The Historiography of Transition: Critical Phases in the Development of Modernity (1494-1973) by Paolo Pombeni
Defining a historic transition means understanding how the complex system of intellectual, social, and material structures formed that determined the transition from a certain universe to a new universe, where the old explanations were radically rethought. In this book, a group of historians with specializations ranging from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries and across political, religious, and social fields, attempt a reinterpretation of modernity as the new Axial Age.
