• Resumen

  • El debate acerca de las causas que explican el auge de Occidente reúne una gran variedad de puntos de vista que tratan de resolver este enigma. El presente artículo pretende ser una introducción general en la que presentar de un modo sistemático las diferentes perspectivas que existen, así como a los autores más representativos de las mismas. Además de esto, el artículo pone de relieve la importancia y valor de este tema en un contexto como el actual, en el que la hegemonía occidental es abiertamente desafiada por China. Asimismo, acerca al público de habla hispana una cuestión que apenas ha sido abordada, y que por ello es poco conocida.
