- | '''Social cycle theories''' are one of the earliest [[social theories]] in [[sociology]]. Unlike the theory of [[social evolutionism]], which views the [[evolution of society]] and [[human history]] as progressing in some new, unique direction(s), sociological cycle theory argues that events and stages of society and history are generally repeating themselves in cycles. Such a theory does not necessarily imply there cannot be any [[social progress]]. In the early theory of [[Ssu-Ma Ch'ien]], more recent theories of long-term ("secular") political-demographic cycles (e.g., [[Andrey Korotayev|Korotayev]], Malkov, Khaltourina 2006 and the [[Law of Social Cycle|Varnic theory]] of [[P.R. Sarkar]] an explicit accounting is made of social progress. | + | |
