Abstract:
|
This paper considers the possibility of a more complex relationship between justice and self-interest in Thucydides, which are usually thought to comprise an anithetical pair. I consider some of the arguments for the self-interest of morality in Thucydides and argue that they may themselves be moral arguments. |
