摘要
My working hypothesis is that the phrase "Byzantium after Byzantium" has multiple meanings which can be revealed by a type of conceptual analysis. I have discovered five constitutive elements: firstly, Iorga wanted to express the paradoxical twinning of historical change and continuity; secondly, he agreed with the rise and fall model of the historical development; thirdly, he conceived the historical process at the level of largest entities, namely, the civilizations understood as complex societies; fourthly, he thought that religion could be a general framework for an explanation regarding the course of events; fifthly, Iorga searched for an explanation in terms of tradition.
