ununderstandable.
