Thucydides on Politics. Back to the Present. - HAWTHORN, G.,
KORTE INHOUD
'This magnificent book on the history of the most célèbre of all wars makes us love Thucydides' poetic passion for his subject and the 'purity' of his style. Politics is the protagonist of Geoffrey Hawthorn's narrative: Thucydides' vision of politics as a panoply of propelling forces, the reasons and accounts people give of them, their analysis, reflection, calculation and debate; and politics as a way of making things happen that is more likely than not to be agonistic and is unlikely to be truthful or simply reasonable in one straightforward way.' (NADIA URBINATI, Columbia University).
