Civilizations as Anthologies: The Patchwork of Human Progress

The story of civilizations is not a single coherent novel—it is an anthology of short stories, many of them unrelated and fragmented. The rise and fall of civilizations are shaped by a complex interplay of human decisions, natural forces, and sheer chance. No philosopher or historian can fully unravel the intricate web of causes and consequences that define this process. To truly understand a civilization, one must look beyond its historical and philosophical texts. Its dominant language, political and economic systems, religious beliefs, rituals, myths, and artistic expressions all offer vital clues to the nature of its identity and evolution.
