by Ren Junfeng
About This Novel
A character who lived 2,500 years ago, whose writings revolve around a war that took place 2,500 years ago. What is the connection between him and the war he wrote about and us? What inspiration can he provide to future generations, especially the Chinese people living in the 21st century? This book strives to work with readers to enter Thucydides' spiritual world and understand Thucydides' political teachings. Through the description of Thucydides' political world, it shows that ancient Greece is by no means an elementary stage in the history of human spirituality, but a spiritual peak that future generations cannot surpass. Thucydides' political history and Plato's political philosophy stand side by side. His thoughts on human political affairs are profound, euphemistic and penetrating.
