Key Notes

Comparative model stated in this lecture.

model

Jiang groups the Bible, Virgil, Pax Romana, and Fukuyama as variants of line-history because each imagines movement toward an end point where conflict is resolved.

Historical-intellectual model explained in the 2024-05-31 lecture.

model

Jiang summarizes Fukuyama's end-of-history argument as the claim that liberal democracy is the victorious synthesis after capitalism and communism, using Hegel's dialectic as the intellectual frame.

Retrospective diagnosis of post-Cold War ideology stated in this interview with unknown source date.

diagnosis

Jiang treats Fukuyama's post-Soviet end-of-history liberal triumphalism as propaganda rather than a valid account of political development.
