{"product_id":"thucydides-and-the-modern-world-9781107019201","title":"Thucydides and the Modern World","description":"The ancient Greek historian Thucydides has had an enormous impact on modern historiography, political theory, international relations and strategic studies, but before now this has not been thoroughly examined. This book brings together leading scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the different facets of Thucydides' modern reception and influence, from the birth of political theory in Renaissance Europe to the rise of scientific history in nineteenth-century Germany and the triumph of 'realism' in twentieth-century international relations theory. Its chapters consider the different national and disciplinary traditions of reading and citing Thucydides, but also highlight common themes and questions; in particular, the variety of images of the historian produced by his modern readers: the scientific historian or the artful rhetorician, the brilliant analyst of society and politics or the great narrator of political and military events, the man of experience and affairs or the man of contemplation and reflection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Harloe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107019201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarloe, Katherine:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Katherine Harloe is a lecturer in the Department of Classics at the University of Reading.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMorley, Neville:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Neville Morley is Professor of Ancient History in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Bristol.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44025251364979,"sku":"9.78111E+12","price":180.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_e76ffd55-86c4-4156-845f-323b88aa7c03.jpg?v=1761308676","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/thucydides-and-the-modern-world-9781107019201","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
