Influence

Toynbee's ideas have not perhaps proved of great influence on other historians; his overall theory certainly was taken up by some, for example, Robert Curtius, as a sort of paradigm in the post-war period.The ideas Toynbee promoted enjoyed some vogue (he appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in 1947). Toynbee was probably most influential in relation to Asian thinkers. A few of his terms, such as successor state, and to a lesser extent external proletariat, are found in the work of other authors.
