‘Sorokin designated his viewpoint as “integralist” and wrote at length about the civilisation-cultures that in their balance of values and conditions could be viewed as entities that had distinguishable life-cycles, with “ideational”, “idealistic”,* and “sensate” stages marking their growth and decline, this following a philosophy-of-history tradition shared by Edward Gibbon, Oswald Spengler, and Arnold Toynbee.’**
