Thucydides Filmography

The War That Never Ends
1991, role: writer

Famous quotes by Thucydides:

"Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war."

"We (Greeks) are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness"

"The fact is that one side thinks that the profits to be won outweigh the risks to be incurred, and the other side would rather avoid danger than accept an immediate loss."

"Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them."

"It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men."

"The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought"

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured"

"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."

"The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage."

"We Greeks are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness."

"Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior."

"Wars spring from unseen and generally insignificant causes, the first outbreak being often but an explosion of anger."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought."

"Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved."

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured."

"The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage."

"History is Philosophy teaching by example."

"We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them."

In the Company of Scholars: "How to Write a War: Thucydides and the Literature of WWI"

Order: Reorder
Duration: 63:49
Updated: 23 Jan 2015

In the Company of Scholars Lecture Series: "How to Write a War: Thucydides and the Literature of the First World War" 'From Homeric epic the ancient Greek historian Thucydides inherited the construct of a ‘great’ war as simultaneously a theatre for glorious action and the source of tragic loss and devastation. In the context of the centenary of the First World War of 1914-1918, Emily Greenwood will compare Thucydides’ idea of the ‘great’ war with the figure of the ‘great’ war in British prose fiction and memoirs of the First World War. In his account of The War of the Athenians and the Peloponnesians (fought intermittently between 431 and 404 BCE), Thucydides produced a complex intellectual and emotional critique of the idea of a ‘great’ war and in the process established a series of narrative devices and tropes for writing war that recur in so-called ‘disillusioned’ British memoirs and novels about the First World War. In their preoccupation with the truth about the war as lived experience, these novels and memoirs make a passionate, rhetorical argument for the urgency of fiction in interpreting and understanding the past and pose enduring questions both about the narratability of war and the veridicality of fiction. These same questions underlie Thucydides’ history of another ‘great’ war.'

Многие наивно полагают, что Selenium/WebDriver является инструментом для автоматизации тестирования. В действительности, он только помогает автоматизировать работу с браузером. А хороший инструмент тестирования должен иметь отчеты, настройки, работу с данными и многое другое. Поэтому все начинают строить свои «фреймворки» на базе Selenium/WebDriver. Это достаточно непростая задача. Ведь нужно продумать гибкую архитектуру, позаботиться о простоте написания и поддержки тестов, решить вопрос отчетов и хранения данных. Тут очень легко ошибиться, особенно с ограниченными знаниями языков программирования. Проще взять существующее решение с готовой архитектурой и строить свой фреймворк на его базе.

Cornelius Castoriadis (March 11, 1922 – December 26, 1997) was a Greek philosopher, social critic, economist, psychoanalyst and author. Castoriadis has influenced European (especially continental) thought in important ways. His interventions in sociological and political theory have resulted in some of the most well-known writing to emerge from the continent. Hans Joas published a number of articles in American journals in order to highlight the importance of Castoriadis' work to a North American sociological audience, and Johann P. Arnason has been of enduring importance both for his critical engagement with Castoriadis' thought and for his sustained efforts to introduce it to the English speaking public (especially during his editorship of the journal Thesis Eleven). In the last few years, there has been growing interest in Castoriadis’s thought, including the publication of two monographs authored by Arnason's former students: Jeff Klooger's Castoriadis: Psyche, Society, Autonomy (Brill), and Suzi Adams's Castoriadis's Ontology: Being and Creation (Fordham University Press). Castoriadis' work will be remembered for its remarkable continuity and coherence as well as for its extraordinary breadth which was "encyclopaedic" in the original Greek sense, for it offered us a "paideia," or education, that brought full circle our cycle of otherwise compartmentalized knowledge in the arts and sciences. Castoriadis wrote essays on mathematics, physics, biology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, linguistics, society, economics, politics, philosophy, and art. One of Castoriadis' many important contributions to social theory was the idea that social change involves radical discontinuities that cannot be understood in terms of any determinate causes or presented as a sequence of events. Change emerges through the social imaginary without determinations, but in order to be socially recognized must be instituted as revolution. Any knowledge of society and social change “can exist only by referring to, or by positing, singular entities…which figure and presentify social imaginary significations.” Castoriadis used traditional terms as much as possible, though consistently redefining them. Further, some of his terminology changed throughout the later part of his career, with the terms gaining greater consistency but breaking from their traditional meaning (neologisms). When reading Castoriadis, it is helpful to understand what he means by the terms he uses, since he does not redefine the terms in every piece where he employs them. Castoriadis views the political organization of the ancient Greek city states as an example of an autonomous society. He argues that their direct democracy was not based, as many assume, in the existence of slaves and/or the geography of Greece, which forced the creation of small city states, since many other societies had these preconditions but did not create democratic systems. Same goes for colonisation since the neighbouring Phoenicians, who had a similar expansion in the Mediterranean, were monarchical till their end. During this time of colonisation however, around the time of Homer's Epic poems, we observe for the first time that the Greeks instead of transferring their mother city's social system to the newly established colony, they, for the first time in known history, legislate anew from the ground up. What also made the Greeks special was the fact that, following above, they kept this system as a perpetual autonomy which led to direct democracy. This phenomenon of autonomy is again present in the emergence of the states of northern Italy during the Renaissance, again as a product of small independent merchants. Key concepts in Castoriadis' thought are autonomy and heteronomy, the imaginary, and chaos. Translations of works by Castoriadis include • The Imaginary Institution of Society [IIS] (trans. Kathleen Blamey), MIT Press, Cambridge 1997 [1987]. 432 pp. ISBN 0-262-53155-0 (pb.) • The Castoriadis Reader (ed./trans.

Download Here: http://tinyurl.com/o4hy97w Thucydides' classic work on the history of the Peloponnesian War is the root of Western conceptions of history—including the idea that Western history is the foundation of everyone else's. Here, Marshall Sahlins takes on Thucydides and the conceptions of history he wrought with a groundbreaking new book that shows what a difference an anthropological concept of culture can make to the writing of history.Sahlins begins by confronting Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War with an analogous "Polynesian War," the fight for the domination of the Fiji Islands (1843-55) between a great sea power (like Athens) and a great land power (like Sparta). Sahlins draws parallels between the conflicts with an eye to their respective systems of power and sovereignty as well as to Thucydides' alternation between individual (Pericles, Themistocles) and collective (the Athenians, the Spartans) actors in the making of history. Characteristic of most histories ever written, this alternation between the agency of "Great Men" and collective entities leads Sahlins to a series of incisive analyses ranging in subject matter from Bobby Thomson's "shot heard round the world" for the 1951 Giants to the history-making of Napoleon and certain divine kings to the brouhaha over Elián Gonzalez. Finally, again departing from Thucydides, Sahlins considers the relationship between cultural order and historical contingency through the recounting of a certain royal assassination that changed the course of Fijian history, a story of fratricide and war worthy of Shakespeare.In this most convincing presentation yet of his influential theory of culture, Sahlins experiments with techniques for mixing rich narrative with cultural explication in the hope of doing justice at once to the actions of persons and the customs of people. And he demonstrates the necessity of taking culture into account in the creation of history—with apologies to Thucydides, who too often did not.

Stories from Thucydides

The History of the Peloponnesian War

Famous quotes by Thucydides:

"Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war."

"We (Greeks) are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness"

"The fact is that one side thinks that the profits to be won outweigh the risks to be incurred, and the other side would rather avoid danger than accept an immediate loss."

"Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them."

"It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men."

"The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought"

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured"

"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."

"The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage."

"We Greeks are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness."

"Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior."

"Wars spring from unseen and generally insignificant causes, the first outbreak being often but an explosion of anger."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought."

"Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved."

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured."

"The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage."

"History is Philosophy teaching by example."

"We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them."
