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).
Some points are still not outdated to this day.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。
评分very practical. thx

评分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
“关于我的忠诚老实,应该没有疑问,因为我一直保持忠诚老实,我现在不会改变它。像我一个四十三年来一向是忠诚老实和善良的人,是不能够改变他的性质的;而且我贫穷,就是我为人忠诚老实和善良的证据。”——马基雅维利 1512年,四十三岁的马基雅维利在对自己做人格鉴定时,...
评分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...
评分中国的革命,大多是自下而上的,于是需要《论语》,需要论语河蟹下里巴人们的思想 而《君主论》,则是写给想要变革的上位者看的,告诉他们怎么让下面的人听话 本质来说,都是同一本书,同一个思想,只不过是对象不一样,所以看上去有些不同 但是,基本上,两本可以对照来看,很...
评分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...
