摘　　要：This is an editor＇s introduction to the special topic： ＂Axial Break- through＂ in AncientGreece： New Considerations. In a time when the mere mention of any grand theory rouses suspicion, can anyone engaged in serious study on the origins of thought in ancient civilizations invoke against the notion of ＂axial breakthrough＂？ As a matter of fact, a recently published book entitled Between the Heavenly and the Human： An Essay on the Origins of Ancient Chinese Thought （2014; my English translation of the Chinese title）, authored by Professor Yu Ying-shih of Princeton University, goes to great lengths to reuse the Jasperian notion of ＂axial age＂ and ＂axial breakthrough＂ （as further developed by the sociologists Shmuel N. Eisenstadt and Robert N. Bellah）, precisely to present the ancient Chinese case in a comparative perspective （comparing mainly with ancient Greece）. This highly thought-provoking book served as an intellectual stimulus for the international workshop ＂Comparing ＇Axial Breakthrough＇ in Ancient Civilizations＂ held at the Department of History, Fudan University on 5th and 6th December, 2015, during which the presumptions, methodologies and outcomes for comparing ＂axial breakthrough＂ in a variety of ancient civilizations, including Greco-Roman antiquity, ancient Near East, India and China were re- examined.
