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.
Translated by George Bull
Introduction by Anthony Grafton
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).

评分我赞成这本书90%的观点⋯
评分想着中国历史就很能理解这本书了
评分买这种书,有了introduction真是易懂

以下是我读《君主论》时的书摘,摘到一半时,我突然发现,如果把文中的部分词汇改一下,这本《君主论》就可以变成一本可以指导男人追女人,解决一些困难的情感事务的《男人论》。 不过,当你开始阅读下面的文章前,最好心里有一个清楚的认识,就是“不择手段”是有前提...
评分 评分如果单独的看《君主论》,我觉得这本书并不特别。但是如果把《君主论》与唐太宗李世民写的《帝范》一起来看的话,就有点意思了。 由于中国自古以来大部分的时间都是一个统一的国家,所以一个皇帝最重要的任务就是维持国家的繁荣稳定,所以《帝范》讲的都是关于国家的治理。 ...
评分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...
评分很显然,马基雅维里是一代政治学导师。真实的太真实的,残忍与冷酷只配俯首于权力之下并供之驱使。不要把它们上升为人性之中阴暗一面,在我看来它比加州阳光还更令人心旷神怡。如果个人作为社会整体的一部分,那在各种需要层次被涵盖满足过后,君主就是自我实现的唯一途径。...
