Summary
Oto Luthar, Marjeta Šašelj Kos, Nada Grošelj, Gregor Pobežin: The Story of Historical Thought
From Homer to the beginning of the 21st century
The book in front of you is dedicated to the history of the idea of history. More precisely, the origin and development of interest in preserving the memory of people's life in the past, starting with ideas about the past life of the people of the Eastern Mediterranean and ending with the complex theory and philosophy of the historiography of their descendants in different parts of the world two thousand three hundred years later.
During that long period of time, we especially wanted to highlight the time and circumstances in which the understanding matured that historiography is not a matter of a "frozen mind that sticks to a boring routine" and turns the funny and wonderful in our lives into cold and "insensitive", but above all the result of the eternal tension between the past and the present. We were not only interested in the viewpoints of well-known authors, but also the views of some lesser-known and less recognized historians. That is why, in addition to Hecataeus, Herodotus and Thucydides... Ephorus, Cassius Dion, Veleus Paterculus, Suetonius Tranquillus were also found here... And that is why, in the overview of Byzantine historiography, in addition to Paul the Deacon and Princess Anna Comnina, we also dealt with Theophylact, Simocates and Kekavmen. Finally, precisely because of the message hidden in the aforementioned phrase from Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet, we did not stop at Hayden White, but continued with Jurgen Kok, Frank Ankersmit... It was they, namely, who especially clearly emphasized that historiography cannot have immediate practical goals, but rather is a science of the probable, and therefore rather a science more susceptible to manipulation. Especially when politics of any kind usurps the past.
