Audace, modération et guerre: dans la guerre du Péloponnèse de Thucydide
With this rather long article, Mathieu Gonzalez stresses the importance for social sciences to consider ancient texts, following Strauss and Nietzsche. He explores Thucydide’s notions of “modération” and “audace”, both developed in his famous History of the Peloponnesian War as a central tools for the understanding of political actions, successes or failures. Gonzalez’s main aim is to reveal a certain kind of explanation precedent to the one which shapes the social and political sciences as we know them today. His thorough analysis reveals a pertinent system of understanding whose dynamic structure challenges the static and problem-centered explanation characteristic of nowadays political science. In other words, the irresistible ascent of the logos may well have done some harm, and should not put aside more ancient and fluid ways of understanding.Dans ce long article, Mathieu Gonzalez entend insister sur l’importance en sciences politiques de ne pas déconsidérer certains textes anciens. En cela lecteur de Strauss et de Nietzsche, il insiste sur la pertinence de l’analyse que Thucydide donne des concepts de modération et d’audace dans sa « Guerre du Péloponnèse ». L’enjeu est original : en examinant un texte antérieur à la naissance et donc à la spécialisation des sciences sociales, on est amené à dépasser la simple définition statique contemporaine de ces deux notions, pour acter de leur dimension actantielle, dynamique. Mr. Gonzalez réussit, en décryptant ce récit politique emblématique qui précède historiquement l’arrivée irrésistible du logos, non seulement à montrer l’existence d’une logique d’analyse différente de la notre, mais aussi à en illuminer le principal mérite: à défaut d’être formalisée dans un cadre spécifique, l’analyse – car c’en est une – y gagne en dynamisme
