| Description | Great divergence (i.e. why Europe progressed faster than anyone else) has an important place in civilization studies as well as political and ethical ramifications. Ferguson's Civilization: The West and the Rest solves this problem by positing six key advantages of the West. This article aims to show that this approach is not only openly political and problematic in terms of internal consistency, but also unsupported by contemporary historical science. |
