Future Thinking in Roman Culture is the first volume dedicated to
the exploration of prospective memory and future thinking in the
Roman world, integrating cutting edge research in cognitive
sciences and theory with approaches to historiography, epigraphy,
and material culture. This volume opens a new avenue of
investigation for Roman memory studies in presenting multiple case
studies of memory and commemoration as future-thinking phenomena.
It breaks new ground by bringing classical studies into direct
dialogue with recent research on cognitive processes of future
thinking. The thematically linked but methodologically diverse
contributions, all by leading scholars who have published
significant work in memory studies of antiquity, both cultural and
cognitive, make the volume well suited for classical studies
scholars and students seeking to explore cognitive science and
philosophy of mind in ancient contexts, with special appeal to
those sharing the growing interest in investigating Roman
conceptions of futurity and time. The chapters all deliberately
coalesce around the central theme of prospection and future
thinking and their impact on our understanding of Roman ritual and
religion, politics, and individual motivation and intention. This
volume will be an invaluable resource to undergraduate and
postgraduate students of classics, art history, archaeology,
history, and religious studies, as well as scholars and students of
memory studies, historical and cultural cognitive studies,
psychology, and philosophy.
