Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling the author's ambitious claim that the work "was done to last forever." The conflicts between the two empires over shipping, trade, and colonial expansion came to a head in 431 b.c. in Northern Greece, and the entire Greek world was plunged into 27 years of war. Thucydides applied a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this exhaustively factual record of the disastrous conflict that eventually ended the Athenian empire.
Thucydides (c. 460 B.C. – c. 395 B.C.) (Greek Θουκυδίδης, Thoukydídēs) was a Greek historian and author of the History of the Peloponnesian War, which recounts the 5th century B.C. war between Sparta and Athens to the year 411 B.C. Thucydides has been dubbed the father of "scientific history" due to his strict standards of evidence-gathering and analysis in terms of cause and effect without reference to intervention by the gods, as outlined in his introduction to his work.
He has also been called the father of the school of political realism, which views the relations between nations as based on might rather than right. His classical text is still studied at advanced military colleges worldwide, and the Melian dialogue remains a seminal work of international relations theory.
More generally, Thucydides showed an interest in developing an understanding of human nature to explain behaviour in such crises as plague, genocide (as practised against the Melians), and civil war.
如果不提methodology光看narrative的话,我还是挺认同我校政治哲学教授Peter Steinberger说的那句话的:"Herodotus is a historian, and Thucydides is a political philosopher." 总觉得说教比Herodotus还多还死板,而且那些废话真千篇一律令人厌烦,虽然把现实主义的政治观体现得淋漓尽致但真的让我这个左逼越看越反感...

一个朋友,苦于儿子临睡前要听故事:不讲孩子不上床,讲了孩子又不叫停。“现在,我只好每晚给他读一段《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》。” 修昔底德会很欣慰的,他的著作竟有如此实际而温馨的功效。而一个成年读者,将发现来自伯罗奔尼撒的消息与现实生活的距离可以这么近。这种“近”...
评分 评分十八年前译者在接到翻译西学名著《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》的任务时,心里确实有些忐忑不安,十八年后的今天依然如此。古希腊文明博大精深,对于西方乃至全人类文明贡献巨大,影响深远。译者自知学力不济,难以胜任。因为自己对于希腊的历史和文化,充其量只能算是个初学者。虽然三...
评分(原载2012年4月号《文景》) 公元前431年,希腊世界爆发了一场规模空前的战争。战争在两大军事同盟之间展开,一边是以雅典为首的提洛同盟,另一边是以斯巴达为首的伯罗奔尼撒同盟。这两大军事同盟的历史至少要追溯到约半个世纪以前乃至更早。伯罗奔尼撒同盟是斯巴达在伯罗奔...
