要理解当今的西方社会,最深刻的途径莫过于追溯他们的宗教和思想传统、政治体系、经济和社会结构是如何形成和演变的。让读者通过了解西方文明的过去而理解当下,正是杰克逊·J.斯皮瓦格尔写作《西方文明简史》的主旨。为了更好地实现这一点,展现一幅充满趣味性和启发性的历史画卷,斯皮瓦格尔兼顾了内容的简明均衡、叙述的生动易读和线索的明晰连贯。《西方文明简史》在美国高等院校广受欢迎,从常春藤大学到两年制专业技术学校,大量学生都以此作为他们的西方文明史教科书。

Sheryl2019-04-28When, therefore, we maintain that pleasure is the end, we do not mean the pleasures of profligates and those that consist in sensuality, as is supposed by some who are either ignorant or disagree with us or do not understand, but freedom from pain in the body and from trouble in the mind. For it is not continuous drinkings and revellings, nor the satisfaction of lusts, nor the enjoyment of fish and other luxuries of the wealthy table, which produce a pleasant life, but sober reasoning, seaching out the motives for all choice and avoidance, and banishing mere opinions, to which are due the greatest disturbance of the spirit.

Sheryl2019-03-21States might inquire whether they should undertake a military expedition...Responses were often enigmatic and at times even politically motivated. Croesus, the king of Lydia in Asia Minor, who was known for his vast wealth, sent messengers to the oracle at Delphi, asking whether he should go to war with the Persians. The oracle replied that if Croesus attacked the Persians, a mighty empire would be destroyed. Overjoyed to hear these words, Croesus made war on the Persians but was crushed by the enemy forces. A mighty empire was indeed destroyed—his own.

Sheryl2019-03-15Unlike Herodotus, Thucydides was not concerned with divine forces or gods as causal factors in history. He saw war and politics in purely rational terms, as the activities of human beings. He examined the causes of the Peloponnesian War in a clear and objective fashion, placing much emphasis on the accuracy of his facts. As he stated:And with regard to my factual reporting of the events of the war I have made it a principle not to write down the first story that came my way, and not even to be guided by my own general impressions; either I was present myself at the events which I have described or else I heard of them from eyewitnesses whose reports I have checked with as much thoroughness as possible.
