In this collection of essays, scholars from a range of disciplines
explore the activity of knowing in late antiquity by focusing on
thirteen major concepts from the intellectual, social, political,
and cultural history of the period. They ask two questions about
each of these concepts: what did late ancient people know about
them, and how was that knowledge expressed in people's actions?
Late Ancient Knowing integrates intellectual history,
post-structuralist literary theory, and recent trends in cognitive
science to examine the ways that historical thought-worlds both
shaped individual lives and were in turn shaped by the actions of
individuals. Each chapter treats its main concept as a problem both
of knowledge and of practice or behavior. The result is a richly
imagined description of how people of this time understood and
navigated their world, from travel through the countryside and
encounters with demons to philosophical medicine and the etiquette
of imperial courts.
