Global History and the Third World

---

For cultures of the West the existence of Athens, Florence or Paris is more important than that of Lo-
Yang or Pataliputra. But, is it permissible to found a scheme of world history on estimates of such a
sort?... The most appropriate designation for this current West-European scheme of history in which
the great Cultures are made to follow orbits round us as the presumed center of all world-happenings,
is the Ptolemaic system of history. The system that [should be] put forward in place of it I regard as the
Copernican discovery in the historical sphere, in that it admits no sort of privileged position to the
Classical or Western Culture as against the Cultures of India, Babylon, China, Egypt, the Arabs,
Mexico - separate worlds of dynamic being which count just as much in the general picture of history....
How immensely far... one must look.., before one dare assert the pretension to understand world history
the world-as-history.
