Ever since the triumph of Christianity over Roman civilization, the cyclical view of history was replaced with a conception of history as the unfolding of a grand plan. Far from rejecting the tropes of Christianity, Enlightenment philosophers presented them in a secular guise by providing intoxicating accounts of the West as lifting humanity out of its primitive slumber and leading it toward freedom, self-government, and self-actualization. This grand narrative is at the heart of American exceptionalism. At the end of the Cold War, when the United States emerged as the sole superpower, she started to think in terms of her exceptionalism. This pseudo-theological thinking led her astray. This book is a critical analysis of the political theories that have contributed to the blunders of American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War.
