The Prince

The Prince pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

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).

Rejecting the traditional values of political theory, Machiavelli drew upon his own experiences of office in the turbulent Florentine republic to write his celebrated treatise on statecraft. While Machiavelli was only one of the many Florentine "prophets of force," he differed from the ruling elite in recognizing the complexity and fluidity of political life.

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...

马基雅维里之所以遭人憎恨,原因其实很简单,他就是那个皇帝的新衣里面的小孩,说出了许多大家心知肚明的事情。或许,大家只不过是云山雾罩般的生活在一个充满着道德欺骗和仁义至上的虚假国度中,但是马基雅维利毫不留情的用手术刀般的精准的洞见揭示了这个国度的生存法则,并...

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...

马基雅维利这本著作从问世开始,一直以来可以说毁多于誉,在读这本书第一次的过程中,我还没有怎么感觉到里面有什么太坏的(相对于韩非子),很多人也喜欢将它与韩非子相提并论。但是,后面我觉得,这本书的写作逻辑和韩氏还是有很大不同的,起码作为基础的人性假设我认为就有...

从政治厚黑学的角度来说显得基础了,了解意大利及佛罗伦萨历史来讲还不错
