In this book, Thucydides' work is treated as a philosophical treatise with moral and political content, as a code of proper behavior in both individual and social activities, with the ultimate goal of individual and social happiness, because these two are inseparable, as Thucydides teaches.
With a central theme core of war in general and specifically the Peloponnesian or Athenian war, Thucydides expands to the periphery of the circle of his work all the concepts surrounding it. Beyond the chronological recording of events, he penetrates the depths of the souls of the protagonists and the general decisions of the citizens of a city-state (society).
He is conscious that his work will remain "a possession for all time," as long as human nature remains the same, and he is absolutely vindicated.
