Abstract:

With his essay “Agrarverhältnisse im Altertum,” Max Weber pushed the scholarly narrative of the rise of the Ancient Greek polis closer to what was to become the paradigm of the twentieth century: that the unique political development of Greece followed from the rise of a new kind of warrior, the hoplite. But the scholars who would enshrine this “hoplite revolution” theory seem to have been ignorant of Weber. His prescient work is never cited on this subject. This article explores the contemporary origins and Weberian nature of a forgotten version of the “hoplite revolution” theory.

马克斯·韦伯、城邦的兴起和“重装步兵革命”理论

摘要：

在他的论文“Agrarverhältnisse im Altertum”中，马克斯·韦伯将古希腊城邦崛起的学术叙事推向了二十世纪的典范：希腊独特的政治发展源于一个新的一种战士，重装步兵。但奉行这种“重装步兵革命”理论的学者们似乎对韦伯一无所知。在这个主题上从未引用过他的先见之明。本文探讨了被遗忘的“重装步兵革命”理论的当代起源和韦伯式本质。
