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.
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...
評分又懒得开电脑写公众号了(常年如此),在这里整理一下第一天读修昔底德《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》的读书笔记。作为两千多年前的历史学家,修昔底德的记录、见识和方法在今天仍有强大的生命力。而“修昔底德陷阱”这个词今年因全球局势动态再度流行就是一个例证。 以下即使带引号的也...

評分有些艰难的读完了《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》,对着《政治学说史》看了看。感觉后者有一个很重要的问题没有提及。即修昔底德对民主政治的描述,《政治学说史》中鲍罗廷提到修昔底德对民主政治的态度时只列举了民主政治在组织米诺斯的大屠杀中的作用。然而,在我看来,修昔底德主要表...
評分挺好的,看著不睏,這應該是我的最高評價瞭!
评分精彩!!陽光底下木有啥新鮮事,,,曆史總是一再的被遺忘和重復。。。。。
评分驅使著人類社會的是欲望,恐懼和自我利益。全文寫作形式多為narrative和speech,唯獨melian dialogue采用瞭頗戲劇手法的dialogue。realpolitik流派鼻祖。值得後讀。
评分比希羅多德來得踏實 但是少瞭趣味。。
评分通報一聲,讀完啦!可以讀吉本瞭。
