Summary: "Today, as globalization deepens daily and the world becomes increas ingly integrated, the time has come to revise the conventional Euro-cen tric view on world history. The author has been exploring for several y ears now how best to create a new world history. The world history that we learn and understand today is already out of step with the times. T herefore, it is imperative to envisage a new world history that is suit able to our own time. What description of history, then, is appropriate for our contemporary times? To answer this question, the author first reviews what kind of perception we have of world history and what is wr ong with it. Subsequently, he looks into what is the new world history that is called for and how it can be created. The author finds that mor e and more people are behaving with an awareness of themselves as inhab itants of this earth, willing to mutually transcend differences of view s so as to defend this one and only earth of ours and let people the wo rld over live more peacefully and happily. On the basis of these soul-s earching explorations, the author comes to propose a world history for inhabitants of the earth from the viewpoint of 'there is one world'"-- Provided by publisher
