InHellenistic
Inter-state
Political
Ethics
and
the
Emergence
of
the
Jewish
State,
Doron
Mendels
offers
ethicists,
historians,
and
general
readers
an
accessible
analysis
of
inter-state
codes
that
developed
and
went
hand-in-hand
with
the
increasing
political
dominance
of
the
Roman
Republic's
in
eastern
Mediterranean
affairs
during
the
years
200-168
BCE.
These
codes,
though
"virtual,"
can
be
readily
inferred
from
historiographic
sources
such
as
Livy,
Roman
Annalists,
Polybius,
and
1
and
2
Maccabees.
By
drawing
attention
to
shared
underpinnings
from
primary
sources
that
account
for
how
dominant,
subjugated,
allied
and
inimical
political
units
could
comprehend
and
interact,
Mendels
puts
the
rise
of
Jewish
nationalism
during
the
Maccabean
Wars
into
a
perspective
that
has
all
too
often
eluded
historians
and
those
who
engage
in
socio-political
ethics.
In
this
book
readers
are
treated
to
insights
into
flexible
yet
stable
unwritten
scripts
that
give
rise
to
a
world
whose
legacy
remains
with
us
today.
Doron Mendels' reading of Livy's History of Rome and 1-2 Maccabees demonstrates in an exemplary manner how an original and imaginative historian may put fresh wine into old wineskins. He surprises us first with the discovery of an inter-state ethical code created by the Romans at the beginning of the second century BC, before moving on to the conclusion, that Judea was a "normal" case of implementing this code. What strikes me as a historian of modern times above all, is the relevance of Mendels' reinterpretation of these historical sources of ancient history for the better understanding of contemporary circumstances, including those concerning the Middle-East.
Professor Doron Mendels' new book,Hellenistic Inter-state Political Ethics and the Emergence of the Jewish State, makes a seminal contribution to a number of fields, including classical studies, ancient history, and political thought. His study traces the gradual emergence in the years extending roughly from 200-168 BCE of an inter-state ethical system, an unwritten or virtual code governing the relations among states in the ancient Hellenistic world. In the first part of this book, Mendels brilliantly elaborates his argument by drawing on ancient historians, above all on Livy, who alluded to this ethical code in his histories. He then shifts his focus in the second part of the book to the ancient Jewish state and to accounts of its relations with other states in this period. Through a reading of books one and two of Maccabees, he analyzes the role of this ethical code in organizing relations between the Jewish state, Rome, and the Hellenistic empires. His original argument concerning the lasting significance of this code up through the modern period is presented in very readable and engaging form, and it lends to this book a contemporary relevance and a clear importance for scholars in a wide number of fields.
Doron Mendels presents us with a new dimension of the Hellenistic world in which ethical inter-state systems played a significant role while influencing each other, the Jewish state being part of this process.
