FIRST WORLD WAR: STILL NO END IN SIGHT
Book ID/图书代码： 02000014B70145
English Summary/英文概要： That the conflicts unleashed by Great War did not end in 1918 is well known. World War II and the Cold War clearly constitute key moments in the drama that began in August 1914. This book argues that the battle of ideas which crystallised during the course of the Great War continue to the present. It claims that the disputes about lifestyles and identity - the Culture Wars of today -are only the latest expressions of a century long conflict.
There are many influences that contributed to the outbreak of World War One. One significant influence was the cultural tension and unease that disposed significant numbers of artists, intellectuals and young people to regard the War as an opportunity give meaning to their existence. Later these tensions merged with social unrest and expressed themselves through the new ideologies of the Left and the Right. While these ideologies have become exhausted the conflicts of culture persist to this date. That is why there is Still No End In Sight for the battle of ideas set in motion in August 1914.
Modern wars did not only lead to the loss of millions of lives. Wars also played a significant role in changing attitudes towards the political ideals of modern time. The Great War called into question the future of liberal democracy. It led to the emergence of radical ideologies, which were in turn discredited through the experience of the Second World War and the Cold War. The current Culture Wars have significantly eroded the status of the values associated with modernity.
Through exploring the battle of ideas set in motion in August 1914 - First World War- Still No End In Sight - provides a framework for understanding the changing focus of political conflict from ideology to culture.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 众所周知，世界大战遗留下的矛盾与冲突直至1918年都未能停歇。二战与其后的冷战显然组成了这场开始于1914年八月的戏剧的主要部分。本书将向我们展示，世界大战期间所形成的战争理念甚至都今日都有着巨大的影响。本书认为生活方式与身份--当今文化战争--所有这些都只不过是长达一个世纪的冲突后的最新表达方式而已。
有许许多多不同的因素导致了第一次世界大战的爆发。其中最重要的影响之一便是文化冲突与不适，可以说抹杀了无数的艺术家、知识分子及年轻人，让他们觉得这场战争给了他们让生命具有意义的机会。随后，这些紧张局势随着社会动荡出现，并借由左翼和右翼等新意识形态的方式表达其自身。尽管这些意识形态已逐渐衰落，其对文化的冲击却延续至今。正因为此，1914年八月以来的意识形态仍然活跃，且毫无休止的征兆。
现代战争的影响不仅仅是成千上百万生命的失去。战争在帮助人们改变对现代政治的思想理念上也起着至关重要的影响作用。世界大战让人们开始思索自由民主的未来。它导致了激进主义思想的产生，这样的一种思想在二战后反过来直接导致了冷战的发生。现阶段的文化战争则是在极大的程度上侵蚀了现代化的价值。
通过对1914年八月后到第一次世界大战这一阶段开始的意识战争进行探究，本书将让你能够粗略理解政治冲突从意识形态向文化领域的焦点转变。（DC）
