An Early Modern Science of Civilization

THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN CIVILIZATION: An Early Modern Science of Civilization

In this first thought experiment of the series, I imagine the possibility of a science of civilization getting its start during the Enlightenment by a gentleman amateur who, inspired by the Grand Tour and the scientific spirit of the age, lays the foundations of an early modern science of civilization. I also consider further variations on the theme of this thought experiment, such as a medieval science of civilization.
