Arnold J Toynbee was a historian whose 12-volume A Study of History had a huge impact on the thinking of his day. This epic, multi-volume work offered a grand synthesis of world history from the global perspective of the rise and fall of civilizations, rather than concentrating on the history of nation-states or of ethnic groups. For Time magazine Toynbee was 'an international sage' and certainly in the same bracket as 'Einstein, Schweitzer or Bertrand Russell'. Daisaku Ikeda is a figure of global stature, the spiritual leader of a worldwide lay Buddhist organisation devoted to the promotion of education, culture and peace. Between 1971 and 1974 Toynbee and Ikeda discussed many of the vital issues which confronted their societies in the early 1970s, all of which remain current and significant. Indeed, topics such as the problems of pollution, dwindling natural resources, conflict and war, the role of religion, and population growth, are even more pressing than they were thirty years ago. In this volume - which still reads as freshly as it did whenit was first published, and which is now reissued for a new generation of readers - the inspiring challenge issued by both men is framed as follows: will humankind choose to salvage its destiny by a revolution in thinking and morals? Or will disaster ensue if it pursues its present course towards self-destruction and the despoliation of the environment? While recognising that our survival is threatened by the imbalance between human immaturity and technological achievement, the optimistic message of this classic Dialogue is that man-made evils have a man-made cure.

Will disaster ensue if it pursues its present course towards self-destruction and despoliation of the environment?

一直很敬仰汤因比,因为他有很宏观的看待历史的方式。知道有这本书就很有看的冲动,看了之后发现和他的其他著作很不同,在这里就像两个邻居平平淡淡的聊着,没有豪言壮语,但是充满智慧。

1992年在大学图书馆里看到这本书的,看完后,发现买不到。为了得到这本书,我做了这辈子不多的有点卑鄙的事——对图书馆工作人员宣称书丢了…… 这是一本对人类对文明对历史对人性对社会对未来无所不谈的对话录,30多年过去了,它依然对现在和将来有启发的作为。当时,它是我...

译按:许多人听说池田大作之名,都是从他和英国史学大师汤因比的对谈录《展望二十一世纪》开始的。《祖父形象的价值》(The Value of a Grandfather Figure)一文原载1984年5月19日英国《卫报》,由汤氏孙女撰写,披露了关于池田大作其人以及该次对谈的一些内幕。虽已是三十多...
