Theory of Relation-Balancing-Historical Interpretation of Mediterranean Area-History is no different with time. It is more significant as historical research comesfrom human recognition of time flow. Clear standard to distinguish certain period, time as
cognitive concept, and civilizational chronosystem lead to various kind of understanding
toward history. Human history have been recorded in periodical space that has activatedwith different cycle. Time might have existed in our relative cognition, but it has playeda major role, leading an establishment and transformation of relations. We also havecommonly understood the means and ends of time through change in relationship ofgroup members, or that in nature, which resulted considering time as living thing.
History is also a continuity of unstable situations, pursuing 'the ultimate balance'. As
spacial change is inevitable with time flows, nature has replaced coexisting balancing
with their new status of balance through balance-orienting tendency. It seems clear
enough for us to call it is feature of time that has shown through recognition of history.
Human life are no different, as we keep find new balance through the act of change,
like any other organisms living current space.
Historical interpretation reaches different conclusion depending time recognition, while
history is rather trace that has carved various layers of time. The main reason lies insubjective recognition of time depending on independence of interpretation. History keeps
itself from the fact it has recorded once it has interpreted. These complicated concept
can be summarized one sentence that : history and its interpretation are different, and it
is inevitable for subjective and personal standard to intervene during the process ofinterpretation. Such above, it is clear that discordance between history and interpretation
comes from subjectiveness of independence, but we have to be clear in the point that
more fundamental reason of such feature is rooted in time-recognition. Every civilization
has their own time-recognition, which was crucial to form their identity.
Recognition toward time in field of history research can be distinguished into two,
which are 'straight time-recognition' and 'circular time-recognition'. It should be clarified
that they are not prove for actual time-flow but rather human subjectivity to space thatare established from time. And these fact makes natural for us to not knowing specificdirection that times flows toward, even though they do not exist as totally separatebeing. Time flows leaving circular trace in macro-perspective, but seems straight when it
comes to micro-perspective. In other words, distinguish of forms that time flows - either
straight or circular' is only difference between two perspectives to examine time, andrather, lies on complementary relationship. (See figure 1.)
Nothing is impossible in history. History is composed of majority of organic relations
but still has feature of simultaneity at the same time. Such elements let the history has
its significance of unpredictability and irregularity. We only can clearly see, however, thatcertain aspects history has emphasized depending on time recognition and interpretation.

It seems rationale that history research sets its ultimate purpose and suggests direction
for it. We could see historical interpretation with certain logic can be improved inperspective of periodical validity. Properness between history-interpretation method anddirectivity of contemporary civilization in terms of coexisting-paradigm would be the casein detail. It is cautious question adapting historical interpretation into current atmosphere,
where western-centrism has occupied dominant status since its formation in 18th century.
And it is especially true since global society with multi-racial, multi-cultural, andmulti-religious civilization lies on foundation of geographically and culturally coexistingcivilization. This paper, and author, takes skeptical perspective to regard western-centrism
as proper interpretation-method in current period, when international civilizations form
singular paradigm of coexistence. It would be more frankly to say, that western-centrism
is especially incomplete by itself with their attachment to straight-time recognition
considering its relationship between time recognition and historical interpretation. Such iscommon limit of micro-perspective history research, which can be supplemented withconsideration of micro-perspective of civilizational exchange and historical interpretation
within it. This presentation aims to examine two representative time-recognition methods;
1)Straight-recognition 2)Circular-recognition, and their role as complementary factors intheory of relationship-balance.
