The project aims to investigate how Classical texts were used to critique traditional Greco-Roman forms of predicting the future. It will show that future thinking is critical to the function of politics and religion in society, especially in times of sustained uncertainty. The project’s outcomes include a greater appreciation of the strategies Late-Antique thinkers used to confront and exploit Classical thought, the lasting impact uncertainty may have on modes of future knowledge, and the intellectual developments of Late Antiquity. The project will benefit Australian culture by offering a clearer grasp of how humans construct, manipulate, and make use of future thinking when the world undergoes significant political and social flux.

该项目旨在研究古典文本是如何被用来批评传统的希腊罗马形式的预测未来。它将表明，未来的思考是至关重要的政治和宗教在社会中的功能，特别是在持续的不确定性的时代。该项目的成果包括对古代晚期思想家用来对抗和利用古典思想的策略的更高评价，不确定性可能对未来知识模式的持久影响，以及古代晚期的智力发展。该项目将使澳大利亚文化受益，使人们更清楚地了解当世界经历重大的政治和社会变革时，人类如何构建、操纵和利用未来思维。
