Opis

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.

Recenzje

"The volume provides a service to the field by supplying an impetus to reconsider the relationships historical agents had with the past, as well as a framework within which to reflect on how and why historical agents externalised memory and thereby extended their cognition into the world... This is an innovative body of scholarship that will surely profit discussions related to memory and prospection in Classics and related fields." - The Classical Review
