A Study of History

Book • 1934
In 'A Study of History', Arnold J. Toynbee presents a philosophy of history that examines the genesis, growth, and fall of every human civilization.

The work, published between 1934 and 1961, identifies recurring patterns in the rise and decline of civilizations, attributing their development to creative responses to challenges and their decline to the failure of their leaders to continue responding innovatively.

Toynbee also explores the role of religious and spiritual systems, cultural exchanges, and the impact of internal and external factors on the trajectory of civilizations.

The book is known for its meticulous research, extensive use of primary sources, and analytical depth, making it a seminal work in historiography.
