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.
驱使着人类社会的是欲望,恐惧和自我利益。全文写作形式多为narrative和speech,唯独melian dialogue采用了颇戏剧手法的dialogue。realpolitik流派鼻祖。值得后读。
评分后人哀之而不鉴之
评分这个真的好看。Thucydides比Herodutus好到不知道哪里去了。
评分如果不提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...

在大学第一学期的《外交学概论》课上,老师说学这个你们读好三本书就行了,修昔底德的《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》,汉斯摩根索的《国家间政治》和肯尼斯沃尔斯的《人、国家与战争》。当时不知所然,也没想过找来读读。直到今天才算都翻过了,还不敢说读过。 而真正激发我读...
评分 评分看到第七卷。西西里远征。倾尽整个帝国力量的远征军全军覆灭。 撤退的时候,描写跟着军队被撤走的士兵看到被遗弃的活人,“全军上下泪水涟涟”。我不禁也是泫然欲泣了。——看历史的时候,我总是难以像平常那样产生共情的,毕竟两千多年前的事件,如果没有修昔底德或者其他史家...
评分正义和利益,这是一对永恒的矛盾。行正义是否一定带来利益?当然不是,而且,恰恰相反,正义往往带来不利——这样的话,为什么还要行正义呢?有没有独立于任何利益的绝对的正义?这本是个哲学问题,却经由一位“历史学家”得到了极为深刻的阐述——修希底德在记叙伯罗奔尼撒战...
评分十多年前译者在接到翻译西方学术名著《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》的任务时,心里确实有些忐忑不安,今天的心情依然如此。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。我们自知学力不济,难以胜任。自己对于希腊的历史和文化,充其量只能算是个初学者。虽然近30 年...
