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).

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...

評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...

評分首先,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...
