>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 9 20:10:45 2012 No.2470533 Um.. Spengler? Toynbee? Those guys kind of follow Hegel, but they're the best in the tradition. Plato's five stages of government, I guess. Comedy option: eternal recurrence of the same.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 9 20:14:45 2012 No.2470545 Don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for... but Walter Benjamin could interest you.

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 9 20:15:46 2012 No.2470548 New Science by Giambattista Vico? The Nature of Time by G.J. Whitrow goes through a bunch of the different societies/cultures and a lot of early groups believed in circular time, so reading that would likely put you on your way.
