In the euphoric aftermath of 1989's history-making events, the fall of the Berlin Wall and Soviet Union, reviewers heralded Francis Fukuyama's national bestseller The End of History and the Last Man as 'the first book to fully fathom the depth and range of the changes now sweeping through the world.' In After History?, 13 critics from across the political spectrum offer provocative responses to Fukuyama's bold declaration that democracy and capitalism have triumphed over totalitarianism and socialism. Fukuyama responds directly to his critics in a concluding chapter.

Review
Fukuyama's famous thesis about the end of history receives a thorough scrubbing in this excellent collection of responses. This book is a gift for anyone who wants to think over our present situation as a whole. (Mansfield, Harvey C. )
Avoiding the polemics and misunderstandings that marked much of the early response to Fukuyama, this wonderful book gathers together a group of thinkers who take the 'End of History' thesis seriously indeed, even if ultimately to reject it. The reader is left with a picture of a first rate political philosopher... (Crisis )
This is essential reading, not only for students of politics, philosophy, sociology, but for any thoughtful person who truly wishes to grasp where we stand at this turning point in history, and what is at stake in the daring and almost always misunderstood Hegelian contention that we find ourselves at the 'End of History.' (Pangle, Thomas L. )
For anyone preoccupied with the themes of twentieth century political philosophy, this collection offers scholarly commentary. (Canadian Journal Of Political Science )
