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.
我之前转发潘汉典先生悼文时随口提到商务印书馆出版的潘译本【君主论】因编辑与校对的失责存在不少错误,很多朋友嘱我将错误具体列出来。可惜我不住在中国,短期内很难拿到实体本,而原来友人送的自存本早已在迁居时遗失。目前我可以找到的版本,是网络流传的PDF,既无从得知是...
評分中国的革命,大多是自下而上的,于是需要《论语》,需要论语河蟹下里巴人们的思想 而《君主论》,则是写给想要变革的上位者看的,告诉他们怎么让下面的人听话 本质来说,都是同一本书,同一个思想,只不过是对象不一样,所以看上去有些不同 但是,基本上,两本可以对照来看,很...
評分对人们最好是加以爱抚,要不然就必须消灭掉。这是因为人们如果受到了轻微的侵害,仍有能力进行报复; 但是对于沉重的伤害,他们就无能为力了。因此,当我们对一个人进行侵害时,应该彻底、不留后患,不给他任何报复的机会。 如果一个君主占领上面所说的地区,它在语言、习惯和...
評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...
