505 0 Eurocentrism -- Introduction -- The quest for subjective
eurocentrism -- Rival to the East --The discovery of
Islamic superiority (1095-1453) -- Lingering Asian
superiority (1453-1776) -- Rival to the West -- The real
American Revolution (1776-1820) -- America ascendant (1820
-1914) -- World America (1918-present)
520 The study unearths in European writings about chief rivals
-- Islamic civilization between the first Crusade in 1095
and the final Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, and the
United States of America from independence in 1776 until
the present persistent solicitude regarding
Europe'scapacity to lead the world. Intriguingly, however,
this very self-doubt prompted the kind of intense
introspection which helped, in the past,to forge seismic
progressive reform movements such as the Renaissance,
Reformation and Scientific Revolution that ultimately
propelled Europepast a more inward-looking Islam and which,
today, may very well be positioning a rapidly transforming
Europe Union to counter the hegemony of a seemingly smug
America. The study concludes that frail, if not low self-
esteem has played a significant role in the formation of
European identity
