Koneczny believed in a \"plurality of civilizations\" rather than a universal path of historical development. Developed fully during the troubled interwar period, his \"science of civilizations\" prefigured the \"clash of civilizations\" theories of our own era. Koneczny was especially concerned with pressure from \"the Orient\" on Polish society by the so-called Byzantine, Turanian, and Jewish civilizations. He believed that Poland's distinct cultural identity was grounded in Latin (Western) civilization and derived from the classical heritage of the Roman Republic and medieval Catholicism. Adherents to Koneczny's worldview--which Wise defines as \"Konecznian fundamentalism\" or \"civilizational fundamentalism\"--embrace Koneczny's \"quincunx of existential values\" as a way to understand the world. Koneczny's theories and analytical framework thus provide a scholarly foundation for popular criticism of globalization, cosmopolitanism, immigration, feminism, the European Union, and other perceived threats to traditional Polish society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521569833181,"sku":"9780940962750","price":34.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/jtG8C7Rpa09780940962750.webp?v=1772263695","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/feliks-koneczny-and-civilizational-fundamentalism-in-poland-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
