書籍簡介

唐納德·卡根 (Donald Kagan) 廣受讚譽的四卷伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史的第一卷根據現代學術提供的證據和對古代文本的仔細重新考慮，對衝突的起源和原因進行了新的評估。 他的研究重點是這樣一個問題：戰爭是不可避免的，還是可以避免的？ 卡根對修昔底德的觀點提出異議，即戰爭是不可避免的，雅典帝國在一個存在敵對力量的世界中的崛起使得兩者之間的衝突是肯定的。 相反，卡根斷言戰爭的起源“不能在不嚴重歪曲的情況下與所涉國家的內部歷史分開處理”，他追溯了國內政治和外交事務之間的聯繫。 他進一步檢查了證據，以瞭解導致戰爭的決定是什麼，在每一點上都詢問是否有可能做出不同的決定。

The first volume of Donald Kagan's acclaimed four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War offers a new evaluation of the origins and causes of the conflict, based on evidence produced by modern scholarship and on a careful reconsideration of the ancient texts. He focuses his study on the question: Was the war inevitable, or could it have been avoided?Kagan takes issue with Thucydides' view that the war was inevitable, that the rise of the Athenian Empire in a world with an existing rival power made a clash between the two a certainty. Asserting instead that the origin of the war "cannot, without serious distortion, be treated in isolation from the internal history of the states involved," Kagan traces the connections between domestic politics, constitutional organization, and foreign affairs. He further examines the evidence to see what decisions were made that led to war, at each point asking whether a different decision would have been possible.
