Aspective et perspective dans la pensée égyptienne de l’histoire

Abstract

Aspective and perspective represent two conceptions of the world which at first sight seem incompatible, particularly where the passage of time is concerned : aspective and its predetermination would seem to preclude the very idea of history and chronology with the random events which mark their course. However, despite such a contradiction, it will be shown in this article how Egyptian thought combined and superimposed them together to lead to a great consciousness of History in which the individual, with his own subjective point of view, enjoyed a degree of freedom much more important that is generally admitted.
