Donald Kagan, 2005 Jefferson Lecturer--Appreciation Kagan argues instead that Cleon's aggressive policies were what Athens needed after its first strategy of a defensive posture had failed; he even suggests that far from being Periclean, as Thucydides would have it, Cleon represented the strategy that Pericles would have turned to had he still been alive. Kagan's first and probably best-known challenge to Thucydides is the central thesis of the first volume, arguing against Thucydides' conclusion that the Peloponnesian War was inevitable and the result of sweeping historical forces. Kagan prefers to see the war as the result of a series of individual choices and miscalculations that, until nearly the last minute, could have been reversed. www.neh.gov /whoweare/kagan/appreciation.html   (2578 words)

Amazon.ca: Peloponnesian War: Books: Donald Kagan   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Kagan, a chaired professor of classics and history at Yale, describes his intention to offer both intellectual pleasure and a source of the wisdom so many have sought by studying this war. Kagan struggled with what to exclude from this scaled-down version of his longer work on the Peloponnesian War, I sometimes felt that he was rushing through certain sections, as if he were tired of expounding on the details of certain battles or the principals who took part in them.

Amazon.com: Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order: Books: Robert Kagan   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Kagan contradicts his own views, stating many times that Europe is militarily weak, nor does it have the capacity to build up its forces yet at the same time, puts forth an argument of Europe's capabilities of increasing its defense spending and military might to match the US. Kagan seems to have overlooked the fact, that though Hobbes had described the state of nature as that of "all against all", the only reason Hobbes justifies a sovereignty is to ensure peace on earth. Kagan's tunneled vision approach, which refers to the word `power' only in terms of military strength and capabilities, ultimately results in a false dichotomy, which is the stumbling stone for his thesis. www.amazon.com /Paradise-Power-America-Europe-World/dp/1400040930   (4935 words)

Earthquakes - An Essay by Dr. Yan Y. Kagan Kagan is a Research Geophysicist in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles. As I was finishing the manuscript (Kagan, 1973), I learned that David Vere-Jones, a mathematician at Victoria University in New Zealand, had published a paper (1970) in which he detailed an earthquake occurrence model based on the theory of one-dimensional point processes. Theoretical calculations, simulations and measurements of the rotation of earthquake focal mechanisms (Zolotarev, 1986; Kagan, 1994) suggest that the stress in the earthquake focal zones follows the Cauchy distribution which is one of the stable probability distributions. www.esi-topics.com /earthquakes/interviews/YanYKagan.html   (2259 words)

Kagan’s The Peloponnesian War by Mackubin T. Owens   (Site not responding. Last check: ) It is a crisp narrative of the war that supplements Thucydides’ account with the work of other authors, such as Plutarch and the Greek dramatists, Of course, Professor Kagan relies heavily on Thucydides, as any historian of the Peloponnesian War must, but he doesn’t hesitate to take issue with his judgments. In a 2002 interview with Yale Alumni Magazine, Professor Kagan outlined the two main truths that Thucydides teaches about international relations: that war, not peace, is the default position of the human species; and that nations fight for three reasons—fear, self-interest, and honor. As Professor Kagan observes, "the thin tissue of civilization that allows human beings to live decently and achieve their higher possibilities was repeatedly ripped asunder, plunging the combatants into depths of cruelty and viciousness of which only human beings at their worst are capable. www.ashbrook.org /publicat/oped/owens/03/kagan.html   (1937 words)
