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.

有人说,一个国家在能够对外输出价值观之前不可能成为真正的大国。现代人往往赞叹雅典的民主政治与璀璨的文化,惋惜雅典为寡头政治下的斯巴达击败而未能将其光芒普及到全希腊。然而,真实的雅典帝国乃是建立于赤裸裸的暴力之上,关于这一点,无论是对内还是对外,坦率的雅典人...
評分古希腊的精神 ——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...
評分在大学第一学期的《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...

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

评分希臘人似乎認為,為自由而使用強力乃至暴力也都是公認的正義;為國傢的自由而抵 抗侵略當然是不言而喻的正義;這種正義甚至應該獲得一種普遍的法律形式,所以有所 謂“抵抗侵略者總是正當的這一條公認的法律”的意見。國傢的存在既然如上所述意味著所有或至少是大多數的自由公民的共同自由,意味著多數人的利益意願都是正義的。不僅是實行直接民主製、由多數人統治的雅典總是把全體人的利益視為正義。盡管後來柏拉圖等試圖從絕對的善來解釋、限定正義,但是在之前,希臘人在政治中仍然將利益作為要素引入正義範疇(雖然未經亞裏士多德式的細分)。希臘人在說服他人、他國時或為自己的行動進行辯解時,一般總是交替使用兩個尺度,即既說正義,又說利益所在,以 此為行動決策的兩大基本標準。
