In the article the issue of transition from concrete historical to metahistorical knowledge is viewed via example of Polibius’s historical work. There is also put forth the question of possible mutual connect between Polibius’s ideological backgrounds and the ones of European historiosophy creators – Voltaire and J.-G. Goerder. The conclusions are significant for general history methodology.
