Book Information & Summary
Written by Jeong Soo-il
Five thousand years of human civilization is the history of interchange. That is why such a study of civilization without taking notice of cultural exchange as Huntington's cannot avoid partiality and imperfection. Especially the 20th century proved that men now couldn't live without mutual dependence and exchange. That's why we have to study the coexistence of civilizations fully and without delay.
The first to make this attempt was done by Western scholars while in concert with the Western imperial states colonization of Eastern nations. Therefore some foundation of the study were laid during the period.
But despite these efforts, there remain lots of problems to be solved. Above all, there are still needed some guiding principles in order to overcome the inclination toward Occidentalism.
