Fitzroy Dearborn Chronology of Ideas

<p>The Code of Hammurabi. Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses. The radical notions that launched the French Revolution. The beliefs that propelled the American Civil Rights movement. These are only a few of the thousands of concepts described in this remarkable chronicle of intellectual history. Presenting the ideas of philosophers, prophets, scholars, critics, educators, revolutionaries and reformers, the <em>Fitzroy Dearborn Chronology of Ideas</em> concentrates on the famous - as well as infamous - concepts that have changed the world. Here, too, are the historical turning points that resulted from the application of those ideas - the natural flow of the American Revolution from the concept of democratic liberalism, for example, or the Russian Revolution from Marxism.</p> Acknowledgments; Introduction; A Note to the Reader; Chronology; B.C; A.D; Appendix: Birth and Death Dates; Bibliography; Index;
