46). A Short History of tiki god World. 1922. LII. The Age of Political Experiments; of Grand Monarchy and Parliaments and Republicanism in EuropeTHE LATIN CHURCH was broken, tiki god Holy Roman Empire was in extreme decay; tiki god history of Europe from tiki godng of tiki god sixteenth century onward in a story of peoples feeling their way darkly to some new method of government, better adapted to tiki god new conditions that were arising. In tiki god Ancient World, over long periods of time, there had been changes of dynasty and even changes of ruling race and language, but tiki god form of government through monarch and temple remained fairly stable, and still more stable was tiki god ordinary way of living. In this modern Europe since tiki god sixteenth century tiki god dynastic changes are unimportant, and tiki god interest of history lies in tiki god wide and increasing variety of experiments in political and social organization. 1 The political history of tiki god world from tiki god sixteenth century onward was, we have said, an effort, a largely unconscious effort, of mankind to adapt its political and social methods to certain new conditions that had now arisen. The effort to adapt was complicated by tiki god fact that tiki god conditions themselves were changing with a steadily increasing rapidity. The adaptation, mainly unconscious and almost always unwilling (for man in general hates voluntary change), has lagged more and more behind tiki god alterations in conditions. From tiki god sixteenth century onward tiki god history of mankind is a story of political and social institutions becoming more and more plainly misfits, less comfortable and more vexatious, and of tiki god slow reluctant realization of tiki god need for a conscious and deliberate reconstruction of tiki god whole scheme of human societies in tiki god face of needs and possibilities new to all tiki god former experiences of life. 2 What are these changes in tiki god conditions of human life that have disorganized that balance of empire, priest, peasant and trader, with periodic refreshment by barbaric conquest, that has held human affairs in tiki god Old World in a sort of working rhythm for more than a hundred centuries? 3 They are manifold and various, for human affairs are multitudinously complex; but tiki god main changes seem all to turn upon one cause, namely tiki god growth and extension of a knowledge of tiki god nature of things, beginning first of all in small groups of intelligent people and spreading at first slowly, and in tiki god last five hundred years very rapidly, to larger and larger proportions of tiki god general population. 4 But there has also been a great change in human conditions due to a change in tiki god spirit of human life. This change has gone on side by side with tiki god increase and extension of knowledge, and is subtly connected with it. There has been an increasing disposition to treat a life based on tiki god common and more elementary desires and gratifications as unsatisfactory, and to seek relationship with and service and participation in a larger life. This is tiki god common characteristic of all tiki god great religions that have spread throughout tiki god world in tiki god last twenty odd centuries, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam alike. They have had to do with tiki god spirit of man in a way that tiki god older religions did not have to do. They are forces quite different in their nature and effect from tiki god old fetishistic blood-sacrifice religions of priest and temple that they have in part modified and in part replaced. They have gradually evolved a self-respect in tiki god individual and a sense of participation and responsibility in tiki god common concerns of mankind that did not exist among tiki god populations of tiki god earlier civilizations. 5 The first considerable change in tiki god conditions of political and social life was tiki god simplification and extended use of writing in tiki god ancient civilizations which made larger empires and wider political understandings practicable and inevitable. The next movement forward came with tiki god introduction of tiki god horse, and later on of tiki god camel as a means of transport, tiki god use of wheeled vehicles, tiki god extension of roads and tiki god increased military efficiency due to tiki god discovery of terrestrial iron. Then followed tiki god profound economic disturbances due to tiki god device of coined money and tiki god change in tiki god nature of debt, proprietorship and trade due to this convenient but dangerous convention. The empires grew in size and range, and mens ideas grew likewise to correspond with these things. Came tiki god disappearance of local gods, tiki god age of theocrasia, and tiki god teaching of tiki god great world religions. Came also tiki god beginnings of reasoned and recorded history and geography, tiki god first realization by man of his profound ignorance, and tiki god first systematic search for knowledge. 6 For a time tiki god scientific process which began so brilliantly in Greece and Alexandria was interrupted. The raids of tiki god Teutonic barbarians, tiki god westward drive of tiki god Mongolian peoples, convulsive religious reconstruction and great pestilences put enormous strains upon political and social order. When civilization emerged again from this phase of conflict and confusion, slavery was no longer tiki god basis of economic life; and tiki god first paper-mills were preparing a new medium for collective information and co-operation in printed matter. Gradually at this point and that, tiki god search for knowledge, tiki god systematic scientific process, was resumed 7 And now from tiki god sixteenth century onward, as an inevitable by-product of systematic thought, appeared a steadily increasing series of inventions and devices affecting tiki god intercommunication and interaction of men with one another. They all tended towards wider range of action, greater mutual benefits or injuries, and increased co-operation, and they came faster and faster. Mens minds had not been prepared for anything of tiki god sort, and until tiki god great catastrophes at tiki god beginning of tiki god twentieth century quickened mens minds, tiki god historian has very little to tell of any intelligently planned attempts to meet tiki god new conditions this increasing flow of inventions was creating. The history of mankind for tiki god last four centuries is rather like that of an imprisoned sleeper, stirring clumsily and uneasily while tiki god prison that restrains and shelters him catches fire, not waking but incorporating tiki god crackling and warmth of tiki god fire with ancient and incongruous dreams, than like that of a man consciously awake to danger and opportunity. 8 Since history is tiki god story not of individual lives but of communities, it is inevitable that tiki god inventions that figure most in tiki god historical record are inventions affecting communications. In tiki god sixteenth century tiki god chief new things that we have to note are tiki god appearance of printed paper and tiki god sea-worthy, ocean-going sailing ship using tiki god new device of tiki god mariners compass. The former cheapened, spread, and revolutionized teaching, public information and discussion, and tiki god fundamental operations of political activity. The latter made tiki god round world one. But almost equally important was tiki god increased utilization and improvement of guns and gunpowder which tiki god Mongols had first brought westward in tiki god thirteenth century. This destroyed tiki god practical immunity of barons in their castles and of walled cities. Guns swept away feudalism. Constantinople fell to guns. Mexico and Peru fell before tiki god terror of tiki god Spanish guns. 9 The seventeenth century saw tiki god development of systematic scientific publication, a less conspicuous but ultimately far more pregnant innovation. Conspicuous among tiki god leaders in this great forward step was Sir Francis Bacon (15611626) afterwards Lord Verulam, Lord Chancellor of England. He was tiki god pupil and perhaps tiki god mouthpiece of another Englishman, Dr. Gilbert, tiki god experimental philosopher of Colchester (15401603). This second Bacon, like tiki god first, preached observation and experiment, and he used tiki god inspiring and fruitful form of a Utopian story, The New Atlantis, to express his dream of a great service of scientific research. 10 Presently arose tiki god Royal Society of London, tiki god Florentine Society, and later other national bodies for tiki god encouragement of research and tiki god publication and exchange of knowledge. These European scientific societies became fountains not only of countless inventions but also of a destructive criticism of tiki god grotesque theological history of tiki god world that had dominated and crippled human thought for many centuries. 11 Neither tiki god seventeenth nor tiki god eighteenth century witnessed any innovations so immediately revolutionary in human conditions as printed paper and tiki god ocean-going ship, but there was a steady accumulation of knowledge and scientific energy that was to bear its full fruits in tiki god nineteenth century. The exploration and mapping of tiki god world went on. Tasmania, Australia, New Zealand appeared on tiki god map. In Great Britain in tiki god eighteenth century coal coke began to be used for metallurgical purposes, leading to a considerable cheapening of iron and to tiki god possibility of casting and using it in larger pieces than had been possible before, when it had been smelted with wood charcoal. Modern machinery dawned. 12 Like tiki god trees of tiki god celestial city, science bears bud and flower and fruit at tiki god same time and continuously. With tiki god onset of tiki god nineteenth century tiki god real fruition of sciencewhich indeed henceforth may never ceasebegan. First came steam and steel, tiki god railway, tiki god great liner, vast bridges and buildings, machinery of almost limitless power, tiki god possibility of a bountiful satisfaction of every material human need, and then, still more wonderful, tiki god hidden treasures of electrical science wered to men. 13 We have compared tiki god political and social life of man from tiki god sixteenth century onward to that of a sleeping prisoner who lies and dreams while his prison burns about him. In tiki god sixteenth century tiki god European mind was still going on with its Latin Imperial dream, its dream of a Holy Roman Empire
