Historical teleologies have profoundly informed a variety of other disciplines, including modern philosophy, natural history, literature, humanitarian and religious philanthropism, the political thought and practice of revolution, emancipation, imperialism, colonialism and anti-colonialism, the conceptualization of universal humankind, and the understanding of modernity in general. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy exploring the extension and plurality of historical teleology, the essays in this volume revise the history of historicity in the modern period. \u003ci\u003eHistorical Teleologies in the Modern World\u003c\/i\u003e casts doubt on the idea that a single, if powerful, conception of time could function as the unifying principle of all modern historicity, instead pursuing an investigation of the plurality of modern historicities and its underlying structures. By bringing together Western and non-Western histories, this book provides the first extended treatment of the idea of historical teleology.  It will be of great value to students and scholars of modern global and intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenning Trüper\u003c\/b\u003e is a member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University, USA and the Centre de Recherches Historiques, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris, France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDipesh Chakrabarty \u003c\/b\u003eis Lawrence A.
