CLA 324 - Classical Historians and Their Philosophies of History

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

What philosophy of history belongs to Greek and Roman historians? How did the ancient historians themselves ask this question? Was their theory and practice as marked with change as has been European and American historiography since the 18th century? Finally, why has contemporary practice begun a turn back to classical narrative historiography? This course will cover major Greek and Roman historians, ancillary classical theory, and some pertinent contemporary philosophers of history.
