[a reworked and expanded version of his

The Debate”]
For further discussion and debate, see:
Thomas C. Patterson, Inventing Western Civilization (New York, 1997); especially chapter
1
(pp. 9-25 and footnotes on pp. 133-134): “Inventing
Civilization” and Chapter 4 (pp. 87-115 and footnotes on pp. 142-147):
“Inventing Barbarians”; see also on the question of convergence of cultures in
the modern world, Patterson, op. cit.,
pp. 52-55
See also (on the slowness and lateness of
the “Rise” of the West and on Spenglerian and post-Spenglerian views on the Decline of the West) the following passages / excerpts from Geoffrey Barraclough’s book
of essays entitled Turning Points in
World History (London, 1979) as follows:
excerpt (pp. 16-27) from Chapter 1: “A World Through European
Eyes” and Chapter 5 : “Culture and Civilization” (pp. 76-91, especially pp.
85-86 ff. on the superficial nature of the apparent cultural convergence cited
by Huntington and questioned by
Patterson and others; see above)
For a summary
assessment and commentary on the views of Ibn Khladun and Toynbee concerning
the Civilisation -- Barbarism Dichotomy, see
M. A. J. Beg, Islamic
and Western Concepts of Civilization (Kula Lumnpur, 1982), in particular
Chapter 4 : “Ibn Khaldun’s Study of Islamic Civilization” (pp. 33-50) revealing
the pro-sedentary and anti-pastoralist bias in classical definitions of
“civilization” in conceptualizations as they emerged from both Western and
Middle Eastern (Mediterranean World) cultural orbits

approach), see:

From the “Clash of Civilizations” to “Unity in Diversity”, Issues and Studies 34 (1998), pp. 25-47
