Zustand: Gut. VIII., 216 Seiten / pages. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht verschmutzt Coverrückseite, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / slightly soiled back cover, otherwise perfect condition - This book is a fresh examination of Thucydides' treatment of Alcibiades in his History of the Peloponnesian War, Alcibiades' significance in the History, and his relation to Thucydides' political themes. It seeks to illuminate the ancient historian's position on such timeless political issues as the roots of imperialism, the nature and varieties of political ambition, and the effects of such ambition on political society. -- Steven Forde argues that Alcibiades deserves more attention than he has usually received as a focal point in Thucydides' thinking and writing. He shows that Alcibiades is the most ambiguous political figure in the History in terms of ordinary politics and morality, and that Thucydides' presentation of him is inextricably linked with many of the political themes fundamental to the work. Forde engages in some of the broader reflections he believes Thucydides intended to inspire in his readers, on such issues as the relation of human nature to politics and the grounding and status of the city. Throughout, he takes the position that apparent contradictions in Thucydides' narrative are deliberate, that the History taken as whole reveals its author's underlying unity of purpose. -- Addressing issues of ethics and leadership in a way few books on Thucydides have done, The Ambition to Rule will be of interest to political scientists, classicists, and historians. -- The Alcibidean Moment -- The Athenian Character and Athenian Imperialism -- Thucydides View of Athenian Imperialism -- The Parting of the Ways: Alcibiades and Athenian -- Retrenchment -- The Speeches of Alcibiades and Alcibiades Political Views -- Alcibiades and the Peace of Nicias -- Alcibiades First Speech -- Alcibiades Second Speech -- Book Eight of Thucydides History -- Alcibiades at Sparta -- Alcibiades and Phrynichus -- The Regime of the Four Hundred and the Internal Decay of the City -- The Return of Alcibiades -- Thucydides Alcibiades -- Alcibiades and the Rule of Honor -- The Universalism of Alcibiades -- The Universalism of Alcibiades and the Imperialism of the City -- The Honor and the Hubris of Alcibiades.
