The historian whose work dominates the halls of power to this day.
Why does war continue to be a teacher of violence? Would our world be different if we had listened to Thucydides? Does the thirst for power still cause the greatest disasters for humanity?
In this book – the fourth in line after Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle – we encounter Thucydides at the Public Sign of Kerameikos, the historian who saw the passions of people behind the events. With a breathtaking narrative, he shares with us the most shocking events of the Peloponnesian War and helps us understand why his work remains "a possession for all time."
THE ARROGANCE OF POWER, THE DARK FORCES OF THE SOUL, THE ASCENT AND THE CRUSHING, HUBRIS AND NEMESIS.
A discussion with the historian who philosophized like a tragic poet on the passions and weaknesses of human souls and sought the deeper causes of events with the insight of a true political thinker.
