X, Y and Z Strauss’ and Howe's Theory of Generational Cycles in the Light of Former Theories
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to familiarize Polish academic readers with hypothesis of secular cycle introduced by William Straussa and Neil Howe. In their book, The Fourth Turning: What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny, authors propose to look at human generations succession as a cycle, during which some tendecnies and attitudes rise and fall. I will present the notions of the book compared to some classic theorists of generations, like, among others, Mannheim, Ortega y Gasset, Garewicz.
