In the Universal History, which was published from 1736to 1766 in England, and which probably is the first modern world history, civilization is discussed from several different viewpoints, with various, ambiguous ideas of civilization, which can be analyzed and classified into the following four different categories. 1. Ideas of Civilization Based on Christian Views Because the Universal History is written in the framework of Mosaic history, it has a strong tendency to esteem Christian civilizations, rejecting pagan ones. Particularly remarkable is the contempt for Islam. 2. Ideas of Civilization Based on Progressivism The Universal History tries to evaluate civilization, measuring the degree of progress in such fields as farming, arts, manufacturing, trade, health and hygiene, government system, manners, industry, and learning. 3. Ideas of Civilization Based on Imperialism The Universal History tends to describe products of each area from the viewpoint of how much they are useful to European countries. This tendency can be referred to as imperialistic. 4. Ideas of Civilization Based on Globalism Sometimes the Universal History estimates a civilization in its own values. This tendency can be referred to as globalism because all civilizations are regarded as equal. In spite of its complexity, the Universal History is lacking in ecological considerations, resulting in a contempt for all the 'primitive' cultures, and failing to understand their significance to the global environment.
