Summary/Abstract: The presented work is an attempt to look at Thucydides’s History of the Pelo¬ponnesian War from a very special point of view — from the perspective of a so¬ciologist of literature. Such a monograph can be imagined in several ways. In the variant proposed here, it tries to be, on the one hand, a sociological (not military, but indeed a sociological) reconstruction of a model of the internally and exter¬nally conflicted world of Greek polis, just as it is presented along with its prob¬lems by the Athenian historian, and on the other hand, a very personal study of the reading of Thucydides’ work. The combination of both tasks compels the au¬thor to create an amalgam of an analysis, interpretation, quasi-guide to the His¬tory of the Peloponnesian War and essay (but in an academic, non-literary sense). The author also intends this work to indicate the contexts in which Thucydides’s work can be interpreted in a broader way since for the sociologist of literature it is a bit different than from that of a historian, political scientist, political philoso¬pher or specialist in the theory of international political relations.
