Abstract
Everett Wheeler's hypothesis that the Greek concept of ankhínoia finds its equivalent in eighteenth-century
military writers' notion of the coup d'oeil is tested by comparing treatises on the art of war written in the two
periods. After highlighting the different meanings of the coup d’oeil in 18th century military terminology,
Clausewitz's approach is examined in the light of his concept of the genius for war.
