Synopsis: A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. They sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there.

measured from the seabed to its summit, it is 33,465 feet high—about three-quarters of a mile taller than Mount Everest.

In this essay I argue that close attention to Afghānī’s theory of civilization helps resolve this apparent contradiction. Afghānī’s interest in Ibn Khaldūn and the French historian Guizot is well known, but has not been fully explored in the literature. I suggest that understanding Guizot’s distinctive approach to the concept of civilization illuminates Afghānī’s
