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【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...

评分感觉和The Prince一起读会很有趣,可惜课时太紧读的只是寥寥几页节选。因为教授是译者且教授课教得好且教授爱卖萌所以来打五星。。。
评分补标一下去前花心思最多的书。一个吊诡的共和国,当讨论德性不再古典传统的品质性情,共和国的德性仿佛只剩下一张薄薄的纸。归根到底马基雅维利认为平民是又坏又蠢的,政治只是一场趋向于败坏的运动。在本科前三年给予我最大困扰和启发的不是柏拉图亚里士多德,也不是霍布斯卢梭,也不是马基雅维利的《君主》,而是这本诡异的《论李维》。
评分有机会细读全书。干净的语言,感觉比读更近一些的作品要舒服。
评分Tarcov爷爷译的(o゚▽゚)o马基雅维利不停回收罗马史的例子(笑)
