Everyone with an interest in ancient history should read this book. It clearly illustrates how research practice in ancient history differs from that of modern history. A good antidote for naive realists who believe that historians always discover the past 'as it really was'. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In this thoughtful and provocative study, M.I. Finley challenges the prevailing traditions of researching and writing about ancient civilizations. He questions, for example, the special status accorded to classic texts, exposes the false assumptions historians have made based on severely limited information, and presents the flaws inherent in conventional explanations of the Greek city-state. Emphasizing the need to ask the right questions in order to expand our understanding of life in the ancient world, the author suggests how historians might better deal with the evidence that is available, and offers alternative methods that can be used to reconstruct history.
