Abstract

The first part of the book provided the basis for a theory of periodization by discussing the notions that are needed for a systematic approach to dividing history. The second part argued for a framework of periodization that centers on the relations between and within societies, which were interpreted in temporal terms. The third part applied the conclusions of the first two parts to an analysis of the period 1450–1750.
