In these papers, Nowak constructs a dynamic model of religious community, reconstructs historiosophical assumptions of liberalism and considers the methodological status of prognosis of totalitarization of capitalist society. In the second part of the book, new contributions to non-Marxian historical materialism are presented. Their authors analyze mechanisms of the oligarchization of liberal democracy, the democratization of real socialism, and the development of early modern Ottoman and post-war Chinese societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn Leszek Nowak’s Theory of the Historical Process: Preface    Krzysztof Brzechczyn    List of Tables and Figures   Notes on Contributors   part 1  Leszek Nowak on Non-Marxian Historical Materialism  1 Religion as a Class Structure: A Contribution to Non-Marxian Historical Materialism    Leszek Nowak    2 The Truth Unbearable for All    Leszek Nowak    3 Hegel and Liberalism: On the Issue of the Nature of Historiosophy    Leszek Nowak    4 The Problem of the So-called Social Transformation    Leszek Nowak    5 The End of History or Its Repetition?    Leszek Nowak    6 Marxism versus Liberalism: A Certain Paradox    Leszek Nowak    7 The On-the-verge Effect in a Historical Process: An Attempt at an Interpretation in the Light of Non-Marxian Historical Materialism    Leszek Nowak    8 Hegel’s Chuckle, That is, Marxism and Liberalism in Polish Politics    Leszek Nowak    9 On the Prediction of the Totalitarization of Capitalism: An Attempt at an Evaluation after Twenty Years Later    Leszek Nowak    part 2  On Totalitarization of Capitalism, Democratization of Real Socialism and Development of Non-European Societies  10 The Problem of Totalitarization of the Capitalist Society    Tomasz Zarębski    11 The Problem of the Accumulation of Class Divisions in Contemporary Capitalism: An Attempt at a Theoretical Analysis    Mieszko Ciesielski    12 How Does Democracy Evolve in Autocracy?    Tomasz Banaszak    13 On Coalitions and Party Splintering: A Contribution to the Theory of Power in Non-Marxian Historical Materialism    Marcin Połatyński    14 On Two Types of Democratization: Poland and Czechoslovakia: An Attempt at Theoretical Analysis    Lidia Godek    15 The Social Structure of the Ottoman Society: An Attempt at a Theoretical Analysis    Eliza Karczyńska    16 The Dynamics of Power in Postwar China: An Attempt at a Theoretical Analysis    Dawid Rogacz    Name Index   Subject Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51535929049431,"sku":"9789004507272","price":151.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/new-developments-in-the-theory-of-the-historical-process-polish-contributions-to-non-marxian-historical-materialism-9789004507272","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
