Big History is a seemingly novel approach that seeks to situate human history within a grand cosmic story of life. It claims to do so by uniting the historical sciences in order to construct a linear and accurate timeline of 'threshold moments' beginning with the Big Bang and ending with the present and future development of humanity itself. As well as

Dějiny – teorie – kritika
Koncepce big history zde podrobujeme kritice z konstruktivistické perspektivy a z pohledu historickovědního nominalismu. Ukazujeme, že pokud by big history směřovala k tomu, aby byla jen jakousi scientifikací Hegelovy filosofie dějin, nebyla by epistemologicky produktivní.

To what other forms of evidence reveal about pre-literate civilizations? What does that term mean—an empire, a nation, a city, a village, a family, a lonely hermit somewhere?

Historically Speaking, 2005
ural science is "moving closer to history" rather than vice-versa. At this point, he invokes Kuhn and his paradigm, having already spoken of the two-culture problem and about to speak of E.O. Wilson and his book, Consilience. We need to pause, however. While Kuhn is fashionable, his theses have not stood up well to criticism. Historians of science have

Introduction: Big History Context
2019This book on globalization sets its theme within the framework of deep time—without hesitation and on the largest possible scales. It asks, in effect, what “globalization” looks like if you ask your question within the framework of a universal history of humanity, the biosphere and even the cosmos.

Social Science History, 2007
Social science historians engage in relatively few large, collaborative projects, yet many of their activities, especially data collection and several aspects of analysis, benefit from what economists call economies of scale. Here I briefly review the historical background of big projects, place research by social science historians in perspective ...

This chapter will introduce the generic foresight process framework, examine a variety of different types of futures thinking, “locate” the use of macrohistorical models within the broader foresight process, examine some key aspects of the Big History perspective, and use this perspective to think systematically about the “contours” of the possible ...

Inference: International Review of Science, 2018
Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus should be read, not as a sequence of vatic pronouncements, but as a range of thought experiments—admittedly chilling ones—and as prophecies that may come true.
