La prima metà del IV secolo a.C. è un’età di transizione in Grecia. Non si può comprendere al meglio questa stagione senza concentrarsi su un protagonista, Epaminonda (fine V sec. – 362 a.C.), che sconfisse Sparta sul campo e portò al successo importanti innovazioni tattiche. Epaminonda affascina ancora come modello di guida eclettica che seppe rispondere con moderazione ed equilibrio alle sfide di uno scenario internazionale profondamente mutato. Centrale per Epaminonda fu il Peloponneso. Nella complessità della sua carriera politica risiede il fascino maggiore di questo instancabile uomo delle istituzioni. Epaminonda fu un generale anomalo da più di un punto di vista, dotato di una profonda cultura musicale e di una sensibilità alla filosofia che ribalta anche i pregiudizi contro la sua patria, tacciata spesso come città chiusa all’approfondimento delle scienze. Non sorprende perciò l’attenzione di Epaminonda al peso della propaganda nella rappresentazione degli interventi nel Peloponneso, sempre giustificati come difesa dell’autonomia. L’Epaminonda statista provò a interpretare il policentrismo del suo tempo e a offrire delle risposte, il cui esito non fece in tempo a vedere.

"What we can learn about fostering innovation and creative thinking in any field from some of the most inventive people of all times-the ancient Greeks. When it comes to innovation and creative thinking, we are still catching up with the ancient Greeks. Between 800 and 300 BCE, they changed the world with astonishing inventions-democracy, the alphabet, philosophy, logic, rhetoric, mathematical proof, rational medicine, coins, architectural canons, drama, lifelike sculpture, and competitive athletics. None of this happened by accident. Recognizing the power of the new and trying to understand and promote the conditions that make it possible, the Greeks were the first to write about innovation and even the first to record a word for forging something new. In short, the Greeks "invented" innovation itself-and they still have a great deal to teach us about it. How to Innovate is an engaging and entertaining introduction to key ideas about-and examples of-innovation and creativite thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus, with the original Greek text on facing pages. These writings illuminate and illustrate timeless principles of creating something new-borrowing or adapting existing ideas or things, cross-fertilizing disparate elements, or criticizing and disrupting current conditions. From the true story of Archimedes's famous "Eureka!" moment, to Aristotle's thoughts on physical change and political innovation, to accounts of how disruption and competition drove invention in Greek warfare and the visual arts, How to Innovate is filled with valuable insights about how change happens-and how to bring it about"--
