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.

评分古希腊的精神 ——读《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》中的伯里克利演说词 “我不想作一篇冗长的演说来评述一些你们都很熟悉的问题:所以我不说我们用以取得我们的势力的一些军事行动,也不说我们父辈英勇地抵抗我们希腊内部的和外部敌人的战役。我所要说的,首先是讨论我们曾经受到考验...
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...
评分通报一声,读完啦!可以读吉本了。

评分这个真的好看。Thucydides比Herodutus好到不知道哪里去了。
