Niccolò Machiavelli (born May 3, 1469, Florence-died June 21, 1527, Florence) Italian statesman, historian, and political theorist. He rose to power after the overthrow of Girolamo Savonarola, was appointed secretary and Second Chancellor to the Florentine Republic in 1498. Working as a diplomat for 14 years, he came in contact with the most powerful figures in Europe. He was dismissed when the Medici family returned to power in 1512, and during the next year he was arrested and tortured for conspiracy. Though soon released, he was not permitted to return to public office. His famous treatise The Prince (1513, published 1532) is a handbook for rulers; though dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici, ruler of Florence from 1513, it failed to win Machiavelli his favour. Machiavelli viewed The Prince as an objective description of political reality. Because he viewed human nature as venal, grasping, and thoroughly self-serving, he suggested that ruthless cunning is appropriate to the conduct of government. Though admired for its incisive brilliance, the book also has been widely condemned as cynical and amoral, and “Machiavellian” has come to mean deceitful, unscrupulous, and manipulative. His other works include a set of discourses on Livy (completed c. 1518), the comedy The Mandrake (completed c. 1518), The Art of War (published 1521), and the Florentine Histories (completed c. 1525).
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.
还没读完,就急不可待的想写一点感想。原谅我的随意。 也许是翻译的缘故,我觉得马基亚维利从头到尾似乎都是一个很矛盾的人,不敢肯定什么,同时也不敢轻易否定。 我欣赏他对王权的理解,他觉得政府如果作为一个维持统治的目的而存在,是可以利用一切所能考虑的...
评分我前日写了一篇文章([https://www.douban.com/note/741354078/]),简单地对比了刘训练翻译的【君主论】与潘汉典翻译的【君主论】字句的相似处。提出了【刘训练译本是完全以潘译本为底本,参照英文版译本修改字句的潘译本“加工本”,刘训练不应该单独署译者名】这一观点。拙...
评分按常见的说法,《君主论》是现代政治科学的起源,其核心标志是它在思考政治问题时脱离了伦理学的考虑,进行一种中立的技术分析。也有人认为《君主论》是一本授恶之书,它为了实现民族解放这一似乎带有正面价值的目标而选择不择手段,从而,它为了拯救自己的祖国而放弃了拯救自...
评分统治者读了学会"如狮子般凶猛如狐狸般狡猾",民众读了明白要"防兽防主席",不过要读明白啊,别太迂腐了.呵呵.
评分毓秀 施特劳斯在《现代性的三次浪潮》里认为马基雅维利是现代性的开创者,何谓现代性,这个概念耳熟能详但一直没有定论,在我看来,所谓政治人向经济人的过渡亦或者一个历史进步的线性时间观念不过是现代性的附属物。现代性的核心理应是相信人能通过自己的意志和理性,审慎和决...
