具体描述

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

作者简介

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).

首先,让我们先确立一个方向:这本书是谁写给谁看的。   这本书是一个知识分子在观察历史与意大利诸侯割据的现状下“以平原的目光来观察山峰”的角度写给身居高位的君主看的。   明确了这个方向,就要确定一些范围   时代范围——处于什么样的一个历史时期,作者...

马基雅维利的《君主论》是西方现代政治思潮的里程碑。我一直想弄清楚这个现代究竟准确地指向哪里?至少不是我们的教科书中那样信誓旦旦宣称的1949年后,似乎自那之后便全是一片新天地,非现代不可。另一种说法是,生活在1469到1527年间的马基雅维利是近代政治学的鼻祖,这个说...

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...

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。 ...

Some points are still not outdated to this day. Suggestions on internal affairs mostly consisted of maintaining the prince’s public images, while going in detail about wartime governance. At least he doesn’t encourage confiscating people’s property, even 16th century western political thought is more humanitarian than 中国◯◯党。
