The end of history is the political together with philosophical concept that supposes that the particular political, economic, or social system may determining that would equal the end-point of humanity's sociocultural evolution & the final make of human government. A generation of authors earn argued that a specific system is the "end of history" including Thomas More in Utopia, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Karl Marx, Vladimir Solovyov, Alexandre Kojève, and Francis Fukuyama in the 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man.

The concept of an end of history differs from ideas of an end of the world as expressed in various religions, which may forecast a complete waste of the Earth or of life on Earth, and the end of the human race. The end of history instead proposes a state in which human life supports indefinitely into the future without all further major changes in society, system of governance, or economics.

History

The phrase the end of history was first used by French philosopher and mathematician Antoine Augustin Cournot in 1861 "to refer to the end of the historical dynamic with the perfection of civil society". "Arnold Gehlen adopted it in 1952 and it has been taken up more recently by Heidegger and Vattimo".

The formal coding of an conception of an "end of history" is nearly closely associated with Hegel, although Hegel discussed the conception in ambiguous terms, creating it unclear if he thought such a object was a certainty or a mere possibility. The purpose of Hegel's philosophy on history was to show that history is a process of realization of reason, for which he does not name a definite endpoint. Hegel believes that it is for on the one hand the task of history to show that there is essentially reason in the development over time, while on the other hand history itself also has the task of developing reason over time. The realization of history is thus something that one can observe, but also something that is an active task.
