Post-Cold War Theories: Fukuyama vs. Huntington

This video delves into Post-Cold War theories, specifically examining Francis Fukuyama's assertion that our world history has reached its zenith, signaling the end of ideological conflicts, as outlined in his work "The End of History and the Last Man." In contrast, Samuel P. Huntington's counterargument in "The Clash of Civilizations" suggests that ideological conflict has given way to intense cultural conflicts. Is this phenomenon the "Revenge of God," as described by Gilles Kepel? Additionally, the video incorporates ideas from Benjamin Barber's "Jihad vs. McWorld" to analyze contemporary geopolitics in the aftermath of the Cold War.
It's crucial to emphasize that our exclusive focus here is on the ideas themselves rather than on the theorist or philosopher. This approach aims to de-canonize the author, separating them from their work, as part of my broader project to "ruthlessly criticize everything existing" by employing philosophical ideas while abstaining from canonizing the theorist.
