Meljski dijalog kao misaoni eksperiment

Abstract
Thucydides’ rendition of the Melian Dialogue is one of the most famous parts of his History of the Peloponnesian War, and possibly the most famous debate in international relations theory to this day. It has been retold, described, interpreted, analyzed and criticized in a vast number of works on international relations and ethics. The goal of this paper is to present and interpret the Melian Dialogue from a new, so far underexplored perspective, and view it as a thought experiment. In order to achieve this goal, the paper first provides a short discussion of several types and functions of thought experiments in philosophy and elsewhere. Second, the paper presents a short version of the Melian Dialogue. Third, the paper gives an interpretation of the Melian Dialogue as a thought experiment, argues that reading it as a thought experiment is possible, and attempts to pinpoint exactly what kind of thought experiment Thucydides conducted in terms of its function and logical structure.

Sažetak
Tukididova verzija Meljskog dijaloga jedan je od najpoznatijih dijelova njegove Povijesti Peloponeškog rata i vjerojatno najpoznatija rasprava u teorijama međunarodnih odnosa do naših dana. Prepričana je, opisana, tumačena, analizirana i kritizirana u velikom broju djela o međunarodnim odnosima i etici. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati i protumačiti Meljski dijalog iz nove, dosad nedovoljno istražene perspektive, promatrajući ga kao misaoni eksperiment. Da bi se postigao ovaj cilj, rad prvo ima kratku raspravu o nekoliko tipova i funkcija misaonih eksperimenata u filozofiji i drugdje. Drugo, rad daje kratak prikaz Meljskog dijaloga. Treće, u radu se interpretira Meljski dijalog kao misaoni eksperiment, tvrdi da se ga je moguće čitati kao misaoni eksperiment i pokušava se odrediti kakav je misaoni eksperiment Tukidid proveo u smislu njegove funkcije i logičke strukture.
