| Resumo: | There is almost no work on ancient Egypt in Taiwan since historians are logically interested in ancient China. Egyptologists either work on archeology or study papyrus and written texts found in pyramids and tombs, without putting it in perspective with other civilizations, such as Greek civilization. Philippe Ariés’ global history offers innovative opportunities on the study of Egyptian mentalities. All traditional historical work aims to study an ancient society, a social class, but very few focuses on the individuals. The theses of Lucien Febvre, father of the notion of mentalities, allow the historical discipline to have access not only to the factual structures of societies but also to the mental structures of the individuals that compose it. This new approach raises a crucial question: What are Europe’s roots? Has the Egyptian heritage been underestimated? |
