Thucydides of Athens, one of the greatest of historians, was born about 471 BCE. He saw the rise of Athens to greatness under the inspired leadership of Pericles. In 430, the second year of the Peloponnesian War, he caught and survived the horrible plague which he described so graphically. Later, as general in 423 he failed to save Amphipolis from the enemy and was disgraced. He tells about this, not in volumes of self-justification, but in one sentence of his history of the war—that it befell him to be an exile for twenty years. He then lived probably on his property in Thrace, but was able to observe both sides in certain campaigns of the war, and returned to Athens after her defeat in 404. He had been composing his famous history, with its hopes and horrors, triumphs and disasters, in full detail from first-hand knowledge of his own and others.
The war was really three conflicts with one uncertain peace after the first; and Thucydides had not unified them into one account when death came sometime before 396. His history of the first conflict, 431–421, was nearly complete; Thucydides was still at work on this when the war spread to Sicily and into a conflict (415–413) likewise complete in his awful and brilliant record, though not fitted into the whole. His story of the final conflict of 413–404 breaks off (in the middle of a sentence) when dealing with the year 411. So his work was left unfinished and as a whole unrevised. Yet in brilliance of description and depth of insight this history has no superior.

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...
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...
评分其实拿这么一本严肃的书耍流氓真的不是我的本意……但是修昔底德实在是太给大家面子了。 OK,基佬和女流氓们,既然你们已经来了,请翻开《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》下本的第517页,也就是第六卷的第五章,从最后一段,也就是露着小鸡鸡的哈摩狄阿斯和阿里斯托斋吞的那副图片左下角开...
评分一本名气极大的书,我在两年前到上海出差时偶然看到,本书的印刷质量很好,装帧极佳,虽然标价68大元,昂贵的让人吐血,我还是咬咬牙买了回来。说实在的,两年来,我一直都没看完,而且看的部分也是生吞活剥,不求甚解,完全不能享受到读书的快乐。 也许是个人水平有限吧,我...
希腊人似乎认为,为自由而使用强力乃至暴力也都是公认的正义;为国家的自由而抵 抗侵略当然是不言而喻的正义;这种正义甚至应该获得一种普遍的法律形式,所以有所 谓“抵抗侵略者总是正当的这一条公认的法律”的意见。国家的存在既然如上所述意味着所有或至少是大多数的自由公民的共同自由,意味着多数人的利益意愿都是正义的。不仅是实行直接民主制、由多数人统治的雅典总是把全体人的利益视为正义。尽管后来柏拉图等试图从绝对的善来解释、限定正义,但是在之前,希腊人在政治中仍然将利益作为要素引入正义范畴(虽然未经亚里士多德式的细分)。希腊人在说服他人、他国时或为自己的行动进行辩解时,一般总是交替使用两个尺度,即既说正义,又说利益所在,以 此为行动决策的两大基本标准。
评分I say that our city as a whole is the school of Hellas. We live under a form of government which does not emulate the institutions of our neighbours; on the contrary, we are ourselves a model which some follow, rather than the imitators of other peoples.It is true that our government is called a democracy, because its administration is in the hands
