Abstract

Rad se bavi istraživanjem Tukididove Povijesti Peloponeskog rata i načina na koji je Hobbes interpretira. Prijevod Tukididove Povijesti prvo je objavljeno Hobbesovo djelo te istodobno prvi prijevod Povijesti izravno s grčkog na engleski jezik. Pretpostavlja se da je čitanje Povijesti ostavilo utjecaj na Hobbesa koji seže znatno dalje od puke želje da je prevede, stoga se u radu traži odgovor na sljedeće pitanje: može li se govoriti o Hobbesovoj kritici demokratskog imperijalizma kao utemeljenoj na njegovom specifičnom razumijevanju Tukididovog stava spram atenskog imperijalizma? U svrhu iznalaženja odgovora na navedeno pitanje, čita se Tukididova kritika atenskog imperijalizma preko Hobbesa i Hobbesova kritika demokratskog imperijalizma preko Tukidida. Kad je riječ o Hobbesu, provodi se i kontekstualna i tekstualna analiza. Pokazuje se da je način na koji je atenski imperijalizam prikazan u Povijesti od strane Tukidida konzistentan s Hobbesovom kritikom demokratskog imperijalizma koju iznosi u različitim dodatcima koje umeće u svoj prijevod Povijesti, kao i pri formuliranju svoje znanosti o politici u kasnijim radovima. Hobbes se razotkriva kao teoretičar umjerenosti i mira.

Abstract (english)

The paper explores Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War and the manner in which Hobbes interprets it. The translation of Thucydides’ History was Hobbes’ first published work and also first translation of History made directly from Greek to English. It is presupposed that History influenced Hobbes in a way which surpasses the mere desire to translate it, therefore the paper seeks to answer the following question: can we speak of Hobbes’ critique of democratic imperialism as the one founded on his specific understanding of Thucydides’ judgement of Athenian imperialism? In order to find the response to the proposed question, Thucydides’ critique of Athenian imperialism is read through Hobbes and Hobbes’ critique of democratic imperialism is read through Thucydides. When it comes to Hobbes, both contextual and textual analyses are carried out. It is discovered that the fashion in which Athenian imperialism in presented in History by Thucydides is consistent with Hobbes’ critique of democratic imperialism found in different materials he adds to his translation of History, as well as with one based on his science of politics formulated in his later works. Hobbes is revealed as a philosopher of moderation and peace.
