Bøger af Niccolo Machiavelli

You might think that Machiavelli's "The Prince", the definitive guide to becoming a 16th century despot has no place in the modern world. If you are running for office, occupying a foreign country, planning an hostile merger, or have a job, this study of the realpolitik is an indispensable as it was 500 years ago. The modern relevance of this ancient text is spelled out in a through and hilariously to-the--point introduction.

Il Principe (titolo assegnato nell'edizione originale postuma di Antonio Blado e poi unanimemente adottato, ma il titolo originario era in lingua latina: De Principatibus, "Sui Principati") è un trattato di dottrina politica scritto da Niccolò Machiavelli nel 1513, nel quale espone le caratteristiche dei principati e dei metodi per mantenerli e conquistarli. Si tratta senza dubbio della sua opera più nota e celebrata, quella dalle cui massime (spesso superficialmente interpretate) sono nati il sostantivo "machiavellismo" e l'aggettivo "machiavellico". L'opera non è ascrivibile ad alcun genere letterario particolare, in quanto non ha le caratteristiche di un vero e proprio trattato; se ne è ipotizzata la natura di libriccino a carattere divulgativo. Il Principe si compone di una dedica e ventisei capitoli di varia lunghezza; l'ultimo capitolo consiste nell'appello ai de' Medici ad accettare le tesi espresse nel testo.

Dell'arte della guerra è diviso in sette libri preceduti da un proemio e composti da una serie di dialoghi tra Cosimo Rucellai, un amico di Machiavelli morto in giovane età, e Fabrizio Colonna, con altri patrizi e membri della recente Repubblica fiorentina. Quest'opera è dedicata a Lorenzo di Filippo Strozzi, patrizio fiorentino. Fabrizio è affascinato dalle legioni romane dell'inizio della Repubblica e sostiene fortemente la possibilità di adattare quello stesso sistema alla Firenze rinascimentale. Fabrizio domina le discussione con la sua conoscenza e saggezza. Gli altri personaggi fanno da semplici contraltari. I dialoghi, quindi, spesso si risolvono in monologhi di Fabrizio che indica come un esercito dovrebbe essere formato, allenato e organizzato.

The Prince is a political treatise by the Italian diplomat, historian and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Originally given a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities), it was written in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done 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 it was written as if it were a traditional work in the Mirror of Princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative, and not only because it was written in Italian rather than Latin. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics. Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of his works and the one most responsible for bringing "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term. It also helped make "Old Nick" an English term for the devil, and even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries. In terms of subject matter it overlaps with the much longer Discourses on Livy, which was written a few years later. In its use of examples who were politically active Italians who perpetrated criminal deeds for politics, another lesser-known work by Machiavelli which The Prince has been compared to is the Life of Castruccio Castracani. The descriptions within The Prince have the general theme of accepting that ends of princes, such as glory, and indeed survival, will justify the mean.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), an Italian political philosopher, is remarkable for his self-contradictions. In his writings he appears sometimes as a cynical pragmatist, sometimes - as an ardent Republican. Perception of Machiavelli is also quite contradictory - sometimes entirely derogatory and scornful, sometimes - admiring and appreciative. Who was he, this peer of Leonardo da Vinci? A smart and cruel manipulator or a passionate libertarian? And if both are true, does not it shed a strange light on the heritage of High Renaissance? Our readers can now judge Machiavelli on the basis of his work.

The Prince - abridged and with a limited amount of notes. Catherine also brings The Prince to modern readers with her original "comparison trees" - to help you keep track of Machiavelli's various "something is A or it's B" arguments.

When I consider how much honor is attributed to antiquity, and how many times, not to mention many other examples, a fragment of an antique statue has been bought at a great price in order to have it near to one, honoring his house, being able to have it imitated by those who delight in those arts, and how they then strive with all industry to present them in all their work: and when I see, on the other hand, the works of greatest virtu which Historians indicate have been accomplished by ancient Kingdoms and Republics, by Kings, Captains, Citizens, Lawgivers, and others who have worked themselves hard for their country, to be more readily admired than imitated, or rather so much neglected by everyone in every respect that no sign of that ancient virtu remains, I cannot otherwise than wonder and at the same time be sad: and so much more when I see in the civil differences that arise between Citizens, or in the maladies which men incur, they always have recourses to those judgments or to those remedies that have been judged or instituted by the ancients. For the civil laws are nothing else but the decisions given by the ancient Jurisconsults, which reduced to a system presently teach our Jurisconsults to judge and also what is medicine if not the experience had by the ancient Doctors, (and) on which the present Doctors base their judgments? None the less in the instituting of Republics, in maintaining of States, in the governing of Kingdoms, in organizing an army and conducting a war, in (giving) judgment for Subjects, in expanding the Empire, there will not be found either Prince, or Republic, or Captain, or Citizen, who has recourse to the examples of the ancients.

"THOSE princes and those republics which desire to remain free from corruption, should above all else maintain incorrupt the ceremonies of their religion. They should always hold them in veneration; for there can be no surer indication of the decline of a country than to see divine worship neglected." Niccolo Machiavelli JUST WHAT should a young man or woman know in order to be"In the Know"? Is there, in other words, some inside information, some special taboo, some real lowdown on life and existence that most parents and teachers either don't know or won't tell? In Japan it was once customary to give young people about to be married a "Pillow Book." This was a small volume of wood-block prints, often colored, showing all the details of sexual intercourse. It wasn't just that, as the Chinese say, "one picture is worth ten thousand words." It was also that it spared parents the embarrassment of explaining these intimate matters face-to-face. Today, you can get such information at any newsstand. Sex is no longer a serious taboo. Teenagers sometimes know more about it than adults. But if sex is no longer the big taboo, what is? For there is always something taboo, something repressed, un-admitted, or just glimpsed quickly out of the corner of one's eye because a direct look is too unsettling. In some circles there is a strong taboo on Religion, even in circles where people go to church or read the Bible. Here, religion is one's own private business. It is bad form or uncool to talk or argue about it, and very bad indeed to make a big show of piety. Yet when you get in on the inside of almost any standard-brand religion, you wonder what on earth the hush was about. In "On Religion no less than Niccolò Machiavelli, the author of The Prince himself, who takes you by the hand and gives you some real lowdown on what religion is all about. It is kind of all you wanted to know about Religion but was afraid to ask!

Benché si tratti dell'unico lavoro storico-politico dell'autore pubblicato mentre questi era ancora in vita, è un libro meno letto e conosciuto del Principe, uscito postumo. L'opera è scritta, nello stile del dialogo, con lo scopo, dichiarato in principio da Fabrizio Colonna (alter ego dello stesso Machiavelli)

Il Principe (titolo originale in lingua latina: De Principatibus, lett. " Sui Principati") è un trattato di dottrina politica scritto da Niccolò Machiavelli nel 1513, nel quale espone le caratteristiche dei principati e dei metodi per mantenerli e conquistarli. Si tratta senza dubbio della sua opera più rinomata, quella dalle cui massime (spesso superficialmente interpretate) sono nati il sostantivo "machiavellismo" e l'aggettivo "machiavellico".

Der Fürst (italienisch Il Principe) wurde um 1513 von Niccolò Machiavelli verfasst. Die päpstliche Druckgenehmigung erschien am 4. Januar 1532 postum. Vorher kursierten Abschriften des Werkes. Es gilt neben den Discorsi, das Machiavelli parallel zum Fürstenbuch schrieb, als sein Hauptwerk. Das Fürstenbuch lobt den neuen Fürsten, die Discorsi plädieren für eine Republik. Obwohl die beiden Werke eine unterschiedliche Ausrichtung haben, geht es beiden politischen Werken Machiavellis um dieselbe Grundfrage: Wie kann man in einer feindlichen politischen Umwelt erfolgreich sein, namentlich die Macht erwerben, sie erhalten und zu Größe steigern?

Quot sint genera principatuum et quibus modis acquirantur. [Di quante ragioni sieno e' principati, e in che modo si acquistino]

Hanno, Lorenzo, molti tenuto e tengono questa opinione: che e' non sia cosa alcuna che minore convenienza abbia con un'altra, né che sia tanto dissimile, quanto la vita civile dalla militare. Donde si vede spesso, se alcuno disegna nello esercizio del soldo prevalersi, che subito, non solamente cangia abito, ma ancora ne' costumi, nelle usanze, nella voce e nella presenza da ogni civile uso si disforma; perché non crede potere vestire uno abito civile colui che vuole essere espedito e pronto a ogni violenza; né i civili costumi e usanze puote avere quello il quale giudica e quegli costumi essere effeminati e quelle usanze non favorevoli alle sue operazioni; né pare conveniente mantenere l...
