Çağımızın yaşayan en büyük tarihçilerinden biri, belki de birincisi William McNeill, Külliyat yayınlarından çıkardığımız Avrupa Tarihinin Oluşumu başlıklı önemli kitabına, ezber bozucu bir tartışmayla giriş yapar. AVRUPA TARİHİ ÖZGÜRLÜKLER DEĞİL İMTİYAZLAR TARİHİDİR Avrupa tarihi özgürlükler tarihi olarak yazılır hep, der McNeill ve bunun büyük bir mit / “masal” olduğunu söyler, Avrupa tarihinin “imtiyazlar / ayrıcalıklar tarihi” olduğunu hatırlatır. McNeill'in, izinden gittiği Fernand Braudel de aynı fikri temellendirmeye çalışmıştı ondan yıllar önce... Özgürleşme'den öncelikle liberalizmi kasteder McNeill ama daha derinlemesine bakıldığında sekülerizm sorunu olduğunu görürüz bunun. Hem liberalizm sorunu hem de sekülerizm sorunu insanın özgürlüğü sorunudur aslında. İnsanın özgürlüğü sorunu, iki otoriteden kurtulma ya da bağımsızlaşma meselesidir: Birincisi, hristiyan kilisesinin otoritesinden / tasallutundan kurtulma; ikincisi de insanın aklı kutsamasının eseri olarak insanı araçların esiri derekesine düşürecek bilim kilisesinin seküler otoritesinden / tasallutundan, insanı araçların kölesi kılan kapanından kurtulma sorunu. Modernite, özgürlük retoriği olarak kuruldu ama kendi dışındakilerin özgürlüklerinin, kendi olma, kendi olarak kalma haklarının yok edildiği saldırgan bir tecrübe üretti yerküre üzerinde. Bu mesele, ayrı bir yazının konusu. İSLÂM, KANT VE İNSANIN ÖZGÜRLÜK SORUNU Modernitenin özgürlük vaadi, retorikten ibaret kaldı. Felsefî derinlikten de yoksundu çünkü. Moderniteyi kuran bütün yapı taşlarını döşeyen Kant'ın temel sorununun özgürlük sorunu olması bundan kaynaklanıyordu. İslâm medeniyeti kuşatılacak, durdurulacak ve Avrupa kurulacaktı: İslâm medeniyetinin dünya hayatını inkâr etmeyen dinamizminden beslenen Protestanlıkla dolayısıyla kilise gücünün nihâî olarak devre-dışı bırakılması ve dünyevî / beşerî gücün devreye girdirilmesi, yegâne otorite, hegemonya ve meşrûiyet kaynağı katına yükseltilmesiyle İslâm medeniyeti durdurulabilir, Avrupa'yı, ancak dini hayattan uzaklaştıran ve dünyayı, dünyevî gücü kutsayan Protestanlık kurabilirdi. Kant, büyük adamdı. Eflatun'dan sonraki ilk büyük filozof olarak kendisini görüyordu. Tartışılabilecek ilginç bir konuydu bu. Ama tartışılmayacak konu şuydu: Kant, son Eflatuncu'ydu: İnsanın kiliseden özgürleşmesi, Tanrı'dan özgürleşmesi, gerçek anlamda özgürleşmesini mi getirecekti yoksa özgür iradesini, geçici güçlere ve aygıtlara kaptırmasıyla, dolayısıyla özgürlüğünü kaybetmesiyle mi sonuçlanacaktı? Kant'ın zihnini meşgul eden büyük soru/n buydu. Kant, nihâî bir çıkış yolu sunmadı. Uçları birleştirmekle yetindi: İngiliz ampirizmi ve Fransız rasyonalizminin aşırılıklarını törpüleyerek bir sentez koydu ortaya: İlk bakışta iyi çatılmış gibi duran ama çatırdağında çok büyük yıkıma yol açacak bir zihin mimarisi, yapı/lanma/sı. Dualizm felsefesi, ruh-beden dualizmi hangi taraf ağır basarsa bassın, sonuçta, çıkmaz sokağın eşiğine sürüklüyordu insanı. Dualizm aşılmalıydı. Ortaçağlarda “ruh” yani kilise kutsandı; ama kilise dondurdu zihni. Bu kez beden / nicelik / araç kutsanma tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya kalabilirdi. Dün Hıristiyanlık kilisesinin yerini alan özgürlük kaybı sorunu, artık, akıl kilisesi, bilim kilisesi, teknoloji kilisesi tarafından yaşatılabilirdi bütün insanlığa. Kant bütün bu ontolojik sorunları görebilen ama Avrupa'yı geçici olarak da olsa kuracak ve ayağa kaldırarak “kurtaracak” felsefî çıkış yolunu bulabilen veya önerebilen tek kişiydi: Yıkıcı dualizm aşılmalıydı. KANT'IN SEKÜLER AHLÂK'I VE YÜCE ESTETİĞİ, İNSANA ÖZGÜRLÜĞÜNÜ VEREBİLDİ Mİ Sentez önerdi Kant. Ama “yapay” bir sentezdi önerdiği: Hıristiyan kilisesinin insanın özgür iradesinin önüne set çekmesini önlemek için aklın önünü açtı; ama aklın aşırılıklarının dünyayı cehenneme çevirmesinin önüne geçmek için de aklın aşırılıklarını dizginleyecek iki yol sundu: Dinden bir şekilde kopmuş seküler bir ahlâk ama görünüşte dinde köklenen “yüce” bir estetik.

The history of disease demonstrates both the accidental nature of history and the triumph of human reason that can enable us to gain some control over our fate; most of us no longer suffer the death of half our children, among other nightmares. William McNeill’s book, Plagues and Peoples, was the first comprehensive history to capture this balance, and after more than 40 years it remains one of the most insightful narratives on how disease has both shaped and been shaped by civilization.

Global histories began to appear in the 1990s though they emerged in response to the grand world histories of William McNeill some years earlier. They often address issues of race, empire and nation on a global scale and advocate the construction of multiple ‘globalizations’ in historical time and space.

Dr. Ken Chase is the author of Firearms: A Global History to 1700, which legendary historian William McNeill described as "a great achievement." In Firearms, Ken does much more than summarize how firearms develops; he asks why China was the first to develop gunpowder but failed to turn that early lead into an effective gun. Popular explanations tend to focus on culture and race, but Ken has delved deep into the records of the time and in an engaging narrative reveals that not developing the modern gun was a rational response when you realize the Chinese were fighting the Mongols. Unlike modern firearms, early firearms were slow, heavy, lacked range and were ineffective…especially against fast moving Mongol horsemen. That's because a cannon required not only the horses to carry it, but the horses to carry the food to feed the horses that carried the cannon. Then, of course, more horses were needed to carry food for those horses meaning that all in all 200 horses were required to provide support for a single cannon. Given the incredible speed and range of Mongol warriors, these early firearms were more of a liability than an asset which is precisely why the Chinese never made them a priority. A very different situation existed in Europe. Settled agricultural civilizations fought settled agricultural civilizations. Without the ability to run away and their heavy reliance on stone walls, cities were an ideal target for attack by cannon. Very quickly the cannon became a mainstay of European warfare and the road to transforming the firearm into the essential weapon had been embarked upon.Bryan, Hunter and Ken discuss firearms, history, the challenges of supplying an army and a lot about the mind-blowing military prowess of the Mongols. Mongol impressiveness is a topic that Ken feels very comfortable talking about as he is currently working on a multi-volume edition history of the Mongols that will require him learning to read in several new languages. Given that Ken has kids and his day job is as a high-end corporate lawyer in Hong Kong, it's no wonder that he expects his next book to take a decade to write. Look for it in 2024! In the meantime, you can enjoy hearing about all sorts of awesome Mongol eating habits and military domination.
