Titelbeschreibung

Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Discussion and Essays, Pwani University (Pwani University), course: M.A. Sociology, language: English, abstract: Fukuyama's essay, "End of The History," later integrated into his book, "The End of History and Last Man," elicited widespread controversy and debate regarding liberal democracy. Fukuyama argued that the final phase of humanity's socio-political evolution was the victory of liberal democracy. Using the phrase "end of history," Francis Fukuyama noted that, based on his observation, the universalization of Western liberal democracy marked the end point of humanity's ideological evolution. His essay aimed to demonstrate that liberalism was ideal for governing the material world as well as the realm of ideas or consciousness. For this assignment, I will argue against Fukuyama's thesis by drawing extensively from the arguments forwarded by three other authors, including Achille Mbembe, Slavoj Žižek, and Samuel Huntington, in their works "Necropolitics,"Critique of Capitalism," and "Clash of Civilizations" respectively. A critical analysis of these works will provide a strong foundation that challenges Fukuyama's view of the end of history.
