Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (3 May 1469 – 21 June 1527) was an Italian philosopher, writer, and politician and is considered one of the main founders of modern political science.[1] He was a diplomat, political philosopher, musician, poet and playwright, but, foremost, he was a civil servant of the Florentine Republic. In June of 1498, after the ouster and execution of Girolamo Savonarola, the Great Council elected Machiavelli as Secretary to the second Chancery of the Republic of Florence.[2]
Like Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli is considered a typical example of the Renaissance Man. He is most famous for a short political treatise, The Prince written 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death, the same like another work of realist political theory, the Discourses on Livy. Although he privately circulated The Prince among friends, the only work he published in his life was The Art of War, about high-military science. Since the sixteenth century, generations of politicians remain attracted and repelled by the cynical (realist) approach to power posited in The Prince, the Discourses, and the History.[3] Whatever his personal intentions, which are still debated today, his surname yielded the modern political word Machiavellianism—the use of cunning and deceitful tactics in politics or in general.
The Discourses on Livy (Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio, Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livy) is a work of political history and philosophy composed in the early 16th century by the famed Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), best known as the author of The Prince. Where The Prince is devoted to advising the ruler of a principality, i.e., a type of monarchy, the Discourses purport to explain the structure and benefits of a republic, a form of government based on popular consent and control. It is considered almost unanimously by scholars to be if not the first, then certainly the most important, work on republicanism in the early modern period.[1] Machiavelli dedicated this work to Zanobi Buondelmonti and Cosimo Rucellai, two of the greatest exponents of the Orti Oricellari in Florence, where aristocratic young people met in order to discuss politics, art and literature.

评分我认为马基雅弗利的厉害之处在于:他能让未亲身经历过这些事情的人觉得他说的是如此的理所当然和符合逻辑。同时,这也说明了我们现在这个时代与他们的相似(起码从政治哲学上来说):人们没有底线,以结果论英雄,卑劣无耻但能达到目的的手段被奉为信条。这样方能解释为何我会...

评分这部作品用大量的史实,赞颂罗马共和国的优良制度和罗马贵族、人民的德行。与近代作品相比,它不是建构在人文精神、道德的基础上,而是奠基于功利主义。马基雅维利绝不人云亦云,观察、剖析历史角度独特、深刻锐利,象一把锐利的手术刀,常有惊世骇俗观点,然而细细品味确有其...
