A monumental work unsurpassed for its brilliant description, accuracy, and penetrating insights, Thucydides ’ History of the Peloponnesian War is a spectacular eyewitness report of the war between Greece’s two most powerful city-states, Athens and Sparta, as it unfolded during the fifth century B.C.
The first recorded political and moral analysis of a nation’s war policies, the History is a tragic story of virtue, ambition, and failed deterrence. All aspects of the conflict—from the battlefield strategies and the political landscape to the peoples’ thoughts and feelings as the long war dragged on—are presented in startlingly vivid detail.
From the treachery of Alcibiades and the disastrous invasion of Sicily to the plague that devastated Athens and Pericles’ famous funeral oration, Thucydides has written more than a mere account of war. His History is nothing less than a classic Greek drama about the rise and fall of Athens. More than two thousand years have passed since the History was written, but its impact on modern politics, military strategy, and foreign relations has been timeless.

正義和利益,這是一對永恒的矛盾。行正義是否一定帶來利益?當然不是,而且,恰恰相反,正義往往帶來不利——這樣的話,為什麼還要行正義呢?有沒有獨立於任何利益的絕對的正義?這本是個哲學問題,卻經由一位“曆史學傢”得到瞭極為深刻的闡述——修希底德在記敘伯羅奔尼撒戰...
評分導言: “如果那些想要清楚地瞭解過去所發生的事件和將來也會發生的類似的事件(因為人性總是人性)的人,認為我的著作還有一點用處的話,我就心滿意足瞭。我的著作不是隻想迎閤群眾一時的嗜好,而是想垂諸永遠的”(20頁) “修昔底德陷阱”( Thucydides Trap),是美國學者阿裏森提齣...
評分看到第七捲。西西裏遠徵。傾盡整個帝國力量的遠徵軍全軍覆滅。 撤退的時候,描寫跟著軍隊被撤走的士兵看到被遺棄的活人,“全軍上下淚水漣漣”。我不禁也是泫然欲泣瞭。——看曆史的時候,我總是難以像平常那樣産生共情的,畢竟兩韆多年前的事件,如果沒有修昔底德或者其他史傢...

評分又懶得開電腦寫公眾號瞭(常年如此),在這裏整理一下第一天讀修昔底德《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》的讀書筆記。作為兩韆多年前的曆史學傢,修昔底德的記錄、見識和方法在今天仍有強大的生命力。而“修昔底德陷阱”這個詞今年因全球局勢動態再度流行就是一個例證。 以下即使帶引號的也...
