First published in 1936, Western Civilization in the Near East delves into the intricate spread and development of Western civilization within the countries of the Levant and their surrounding regions. The author posits that modern civilization originated in Western Europe and gradually expanded to other parts of Europe, as well as to various corners of the globe, ultimately resulting in the Europeanization of humanity. While Europe's modern civilization initially gave it a dominant position in the world economy and politics, it also provided non-European individuals with the necessary resources to challenge and resist European control. This universal acculturation and the emergence of a cohesive and interconnected human society, grappling with similar social, economic, and cultural challenges, shaped the new trajectory of world history. This book specifically concentrates on the European encounter with the Muslim East and the profound consequences that ensued. The language employed reflects the era in which it was written, and any offense intended by the Publishers is not meant for any reader by this republication. This book holds immense interest for students of history, political science, international relations, and geography.
