    I might be mistaken, but this might be from the Historical Theory course by Staloff for the Great Courses. It went out of print many years ago and I've been hunting it down for over a decade. I'm getting so much value out of this channel that I will join its Patreon/Join option.

    Great lecture. Still topical as we are, of course, still in the Kali Yuga -- it's more apparent than ever. I get the impression that the speaker is voicing his own opinion as much as he is giving us Eliade's (and I'm not implying that that's a bad thing). This has reignited my wish to read Eliade's works. Previously I have only read sacred texts anthologised by him.

      ​@@sangwaraumo the Kali Yuga is said to last for about 432,000 years, so I'd say quite a few generations in a row can claim that and be right.. hehe.
      I don't mean it that literally (in terms of the number of years and so on) but Western civilisation is certainly on a massive downturn, while others may not be.

      @@Vingul I believe that ever since the advent of language, we have had people thinking they're at history's end. Life has been miserable for a good chunk of humanity since the whole chebang - as it is for most animals.
      And while we're not doing much better than the last generation, there are some improvements. Sure we need to put some effort for a better world, but the one we have isn't so bad.

      Marx? No. Primitive accumulation is a consequence of a primitive communism. Communism is man's return to paradise.
      Hegel? No. The absolute is the pure Nothing ("Das Nichts"), the Being that has Become. It has returned to itself as Everything, ("Die Alles") which has no difference, and is therefore Nothing at all.
      Augustine? Yes.
