"Discourses on Livy" is the founding document of modern republicanism, and Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov have provided the definitive English translation of this classic work. Faithful to the original Italian text, properly attentive to Machiavelli's idiom and subtlety of thought, it is eminently readable. With a substantial introduction, extensive explanatory notes, a glossary of key words, and an annotated index, the "Discourses" reveals Machiavelli's radical vision of a new science of politics, a vision of "new modes and orders" that continue to shape the modern ethos.
"[Machiavelli] found in Livy the means to inspire scholars for five centuries. Within the "Discourses", often hidden and sometimes unintended by their author, lie the seeds of modern political thought. . . . [Mansfield and Tarcov's] translation is careful and idiomatic".--Peter Stothard, "The Times"
"Translated with painstaking accuracy--but also great readability".-- "Weekly Standard"
"A model of contemporary scholarship and a brave effort at Machiavelli translation that allows the great Florentine to speak in his own voice".-- "Choice"
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (1469–1527) was an Italian historian, philosopher, humanist, and writer based in Florence during the Renaissance. He is one of the main founders of modern political science.[1] He was a diplomat, political philosopher, playwright, and a civil servant of the Florentine Republic. He also wrote comedies, carnival songs, poetry, and some of the most well-known personal correspondence in the Italian language. His position in the regime of Florence as Secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence lasted from 1498 to 1512, a period in which the Medici were not in power. Machiavelli's most well-known writing was, however, after this period, during the time when the Medici recovered power, and Machiavelli was removed from all positions of responsibility
在《论李维》中,马基雅维利极端推崇罗马的体制(或者说德行),并且希望在当时的意大利推行这样的体制。(这点在《君主论》中表现得尤为强烈。) 他一反被众多人所接受的观点(当然这点也在《君主论》中更为明显),但是事实上也是更有效的。 “认为谦卑可以战胜傲慢的人,往...
評分当一个文明产生了法家,代表着这个文明已经度过了他繁荣的盛夏,开始出现了收割者。韩非子之于中国,马基雅维利之于意大利,皆是如此。两人的比较历来是学术的热点。比起用心的险恶和腹黑,显然马氏不及韩非一趾,正如最专断的欧洲君主亦不及秦皇汉武一趾。但论及理论深度和思...
