The distinction between ancient and modern modes of historical
thought is characterized by the growing complexity of the
discipline of history in modernity. Consequently, the
epistemological and methodological standard of ancient
historiography is typically held as inferior against the modern
ideal. This book serves to address this apparent deficit. Its scope
is three-fold. Firstly, it aims at encountering ancient modes of
historical and historiographical thought within the province of
their own horizon. Secondly, this book considers the possibility of
a dialogue between ancient and modern philosophies of history
concerning the influence of ancient historical thought on the
development of modern philosophy of history and the utility of
modern philosophy of history in the interpretation of ancient
historiography. Thirdly, this book explores the continuities and
discontinuities in historical method and thought from antiquity to
modernity. Ultimately, this volume demonstrates the necessity of
re-evaluating our assumptions about the relation of ancient and
modern historical thought and lays the groundwork for a more
fruitful dialogue in the future.
