- W2567345400 abstract "In this thesis, I interpret Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian Warutilizing models of game theory to distil the abstract strategic structures thatThucydides illuminates. It is possible by close analysis of the narrative toextract an implicit descriptive theory embedded in the narrative, never madeexplicit but a consistent presence wherever characters, groups and nationsinteract. Game theory in its informal structure (i.e. without deploying the fullformal apparatus of mathematics) offers a valuable extension to narratology,a narrative theory already successfully introduced into Classical studies.The thesis studies Thucydides’ conception of the agon (contest/competition)in its basic framework from simple strategic and dynamic games to gameswith boundedly rational players. I argue that Thucydides describes atropology of interaction by inferring motivations from observed actions.Chapter 1 and 2 discuss Thucydides’ method of reading the minds ofhistorical agents to explore historical causation in simultaneous move andsequential move environments, respectively. Chapter 3 discusses agentswith incomplete information and also agents who take irrational decisions.Thucydides allows room in his narrative for players to miscalculate or makeconjectures when faced with an interactive environment. He writes historyas a description of similar types of potentially recurrent events andsequences linked by a causal chain, whose outcomes are onlyprobabilistically predictable. Whilst analysing different types of interactions,the study aims to explore different game theoretic models based onThucydides’ tropology of interaction, in order to identify in the final chapternew research directions for rational actor models as well as stochasticenvironments for the benefit of political science." @default.
