Abstract
This article addresses the limited attention the concept of historical thinking has received in professional historiography, particularly amid the current crisis of the modern regime of historicity. It aims to define historical thinking by examining recent developments in global historiography and historical theory. The text is structured into three sections: the first summarizes postcolonial critiques of modern historiography, the second explores premodern conceptualizations of historical thought beyond the Global North, and the third discusses global reapproaches to historiography. The article concludes by suggesting that conceptual history provides essential tools for developing a multilingual and transnational understanding of global historical thought, thereby expanding the boundaries of historiographical research beyond Western-centric frameworks.
