Excerpt from Della Storiografia e della Filosofia della Storia Presso I Greci: Prolusione al Corso di Storia Antica, Letta nella R. Università di Pisa, IL Giorno 11 Gennaio 1889
E del futuro libro, più che una parte od un capitolo, il pre sente discorso sarebbe un frammento, che nondimeno io dò alle stampe, avendo sopratutto di mira il vantaggio dei miei alunni, e nella speranza, di dire cose o non del tutto e generalmente note, od anche, in parte, non ancora svolte e trattate.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of Greek historiography from the time of Thucydides to the work of Polybius and his followers. The author explores how historians, politicians, and Greek philosophers conceived ideas that would later be developed by modern thinkers into a philosophy of history. The author shows how Greek historians such as Thucydides strove for truth and objectivity in their work, while later historians such as Theopompus and Timaeus prioritized rhetorical flourishes and sensationalism over accuracy. The author also discusses how Greek thinkers such as Plato and Aristotle developed theories on the cyclical nature of history and the influence of the environment on human societies, ideas that would be echoed by later philosophers such as Vico and Montesquieu. This book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the origins and evolution of historical thought in ancient Greece.
