How did Toynbee study civilizations?
My method involved a comparative approach, examining numerous civilizations across different eras and geographical locations. I looked for commonalities in their life cycles. The 'challenge and response' paradigm was my primary analytical tool, allowing me to see how societies reacted to pressures. I believed that understanding these patterns could offer insights into the future trajectory of human civilization.
