Title: Parsimonious Nonsense
Review: Not recommended. This simplistic attempt to create a "scientific" approach to the understanding of history is useless except as an example of an outdated mode of thinking which did not take into account the principles of chaos, complexity, and uncertainty. Human history is among the most complex and chaotic of systems. Keep in mind that Quigley wrote this book during the era (the 1950s and early 1960s) when it was widely believed that within a few decades, "science" would enable us to perfectly predict and control another complex system, the weather.The understanding of history is best approached through the lens of moral philosophy, not through the kind of pseudoscience presented in this book.
