It reveals that Thucydides recognizes processes beyond human control but portrays the belief that people can influence history as an illusion, leading to significant consequences, such as the unexpected defeat of Athens in its conflict with Sparta. Thucydides' focus is on how people respond to historical events rather than presenting a chronological and value-free account. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 412 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 February 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vandenhoeck \u0026amp; Ruprecht GmbH \u0026amp; Co KG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book delves into the profound examination of the role of movement, as encapsulated in the Greek term κίνησις, in the historical events chronicled by Thucydides in his renowned historical work. It becomes evident that Thucydides possesses a profound understanding of processes that transcend human control. However, the individuals affected by these uncontrollable processes are often unaware of this reality, leading Thucydides to portray the notion that people can exert influence over the course of history as a deceptive illusion, with far-reaching consequences. Among the most significant outcomes of this belief was undoubtedly the unexpected defeat of the mighty Athens in its conflict with its formidable opponent, Sparta. Consequently, Thucydides' primary focus lies not in presenting historical events in a chronological and value-free manner, but rather in exploring how individuals respond to and navigate through historical events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book delves into the profound examination of the role of movement, as encapsulated in the Greek term κίνησις, in the historical events chronicled by Thucydides in his renowned historical work.
