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.
【按语:马基雅维利的《论李维》通过评注李维的史书《自建城以来》,以夹叙夹议的方式进行史论,考察了古罗马建城以来的伟大政治宏业及其经验教训,其间特别比照了古罗马的尊严荣耀和今日意大利的凋敝沉沦。共3卷,卷1考察了罗马共和时期官方的谋略和决策;卷2考察了罗马建立大...
評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...
評分 評分【按语:马基雅维利(1469-1527)将《君主论》(1512)献给佛罗伦萨的统治者Lorenzo de’ Medici。《君主论》是《论李维》的一个分支或较小的姊妹篇。小清新,很简单。就其谋略论述而言,与亚里士多德《政治学》卷4-6差不多是异曲同工,并不更让人心惊胆战。 在区分了共和国和...
感謝中大圖書館,非常漂亮的原版書。可惜讀馬基雅維利實在是非常吃力。
