The genre thus founded, drawing social conclusions, identified itself as "civil history", and was influenced particularly by Polybius.[112] The Methodus has been called the first book to advance "a theory of universal history based on a purely secular study of the growth of civilisation".[113] Bodin's secular attitude to history therefore goes some way to explain his perceived relationship to Machiavelli.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7836.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7836.txt
