Plutarch and the End of History

Dillon, J. (1997) “Plutarch and the End of History.” In Plutarch and His Intellectual World ed. J. Mossman, 235-40. Swansea.

Excerpt:
This essay is provoked, as its title implies, by a reading of Francis Fukuyama’s recent controversial work,The End of History. It was also stimulated by my attendance at the June 1993 conference of the International Plutarch Society in Siena, on the topic of ‘Plutarch on the Theory and Practice of History’, a subject on which I did not really think I had very much to say, but which turned out in the event to call forth various reflections.
