- 摘要: Famous both as an analysis of power politics and as a classic of political realism, Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War is the earliest surviving realist text in the European tradition. From the opening speeches, Thucydides' Athenians emerge as a new and frightening source of power, oblivious to the rules and shared values under which the Greeks had operated for centuries. Gregory Crane shows how many of the assumptions that Thucydides attributed to his actors - and that seem commonplace to us today - boldly critique the operative assumptions of the archaic Greek elites. Crane's sophisticated claim for the continuing usefulness of the political examples of the classical past will appeal not only to classicists but to political scientists and anyone interested in the conflict between the exercise of political power and the preservation of human freedom and dignity.

Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War is the earliest surviving realist text in the European tradition. As an account of the Peloponnesian War, it is famous both as an analysis of power politics and as a classic of political realism. From the opening speeches, Thucydides' Athenians emerge as a new and frightening source of power, motivated by self-interest and oblivious to the rules and shared values under which the Greeks had operated for centuries. Gregory Crane demonstrates how Thucydides' history brilliantly analyzes both the power and the dramatic weaknesses of realist thought. The tragedy of Thucydides' history emerges from the ultimate failure of the Athenian project. The new morality of the imperialists proved as conflicted as the old; history shows that their values were unstable and self-destructive. Thucydides' history ends with the recounting of an intellectual stalemate that, a century later, motivated Plato's greatest work. Thucydides and the Ancient Simplicity includes a thought-provoking discussion questioning currently held ideas of political realism and its limits. Crane's sophisticated claim for the continuing usefulness of the political examples of the classical past will appeal to anyone interested in the conflict between the exercise of political power and the preservation of human freedom and dignity.
