摘要
Tacitists use the historian's work as a source of advice for rulers. Hobbes and Spinoza, however, use Tacitus' accounts as materials with which to formulate their theory of affects and to explain the role they play in politics. In their theoretical structure, they give the examples a confirmatory function and an anthropological function; Spinoza also gives them an anticipatory function. The confirmatory function also has the role of preventing political theory from turning into a utopia.
