Machiavelli, N: Prince

Machiavelli, N: Prince


en Paperback

Observăm că, în ciuda abundenței de tratate etice din perioada Renașterii, literatura academică a vremii suferea de o lacună majoră: absența unei analize pragmatice a puterii, decuplată de moralitatea creștină. The Prince a venit să umple acest gol, devenind fundamentul filosofiei politice moderne prin prioritizarea rezultatelor concrete în fața idealurilor abstracte. Suntem de părere că această ediție din seria Collins Classics reușește să păstreze forța brută a argumentației lui Niccolo Machiavelli, oferind cititorului acces direct la mecanismele conducerii de stat. Textul extinde cadrul propus de Machiavelli: Selected Political Writings cu date noi din contextul istoric al Italiei secolului al XVI-lea, punând accent pe distincția dintre conducerea prin „virtù” și cea dobândită prin noroc sau „cruzime criminală”. Remarcăm structura riguroasă a capitolelor, care deconstruiește calitățile necesare unui principe — de la gestionarea armatelor până la arta de a fi temut fără a fi urât. Această lucrare se raportează la Discourses on Livy (Discorsi) ca o piesă complementară: dacă în Discorsi autorul își exprima preferința pentru republică, în The Prince el analizează anatomia monarhiei și a statelor noi, tratând ambele forme de guvernare ca structuri de putere ce necesită prudență și calcul strategic. Stilul este unul tăios, cu o logică liniară ce refuză eufemismele, reflectând experiența diplomatică a autorului în misiuni pentru Republica Florentină. Față de alte ediții, precum The Prince (Special Student Edition), volumul de față se concentrează pe textul clasic, oferind o poartă de intrare esențială în studiul științelor politice și al constituționalismului european.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte oricărui student la științe politice sau lider în devenire care dorește să înțeleagă rădăcinile realismului politic. Prin The Prince, cititorul câștigă o perspectivă lucidă asupra modului în care se exercită influența și autoritatea, învățând să distingă între imaginea publică și necesitatea strategică. Este o lectură fundamentală pentru a înțelege cum s-a format gândirea politică occidentală modernă, dincolo de mitul „machiavelismului” vulgar.

Despre autor

Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) a fost un diplomat, filosof și istoric florentin, considerat astăzi părintele științei politice moderne. Cariera sa în serviciul public al Florenței i-a permis să observe direct manevrele politice ale unor figuri precum Cesare Borgia sau Ludovic al XII-lea, experiențe care au cristalizat viziunea sa asupra pragmatismului de stat. După revenirea familiei Medici la putere, Machiavelli s-a retras la ferma sa, unde a redactat cele mai importante lucrări ale sale, inclusiv The Prince și Discorsi, redefinind pentru totdeauna modul în care societatea raportează etica la exercițiul puterii.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor "The Prince" even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince . . . a king . . . a president. When, in 1512, Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not idealistic. . . "The Prince" . . .has become essential reading for every student of government, and is the ultimate book on power politics.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

That Machiavelli's name has become synonymous with cold-eyed political calculation only heightens the intrinsic fascination of The Prince - the world's pre-eminent how-to manual on the art of getting and keeping power, and one of the literary landmarks of the Italian Renaissance. Written in a vigorous, straightforward style which reflects its author's realism, this treatise on states, statecraft, and the ideal ruler is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how human society actually works.

Descriere scurtă

The Prince (Italian: Il Principe [il ¿print¿ipe]; Latin: De Principatibus) is a 16th-century political treatise written by Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli as an instruction guide for new princes and royals. The general theme of The Prince is of accepting that the aims of princes - such as glory and survival - can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends. From Machiavelli's correspondence, a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was carried out with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings". Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it was generally agreed as being especially innovative. This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice that had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the "effectual" truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It is also notable for being in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time, particularly those concerning politics and ethics. Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli's works, and the one most responsible for bringing the word "Machiavellian" into usage as a pejorative. It even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in Western countries. In subject matter, it overlaps with the much longer Discourses on Livy, which was written a few years later. In its use of near-contemporary Italians as examples of people who perpetrated criminal deeds for politics, another lesser-known work by Machiavelli to which The Prince has been compared is the Life of Castruccio Castracani.

Notă biografică

Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli ( 3 May 1469 - 21 June 1527) was an Italian Renaissance diplomat, philosopher and writer, best known for The Prince (Il Principe), written in 1513. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy or political science. For many years he served as a senior official in the Florentine Republic with responsibilities in diplomatic and military affairs. He wrote comedies, carnival songs, and poetry. His personal correspondence is of high importance to historians and scholars. He worked as secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512, when the Medici were out of power. Machiavelli's name came to evoke unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli advised most famously in The Prince.[7] Machiavelli considered political battles, not through a lens of morality, but as though they are a board game with established rules. His experience showed him that politics has always been played with deception, treachery and crime.[8] He also notably said that a ruler who is establishing a kingdom or a republic, and is criticized for his deeds, including violence, should be excused when the intention and the result is beneficial.[9][10][11] Machiavelli's Prince was much read as a manuscript long before it was published in 1532. The reaction was mixed: Some considered it a straightforward description of "the evil means used by bad rulers; others read in it evil recommendations to tyrants to help them maintain their power."[12] The term Machiavellian often connotes political deceit, deviousness, and realpolitik. Even though Machiavelli has become most famous for his work on principalities, scholars also give attention to the exhortations in his other works of political philosophy. While much less well known than The Prince, the Discourses on Livy (composed c.¿1517) is often said to have paved the way of modern republicanism
