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.
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.
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《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》第二卷第二章,叙述了战争刚刚开始的情况。当时双方尚未正式接战,斯巴达人和盟友们陈兵于科林斯地峡,派了一个叫米利西佩斯的人前往雅典,探寻对方在大兵压境的逼迫下是否有和谈的意愿。米利西佩斯来到雅典城外,见到了雅典的市民和官员,却被禁止进城。...

评分法律保护被压迫者,伯里克利演说中提到;书中经常写:某某的儿子某某,非常神奇,可能跟中国的古人一样,对于祖先对于家族,他们也是心存虔敬的。 看这本书的过程中,我开始理解《指环王》中很多我以前不能理解的东西。在古代的世界里,有居住在海上的人民,有居住在平原...
最爱Thucydides!虽然原文很折磨人,但是译本看起来真是爽!感觉是2500年前的后现代主义作家,哈哈哈~
评分没完全看完,有点难懂
评分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。
评分读了差不多大部分 又是一本不能只读一遍的书。。。
评分通报一声,读完啦!可以读吉本了。
