I didn't get through the pages easily at first. I bought it because it was highly recommended, but if you read it patiently until the middle, you become engrossed and find yourself turning the pages before you know it. I recommend giving it a read.
I have gained an understanding of the overall content and grasped the outline.
Samuel Huntington's *Clash of Civilizations* presents an important theory regarding the clash of various cultures, addressing the problems and challenges that arise when different civilizations collide. Huntington emphasizes the differences between civilizations and argues that these differences have a significant impact on global affairs. However, the final chapter deals with the controversial topic of Western centrism, which elicits both criticism and support from various perspectives.
The book is thick, so it is not a book you can progress through quickly. However, it makes you think slowly about how civilizations played a role in the clash of worlds.
It’s a difficult book, if you consider it difficult... but I enjoy challenging books, so I’m not afraid. Let’s do this!!
The scholar's insight is truly remarkable. I heard that he stated the war between the West and the Middle East was not a clash of civilizations, but whether intended or not, it is a good book that presents a scene in world history.
It's not a hardcover, so you can spread it out and read it anytime. It's about 600 pages long, and I'm reading it in chunks; the stories are quite relevant even now, except for Korea...
Predicting over 20 years ago the potential for conflict that can be summarized as differences in culture and religion is a tremendous insight, but I wonder how much it actually resonates with each individual within those cultural and religious spheres. In particular, I found myself scratching my head at the way the relationship between China, Korea, and Japan is so easily explained as being grouped together under one Chinese cultural sphere, as well as the passage suggesting that North and
A masterpiece by world-renowned scholar Dr. Samuel. It provides an excellent yet accessible explanation of how culture and religion lurk behind the conflicts, tensions, and civil wars occurring throughout the 21st century.
Re-reading this book, published over 20 years ago, I find myself marveling at the foresight of the intellectuals of that era. The prediction that God's vengeance would begin became a reality in the 2000s, and China is now attempting to establish itself as the hegemon of East Asia. Furthermore, it is pressuring us, asking whose side we are on and demanding that we clarify our identity. Reading this book, I find myself reflecting on the fate of weak nations situated on the fault lines of
Samuel Huntington: Clash of civilizations
*The Clash of Civilizations* is a book that offers clear insights into the fundamental causes of horrific terror and civil wars severe enough to warrant the declaration of a national emergency. It presents a new framework of perspective for us as we view the numerous conflicts of today. Huntington divides the world not into the individual nations we know, but into seven or eight civilizations—including the West, Latin America, Islam, Hinduism, Confucianism, and Japan—and explains that armed conflicts between nations arise not from ideological differences, but from differences in tradition, culture, and religion. This book is a revised edition of *The Clash of Civilizations* (Kim Youngsa), originally published in 1997.
