Abstract
Rethinking World History is a collection of essays by Marshall Hodgson which contribute to the recent discussions about the history of the world, and the place of Europe in the history. This book is in three parts. In part one, the essays explore the place of Europe and modernity in world history, and challenges the adherents of both Eurocentrism and multiculturalism. In Part two of the work, Hodgson seeks to locate the history of Islamic civilization in a world historical framework.Finally, in Part three he argues that in the end there is but one history--global history--and that all the historical accounts must necessarily be resituated in a world historical context. In the present paper, the author intends to provide a report of this book. Therefore, he presents the titles of different parts of book, and then scrutinize the content of the essays of each part.
