Francis Fukuyama - A történelem vége and az last human (2022)

In 1989, Francis Fukuyama published The End of History? titled, a study of only a few pages, and with that he became world famous in one fell swoop.
It has been debated in thousands of articles, every relevant historian and political scientist in the world has expressed his opinion in the "endism" debate.
Then Fukuyama also wrote his theory in a book, and it turned out that he reached the conclusion based on a philosophically thorough and deep analysis that liberal democracy is "the end point of the ideological development of humanity", "the final form of government, and as such the end of universal history may".
Since then, whatever happens in the world - terrorists destroy the World Trade Center, another war breaks out somewhere, some kind of revolution overturns a system - journalists almost reflexively mention the huge mistake of Fukuyama, who naively thought in 1989 that history had ended.
Of course, Fukuyama's most serious critic was Samuel P. Huntington, who believes that the future will not bring the triumph of liberal democracy, but the clash of civilizations.
Watching and experiencing world events, it's as if Huntington stands to win...
In fact, "liberalism" has now become a swear word in many parts of the world, for many.
The zeitgeist has changed thoroughly since the nineties - but perhaps that is precisely why it is worth rereading (or finally reading properly) Fukuyama's book.
To better understand what one can lose if one cannot preserve the values ​​of liberal democracy.
