Then D.C. Somervell's abridged version of Arnold Toynbee's Study of History. Don't worry that the original is controversial and you don't have to believe every word but read it for its passionate delivery and scope and that it should make you think.

我找到我想找的引言了，在 Arthur S. Iberal 1972 年的《走向可行系统的通论》里，他引用了阿诺德·汤因比 1962 年的《历史研究》。这段话讲的是往后看而不是往前看，不过表达的情感很相似：人们有一种强烈的倾向，去贬低那些……由个人头脑独立创造的作品，而这种贬低……
I found the quote I was looking for, it's in Arthur S. Iberal, Toward a General Science of Viable Systems (1972), and he's quoting Arnold Toynbee, A Study of History (1962). The passage concerns looking backwards rather than forwards, though the sentiment is similar: There is a strong tendency to depreciate works ... which are created by single mids, and the depreciation…
"Under the pre-1978 copyright law, you could now teach history and politics using most of Toynbee's A Study of History (vols. 7-10 were first published in 1954) or Henry Kissinger's A World Restored, or stage a modern adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's A Time to Love and A Time to Die for community theater."

The entire passage beginning with: > "This implies that the new rulers are at first considered “barbarians” by comparison to the old ones..." was also expounded upon at length by Toynbee in "A Study of History".

One defenition of Civilizations as per historian Arnold Toynbee (I am quoting from Wikipedia page for his work "The Study of History") is as follows: "The 19 major civilizations, as Toynbee sees them, are: Egyptian, Andean, Sinic, Minoan, Sumerian, Mayan, Indic, Hittite, Hellenic, Western, Orthodox Christian (Russia), Far Eastern,…
然后是 D.C. Somervell 缩编的阿诺德·汤因比的《历史研究》。别担心原著存在争议，你也不用全盘照收，但去读一读它的激情表达与宏大视野吧，它绝对会引你深思。

……科学工作如果不是环环相扣之链条上的一环，就无法独立成立，也就不可能成为坚固的一环。如果它是一环，那它也可能是薄弱的一环，使得科学变成了一个“薄弱环节问题”。在《历史研究》中，阿克顿勋爵提到了“每个学派都据为己有的闪光诫条”[2]。> 从写作中汲取的学问当与阅读并驾齐驱；切不可满足于最好的书；要多从他处寻找旁证；……

“在 1978 年之前的版权法下，你现在完全可以用汤因比的大部分《历史研究》（第 7 至 10 卷于 1954 年首次出版）或亨利·基辛格的《恢复的世界》来教历史和政治，或者把埃里希·玛利亚·雷马克的《生死存亡的年代》改编成现代剧供社区剧场演出。”至于……

……出来。以这段开头的整段内容：> “这意味与旧统治者相比，新统治者起初被视为‘野蛮人’……” 汤因比在《历史研究》中也有过大篇幅的阐述。作为大多数经济/政治事业核心与灵魂的“创造性少数”（比如 19 至 20 世纪美国工业基础的构建），后来变成了“统治性少数”……

历史学家阿诺德·汤因比对文明的一种定义（我引自他著作《历史研究》的维基百科词条）如下：“在汤因比看来，19 个主要文明是：埃及、安第斯、中华、米诺斯、苏美尔、玛雅、印度、赫梯、希腊、西方、正统基督教（俄罗斯）、远东、……
