Abstract

Abstract: This paper looks at the way in which scholars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries conceptualized the relationship between sacred history and pagan mythology through the lens of their approach to the ancient Greek writer Euhemerus. It argues that the popular contemporary tendency to equate Euhemerism with the historical interpretation of pagan mythology is the product of early eighteenth century French mythography, during which time scholars divested the study of pagan myth from the study of biblical history and thereby sought for new, non-Christian, hermeneutical traditions through which to analyze the origins of pagan mythology more generally.

十七和十八世纪的尤默勒斯和尤默勒主义

摘要:本文通过对古希腊作家欧赫墨罗斯的研究，探讨了十七、十八世纪的学者们是如何概念化神圣历史与异教神话之间的关系的。它认为，当代流行的将尤亨默主义与异教神话的历史解释等同起来的趋势是18世纪早期法国神话学的产物，在此期间，学者们将异教神话的研究从圣经历史的研究中剥离出来，从而寻求新的、非基督教的解释学传统，通过这些传统来更普遍地分析异教神话的起源。

期刊介绍： Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
